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.
Watched just long enough to realize that this show will be just another failure on the Tom Ellis resume…just as big a fail as his USA Network show was.

This explains them…
Ouch! A hate group like the “KKK” and “Neo Nazis”. No wonder! I don’t understand why some Christians are so full of rage and hate. I have met some very nice people that are Christians. They are very tolerant just like their God when he walked the earth. The name Lucifer is very old. It comes from the old Roman’s believe system. The name was very popular back then. The catholic church has a Saint named Lucifer of Cagliari. It was a very beautiful popular name before it was taken and changed to something else or connected to the Arabian… Read more »
Omg why 1 million mom’s so ignorant. It’s a show omg. Why don’t they ban every anime there is because the demons are always the good. Why don’t they ban hellboy… and twilight and underworld and movies where witches are good. I honestly do not get them…
Besides lucifer was awesome!! Really funny.
If they don’t like the show they don’t have to watch it. The same way that I don’t have to watch their religious programs. This is a country of freedom of choice. Not mind control. The show was great! I’m sure most of them never even saw it!
I don’t believe in God, so the show has no effect on me whatsoever, except that I really like it. I particularly despise people who have a cultish religious following, and try to push their views on everyone else. To hell with them I say! Hahahahaha
But you do believe certain women not wearing tank tops. You sure preached about that. Whatever
I don’t believe that a comment equates to preaching, but like you say, whatever.
Please. Isn’t this the same group that tried to get Ellen off the air a while back- a woman who is all about love one another and kindness and all the good qualities that some of these supposed Christian groups are sorely lacking these days. And unless I’m mistaken, Lucifer who is a fallen angel, who thought he was bigger than God. That’s his whole gig, big flashy and materialistic and full of temptations and making himself look like something to envy, something you want. That’s his job. Oh, and by the way….. Its a TV show people. If you… Read more »
I’m just glad that this Hate Group wasn’t around when “Paradise Lost” was published: using Lucifer as a springboard for ideas goes back at least to the 17th Century.
I watched and found the show to be very entertaining! I am smart enough to know that it is a TV show and the actor is acting and is not the devil! All of you GOOD MOMS SHOULD HAVE YOUR YOUNG IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN IN BED AT 9pm any way!!! And leave the the good programs to the adults! STOP TRYING TO CENSOR WHAT WE WATCH!! It is no more violent than all the rest of the crime shows on TV!! I don’t see Lucifer trying to cast spells and make anybody do anything horrible! I do see someone who is… Read more »
Why is this group even given the time of day?? The things they’ve boycotted in the past have been ridiculous.
Personally I think its BS! I loved the prograM !! I think moms and yes I am one need to wake up! ITS a TV Show. Not Real!!! Like most of whats there. Its about making a choice to turn it off and watch something else. But don’t ruin it for the rest of us who understand the meaning of imagination and fantasy!!!
In addition, there are personal passwords for cable nowadays folks. Put a lock on that program so your kids can’t see it. The rest of the world who enjoys it shouldn’t be punished. Are your children allowed to access any other bad channels or programs? If they are then as a parent that’s your problem. I see a funny, interesting program that is make believe and entertaining. And like Yvonne M Sylvester said and I agree with her, If their faith is weak then they need to work on themselves. Do you Moms think that Witches (Charmed) working with demons… Read more »
While I am not much on censorship, I do tend to draw a line on making the icon of evil into someone to be envied and emulated. They should have used the name and made it clear this was just someone with the name but they actually are using Lucifer as himself and call me suspicious (since I am only somewhat religious and as a book reviewer have read much worse) but opening things like this up to a world of teenagers and children just seems like a very bad idea so i would support them in this one effort.
If people can’t tell reality from fiction, they shouldn’t be watching tv.
If their faith is so weak, then maybe they need to work on themselves! It’s a tv show for Gods sake! It sounds like the Satan character is very attractive to them which tells me they need to work on themselves if they can’t tell the difference between a good looking actor and the character he is portraying!
Well, I don’t agree with them about The Muppets but I do about Lucifer on Fox. There’s enough evil in the world without glorifying the one who causes a lot of it.
People cause evil, not characters from books.
And what if humanity is the source of evil, and Lucifer is just the fall guy. From what I can tell, demons don’t give birth to evil, they just exploit what’s already there. The fact of the matter is, even if the war in heaven happened, we don’t really know what happened or what started it. The victor writes the history. And if you don’t believe me, think about this, if America lost its revolution, what would the histories say about the Founding Fathers? Would they be revolutionaries? Or would they be terrorists and criminals?
It’s always interesting to see what the moms will attack. I never really wanted to watch the show since it is probably as dumb as so many other shows that it is copying. When I first heard about the show, I was thinking it was more of a “maybe even an evil person can become good” rather than glorifying evil. Now that the moms are against, it makes me want to check it out and maybe go to Olive Garden and have a breadstick.
I refuse to watch a show that puts the devil in a good light.
then don’t watch it. No one is holding a gun to your heads!! Really. Make the choice to turn the channel, create a password against the program from being accessed. But leave my TV out of it because I liked it alot!!!
It’s not about the or anything, its just having a vacation in a way… But Lucifer is kind of a okay person…
