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.
I absolutely love the show! It’s well written, beautifully done, and highly addictive. Everyone plays their role well and, with the cliffhanger at the end of the episode, it has you on the edge of your seat until the next one. I don’t know why people have to try and get rid of every little thing just because it doesn’t fit in with what they think is right. If you don’t like the show, then don’t watch it. Stop trying to control what other people can watch, just because you don’t like it. If FOX DOES try to get rid… Read more »
There are so many more important issues going on in this world, and these ‘million moms’ have nothing better to do than complain about a tv show??? They need to get a life, and put all that energy into something worthwhile, like helping raise money for abused and starving children, homeless families, veterans who made and make it possible for them to have the freedom to ***** about some harmless tv show! Lucifer is a fantastical fun take on the devil taking a holiday with humor added which makes it all the more interesting. This is a great show, which… Read more »
Love this show! The Lucifer character is halarious. The sarcasm is rampant and thoroughly delightful. Please do not cancel. I am a Christian, but I am smart enough to know this is fiction.
I doubt that it is a force of a million, number 1. Number 2? Olive Garden sucks; it’s the worst “Italian” food on the planet and I wouldn’t eat there if you paid me. I’ll just keep on watching a great show, thank you Million Moms.
love love the show!!!!!
Lucifer is a great show not only from a cleverly written, entertaining way, but there’s more theological truth in it than in most Christian Sunday services!
Most religious zealots who object to the show are not only missing a good time, they don’t understand the scriptures from which they claim add a basis for their “righteous judgement”!
I really like the show, it is entertaining. Those Moms truely sound like horrible people, to try and impose their opinion unto others, by trying to get a great show cancelled based on nothing substantiel. Religion is a destructive force (not an opinion, but a fact, easily verified by history itself). People should stop trying to pose arguments for anything, based on nothing more than mere fairytales. I am an Atheist, and from what I gather, the “Devil”, is not portrayed as evil everywhere, in fact, the true evil is “God”. A father banishing his son, to torture and watch… Read more »
i like the show – well written, very entertaining and it makes me think. very refreshing. i agree with all the other people who say “if you don’t like it, don’t watch” . its that simple. there are alot of worse shows like the reality shows that actually destroy families so lay off – live and let live already. life is tough enough, why make it any tougher?
I like the show. I am a Christian but that doesn’t mean I’m going to embrace satan. If anybody doesnt like it then don’t watch it….SIMPLE. I don’t see the difference between Lucifer and Supernatural and so many horror shows out there. Besides Lucifer is not that scary. Its really interesting. Cant wait for the next episode.
Cheap imitation of Moonlighting. I guess writers have just run out of new ideas. Turning Bruce Willis’ Moonlighting character into the devil is just plain rude.
I absolutely love the series ! very entertaining and would be very upset if it were to be discontinued
These women need to get a life! The show is great and entertaining!!!please do not cancel show.
Ok horrified in columbus! Change the damn channel! It people like you that ruin great entertainment! You really do need to worry more about our corrupt government, and less about our enjoyment of fiction material!
I think that the show Lucifer is NOT at all offensive or demeaning in any way shape or form! These yuppy mothers need to have their belts loosened! The show is meant to be entertaining, not depicted as religious! Anyone who has read the bible knows the truth about satan and why he was sent to hell! I love the show and i think it doesnt need to be cancelled because 1 million mothers out of 7 million viewers dont like it!
I want the show cancelled, too. It glorifies Satan and tried to make being the devil a good thing. This is a horrible idea. It’s one thing to be controversial but this crossed the line completely. How did it make it past so many executives???
Please stop attacking a good show, just because you have chosen to believe that god exists, you shouldn’t force your beliefs unto others. Many people like the show, it is entertainment, stop trying to apply the concept of a tv show, to real life. You have a choice, a simple one, change the channel.
In reality there are ALOT of evil in the world maybe the devil is inside us all we just choose the good or bad side of how we want to become
But its funny…….its always religion which starts wars!
Because not everyone shares your narrow mindset
Uh duh! Satan and Lucifer are not one and the same.
