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.
Easy, change the channel, really it’s just a show. It’s up to each parent to spiritually educate your child, don’t blame a show for your inability to teach your children. It is an adult program so if your letting your kids watch it and your against it, Shame on you, not the show.
One Million Moms, need to not watch Lucifer then, if it so “bad” and wrong. There is a thing called Freedom Of Speech, and that kinda holds true to TV shows, movies, art etc….. If you have a problem with it, ignore it, and don’t allow your children to watch it, but there are others like me, who totally liked the show, and I do not want it cancelled!!!!!
Like nobody saw this coming.
Maybe they should spend more time reaging The Bible. You know, the book where Satan works for God for the majority of the time?
Good to see some people actually complaining that the Devil might hang about in nightclubs given the normal imagery used to describe him to little kids.
Don’t like it, don’t watch it. I don’t watch crap that I dislike and then demand its removal. Grow up ladies, it’s not all about you. Some of us have different tastes.
Lucifer – the basic meaning of the word is “to shine”. And yes the show is shiny!
I personally enjoyed Lucifer very much and as much as it shows him to be a charming ladies man using his powers to skirt the law, I don’t believe it glorifies the devil too much as it makes very clear that much of what is does is morally wrong.
Furthermore I enjoyed the theological arguments raised by the show as to his inherit evilness.
In regard to ‘One Million Moms’, they call it spiritually dangerous but if they are as steadfast in their beliefs as they claim to be then there shoudn’t be any danger to them.
GREAT NEW SHOW! Please don’t listen to the fringe element known as One Million Moms. They are not the majority, and the majority LOVES this show!!!!
The “religious” mommies just need to turn off the TV and have a Bible Hour with their kiddies during the Lucifer time slot. The rest of us can happily “go to Hell” watching a divinely roguish bit of entertainment. 🙂
I love this show! This could be one show that I will be sure not to miss. Please don’t cancel! People that haven’t seen the show should not be demanding the show go away.
It’s a terrific show. I love it. Please don’t cancelled
Any show denounced by “One Million Moms” has got to be great. Count me in. I loved this pilot.
You people who like this need to give your head a shake. The name alone is the most vile name in the world. We can account for all our suffering due to lucifer. Im sure you will find out soon enough.
It’s a terrific show. Come on America, get a sense of humor!
Love it. Absolutely nothing wrong with the series. Its simple, if you don’t like it don’t watch it. I Hope it does not get cancelled!
It’s not like they are making them watch the show, they can easily change the channel and move on with their lives. It’s not a reason to cancel a show just for a select group of people.
