NBC closes book on `Daniel'
NBC has pulled the plug on the midseason drama ``The Book of Daniel.''
Effective immediately, the religion-themed show, starring Aidan Quinn as a conflicted Episcopalian priest grappling with modern-day work and family issues and occasional visits from Jesus, is taken off the schedule.
On Friday, NBC will air a rerun of ``Law & Order'' in ``Daniel's'' Friday 10 p.m. slot. On Feb. 3, the 10-11 p.m. hour will accommodate an extended two-hour edition of newsmagazine ``Dateline.''
``Daniel,'' which drew criticism from conservative groups for portraying Christianity in an unflattering light and was dropped by several NBC affiliates, failed to connect with an audience, most recently drawing a paltry 5.8 million viewers.
