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.
Do these folks realize that the show is FICTION? It’s for entertainment not religious altering belief conversions…
Even I know I shouldn’t seriously believe something I’ve seen on Survivor or Real Housewives of wherever…. let alone allow it to change my way of living or thinking. Wow, sad how others seem to think they need to tell us what’s right or wrong for reading & watching. Doesn’t being an adult make us capable of figuring that out for ourselves?
All you are going to do is piss off the people that like the show if you don’t like it then don’t watch it then no one is focusing you to watch it.
It’s a tv show so don’t watch it. Geez!
We love the show and like most parents if you don’t want your kids to see it don’t let them watch it. It’s funny and entertaining.
If every show someone didn’t like was cancelled there would be no TV. Control freaks much?
They don’t like Lucifer and they don’t like the Muppets. My guess is they don’t like TV and would love to see it all shut down. When we bow to the few, the many will lose their freedoms.
If I don’t like something, I have this really neat device that allows me to to change the channel. I don’t even have to get up.
Yes and what the heck is wrong with the Muppets?!@#
Do these moms know its based on the comic books? I mean yes it has the devil and whatever but it being based on the comics which makes it WAY MORE FICTIONAL then it already is
I real like this show, it’s not like evil show it’s interesting.. I don’t understand the mothers saying it’s evil, its a show & there not showing how to will or something real graphic…
Choice! Change the channel or turn off the TV. If one does not like broccoli, one may choose to eat something else, or have no green veggie at all. Same with one’s TV diet. Btw, love the show.
I think that these moms are overeacting and need to think about other people who watch this tv show.
You mom’s have too much free time. I am a Christian woman with stong spiritual beliefs. This is a tv show, purley entertainment for people not so serious. You don’t like it? Change the channel. As for the message to our youth? Why are your kids even allowed to see the show? Monitor what they watch a little closer if you’re concerned. Don’t you have more important changes you can crusade for in life? There are much bigger concerns to address than if this show is damaging the country as a whole. Even God has a sense of humor.

I’m also a Christian girl and don’t see what the problem is. My mom doesn’t care for the show but she doesn’t complain about it. She doesn’t think the show should be cancelled.
Our country is in danger of small radical groups dictating what is acceptable in a free society. Those who object to what they see on tv should change the channel. Networks must not be dictated to by the radical few or we will end up like the middle east dictators. The same group the religious right fears. Censorship is anti American.
I watch this show regularly. It is a FICTIONAL ADAPTATION of something that we all know about. For those who don’the realize this is entertainment and not a show suitable for children watch the rating announcement at the beginning of the show. Sheesh, people.
My husband and I both watch Lucifer, we like this show. If you don’t like it than change the channel.
Lucifer is a funny & amazing show! There’s no need for a million moms to get a lynch mob together every time there’s a show they don’t approve of on tv & rally to take it off the air. In the end it is just a tv show…for entertainment…not real. When you get home after a horrible day at work, you just want to sit & forget about it, hence the funny or romantic or supernatural shows (depending on personal preference). If you’re worried that your kids are going to believe a tv show then maybe people should be paying… Read more »
