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.
Get a grip! The show is hysterical! If these mothers think a tv show is capable of “turning” their kids into devil-worshipers, then they need to alter their parenting skills…not prime time TV! Especially not MY TV choices!! Parental controls were invented for over-bearing parents like these morons. Live-and-let-live!
I think they are over reacting
It’s OK for the kardashians and those trashy housewife shows to be on TV?
Chill out just don’t let your kid watch it
The show is funny. I liked it.
I think these one million moms are over reacting. The show is funny and fun to watch. They need to lighten up.
First of all the show was not created to be sacrilegious, it’s based off of a DC comic series; it’s fiction. Secondly, if you can allow yourself and your children to be swayed because of a television series then clearly it is not the network that is the problem it’s your own faith and something that you should work out on your own and not blame a form of free speech. Another thing that “one million mom’s” should think about, if you don’t like the message don’t watch the show, no ones forcing you; use your free will. I almost… Read more »
Lucifer is an awesome show and so you shouldn’t cancel it just because some mums want you to and plus we’re only on the first frikin season.
This show is so amusing so PLZ don’t cancel it, it’s me favourite!!
Ridiculous. I’m the mother of three. I’m spiritual, charitable, kind, I pray daily, etc. I find the show amusing. Why? Because I know it’s entertainment!!! If people’s morals can be swayed by a TV show, then they have a much larger problem they should be focused on. It starts at home. If you don’t like the show, don’t watch it. Your inability to control yourself should not influence entertainment available to me and others. One Million Moms, you also wanted to get The Muppets removed? Seriously? This is part of the problem with society. Try using the time you dedicate… Read more »
The Muppets show was *Destroyed* this time around by adding trashiness to it to appeal to the lowest common denominator element of society. It is inherently marketed to children and SOMEone has to look out for the children that so many are ready to throw under the bus in the name of profit and entertainment.
I know where they are coming from but yes I watch it
I enjoy the show and it’s only spiritually dangerous if you are not serious in your own faith, it can lead you astray as long as you it’s not real everything should be fine.
I thought it was clever and well acted. I’m watching them all.
I thought it was pretty clever and well acted.
I am shocked, SHOCKED that there are scantly clad females on TV
/sarcasm off
I guess that they should cancel 1/2 the shows on TV (Grimm, Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, etc) that appeal to the younger crowd of viewers that want to see random acts of violence and naked bodies (with guns).
There will always be haters.
LOVED IT!!
Lucifer is the funniest best show that is on television today. It would be stuiped to cancel because people don’t like it. My answer is don’t watch it if you don’t like it
