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.
As a member of OneMillionMoms, member of FACT, AFA, ADF Legal, Correspondent for the United States Press Associations…. I stand firm with the moms! Lucifer is a stupid show to begin with, not to mention lousy writing. We need to boycott any and ALL sponsors of this type of show. Just like the show “Black. Jesus”. We have called for a boycott on many sponsors products. The issue is this….. Christians hold 72% of the American buying power, whereas other groups hold only 4%. So with that in mind, who will hurt a sponsor more. It is time for Christians… Read more »
I think I will go have dinner at Olive Garden. The Muppets ? REALLY !
Except most Christians are reasonable and know fact from fiction. It’s the, probably, 10% of extremists that have a problem. If you want inappropriate content off the air, start with the molester-enabling Duggar clan.
And how exactly does 72% + 4% = 100%???
instead why not go after the porn on TV the pedophiles and such . as an adult you police your children and not the adults in the end you hope you have done a wonderful job as a parent but in the as God has said he gives free will. As adults your kids may choose to watch things you disagree upon but alas there is still free will. I for one thought the show was well written and gave a new side to Satan who wanted to turn a new leaf..you cannot paint someone with the same brush over… Read more »
Wow do you realize you sound just like a the religious finatitics in the Middle East. Next do you plan to make non Christnans wear a gold star. Also 72+4% is 76% so who are the other 24% that have the buying power?
Maybe if people were punished in the US for committing crimes like they do in the Middle East then perhaps there would be less people committing those crimes. Too many criminals and illegals in the US being rewarded while many law-abiding legal citizens get treated as though they’re the criminals or illegals. People should take a stand.
I don’t like kale. You don’t see me at the grocery store demanding they stop selling it. If people want to eat kale (you know who you are Michelle Obama) then fine. I choose not to like it and not to eat it. And life goes on….
I haven’t been to church for about 6 years, so you’ll forgive me for not remembering correctly, but isn’t the founding tenants of Christianity “forgiveness and redemption”? So after 10,000 or so years, the devil can’t ask for forgiveness? It’s this idiotic hypocrisy that helped me realize that Christianity just isn’t my kind of religion. You realize that you sound like those freaks from a few years back protesting at military funerals, saying “thank god for dead soldiers”, right?
If you don’t like it, then don’t watch it. It’s that easy. You control what you and your kids watch and let us control what we watch.
Where in the Hell (no pun intended) did you find those figures of Christians holding 72% of buying power in America and non-Christians hold only 4%? Whah? Are you kidding me?! Have you even watched the show? I don’t think you have with regards to your ‘lousy writing’ comment. The show is clever, charming, funny, wonderfully unpredictable, and extremely well-written. I’m Christian and I LOVE the show! How many ham sandwiches or lobster dinners have you had lately? God says we should stone you to death, then. Peddle your rubbish elsewhere, change the channel, police your own kids more, and… Read more »
Fox has been pushing trash for decades, where have these parents been? My youngest is 22 years old and I was censoring Fox long before he was born. Moms – do yourself a favor and rage at Hollywood for ALL the major channels and try to clean up ALL the stations, not just Fox. I blocked The Simpson’s because of Bart Simpson’s attitude of talking back to his parents. Today, people comment all the time how polite, friendly and helpful he is compared to the majority of foul-mouthed young people (even kids) are out in public these days. I didn’t… Read more »
Well, here we go again with a bunch of nonsense about a TV show! There are so many show that shouldn’t be on television, but still they are.. A great show Starring Tom Ellis had recently been cancelled in USA network called “Rush” another excellent show. Please don’t let that happen to this one which looks to be the beginning of a fantastic series! I agree with the person who wrote the comment “lighten up people, this is tv, if you don’t like it, don’t watch. There are plenty of other shows for you to be tuning in to. With… Read more »
666 !!!!!
Add me to the long list I think it’s a dreadful show I gave it a chance and turned it off after five minutes so it can be gone gone goneWZ3
Great show. Finally a show worth watching. There are worse things on the daily news reports than what was shown on this. Tell the million moms to stick to the gospel shows if they don’t like it. Not everyone likes the usual bland happy show. Go watch boring Reality tv.
Can’t they mind their own business.Just don’t let your kids watch it. This show is fantastic.
No lucifer – no free will. It’s about time a show focused on his difficult role in life and sounded out his deep seated feelings about it.
Just kidding. it’s a great show. Kind of like Castle back when it was funny.
I found this new showing amazing….nothing dull about it. It was funny disarming charming well played and we’ll written. the million mom’s out there need to understand that it is not a kiddy show just as the new Muppets aren’t either. if it’s up to them we will end up watching chicken noodle soup kind of programming and nothing even remotely worth watching. I personally think it’s the next big hit for Fox
Of course this was bound to happen. The story of Lucifer is form a story ark that started in the DC comics Vertigo line called “The Sandman”. The story was basically that Lucifer was tired of doing the job that assigned to him by the Creator. HE eventually gave the keys to Hell to the Sandman and left it up to him to take care of it all while he went to Earth to kick back and see what life is all about. This lead to his won series of comics from DC. This is a great first episode into… Read more »
I watched the pilot episode and I thought it was great. I think it’s edgy and comical. I love that it’s different than any other show on television, and I’m a huge fan of the cast. I think anyone that is put off by it, or any show, should just refrain from watching it. In my opinion, people that want it cancelled are possibly taking it far too seriously. I respect anyone’s religious beliefs and values, but I don’t feel it was meant to be disrespectful at all. Take it for what it is. I am a spiritual person, but… Read more »
First of all, Lucifer is not the devil. He is from hell but they reference that his “Father'” is not happy which one would assume is the devil. And there are numerous shows with violence and scantily-clad women. I do not understand why people are making a big deal out of this show.
Just an fyi just for fun…. when he says his Father isn’t happy, it is GOD that he is talking about.
I hate how these moms are trying to take away what shows people like…i am a christian… And i know for a fact that the REAL lucifer is nothing at all like the one in the show… If these are moms complaining they should have enough sense to know that it’s just a show….and if they dont like it dont watch it…dont ruin it for other people
why are they even watching it if it offends so much …I was a very stick mom with my twins and made sure about what they watched but as an adult I watched what I would. At this point they mske their own decisions and if they choose to watch it’s on them. they’ve been raised well and make wise choices. As long as your confident in your parenting there should be not problem right
Tell the moms not to watch and not let their kids watch if it is so offensive to them. You know they do have a CHOICE. My husband and I loved the show. Please Fox do not cancel. It has the feel of being a very entertaining show.
