Lucifer premiered Monday night on FOX with more than seven million viewers tuning in, and one group is not at all happy with the new series. In fact, they are demanding that FOX cancel the series immediately.
One Million Moms has called on networks before to cancel series they object to. At the start of the fall season, they released a call to ABC to cancel The Muppets.
Now, they have set their focus on Lucifer. Read part of their statement about the series below.
“FOX’s new drama “Lucifer” is spiritually dangerous. The new program “Lucifer” glorifies Satan as a caring, likable person in human flesh. The character Lucifer Morningstar makes being the devil look cool, drives a fancy car, gets out of a speeding ticket, owns a nightclub in LA, and is irresistible to women.”
They go on to say that the premiere showed “graphic acts of violence, a nightclub featuring scantily-clad women, and a demon. The message of the show is clear. Lucifer is just misunderstood. He doesn’t want to be a bad guy, it’s God who is forcing him to play that role.”
How does One Million Moms want to get their message about Lucifer? They have asked people to focus on Olive Garden restaurants. They are asking people to contact the restaurant chain and let their feelings known about Lucifer because Olive Garden is sponsoring the FOX series.
Did you watch Lucifer? Are you a fan? Or, do you agree with One Million Moms? Tell us what you think.
One million moms wants Lucifer getting canceled? Totally agree.
And why, pray tell, do you want it canceled, Tran?
I think it is a great show! I think Tom Ellis is great as the CHARACTER Lucifer. This isn’t real so people need to get over it!
I liked the pilot, will give it a try, a nice refreshing break from all the reality crap out there. If you don’t like it don’t watch. Video games these people let their kids watch are worse. Do you know what your kids are doing on their phones when you aren’t looking over their shoulders? HINT – It’s much worse than this tv show…. I personally block channels I don’t want my kids watching FOX is not one of them. Now I guess I will go get dinner at Olive Garden!!!
I am a Devout Roman Catholic, and I love the show, I think the writers are great, the actors are awesome and to tell you the truth, Im not praying or hateing because of this show.. I see a lot of other tv shows that are so worse..I love that Lucifer is going to take on the main Devil…. love this show.. Ive seen worse people.. OMG, don’t watch it…
I’m a Christian and from the very announcement of this show I already knew that I wasn’t gonna watch it. Nor am I watching that show AMC is coming out with called “Preacher”. I personally don’t like how tv/movies are trying to portray Satan as a likable being when he isn’t. But if people are gonna watch this, along with all the other garbage on tv, then I at least have the option not to. Still wouldn’t mind if it went away though.
I am a devout Roman Catholic and I absolutely love the show. Lucifer is a funny and refreshing take on the devil. For God’s sake people lighten up! It is meant to be fun! If they don’t like it then don’t watch it. Olive Garden should be commended for the sponsorship of a good show. It is not really the Devil on the show! I thought we have evolved since the Middle Ages but apparently One Million have not!
Excellent review
Same here I love god A Ton but this show is amazing people over think everything also GOD BLESS YOU lol
If these One Million Moms don’t like “Lucifer” they don’t need to watch it. I understand the ratings were great for the first show. It is very entertaining. This is new a TV Series, showing an evil person starting to have a heart. So FOX I ask you to PLEASE do not to cancel this series.
God bless you donna I couldn’t agree more
Well, I look it like this….Yes, we can change the channel. However, why should we have to? We are working to protect our children and grandchildren. What if a child accidently tunes to that channel? I would certainly be very upset. Our children are the future of this country and I want to fill their minds with positive information. Either way, each one of us will stand in judgement before The Lord. I sure don’t want to have to explain to The Lord why I was allowing my children or grandchildren to watch such inappropriate material. Thanks for taking the… Read more »
Would you make the same argument to someone who wanted a religious program taken of the air because they had no desire to indoctrinate their children with religion (any religion)?
what’s more positive than Satan turning his back on the underworld and turning a new leaf….besides lock the channel at that time so your kids can’t watch it if your afraid
Oooh ooh the devil made me do it! Great show Fox!
@Terri You say you’re a Christian, but you forget the first rule of it. “If you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior as well as the only god, you get into heaven no matter what.” So it doesn’t matter what you let your kids watch. It could be porn, and you’d still be set for the afterlife. Seriously, I know gods are egotistical and see us as nothing more than pawns, but that’s just over the top.
Geez, Terri, get your knickers out of their twist. Number one: Lock out the kiddies from ‘accidentally’ tuning in–as this is an adult-themed show. I’m surprised you haven’t done that already, being the ‘good mother’ that you are. Number 2: By locking it out, you won’t have to explain to the Lord your failing to protect their little minds and your little mind, too. Number three: Do keep your religion to yourself and let the kiddies decide what they would like to watch on TV when they are older and if they want to sue you for kidnapping, imprisonment, and… Read more »
i thought it wa s very good and quite funny…and tom ellis I s a pleasure to look at.. these moms. really.. with all the crap on tv….and finally something enjoyable .. please ladies.. its a tv show… lets not get so dramatic..

the show is great lucifer is well written.
Just as many groups trying ban/cancel things in the past, one million moms may make this a hit show with their disapproval of this show!
the show is good. and ill stay with it.
it s a good show. and a show is just a show.
Good grief, don’t watch it!!! Everybody knows it is not reality. This is what Lucifer would do. It’s a tv show. If people don’t like, watch another channel. I think it is entertaining, which is what it is supposed to be.
Exactly like dont ruin it for people who enjoy it
i actually found the show very entaining. hey people its just fantasy and at least its a new idea which seems to be rarer and rarer on tv these days. i would think the same people against this show would also be horrified abut tv shows like the walking dead, znation, i zombie etc, etc. it is escapism and not real and liking the characters is the most important part of the show and these characters are likable
Tom Ellis would be a great James Bond.
