Mormon character on the show "House"
Maybe this belongs in the entertainment forum but ...

It's a good thing to have a Mormon be part of the popular culture. And part of that happening is accepting that we are not going to get the GA-approved version.
I wonder if a main writer/producer were Mormon, and came up with this material, whether he would be excommunicated. It's sad that this question even exists in my mind. |

More annoying than anything a show's writers could conjure up is this inevitable whiny article about how the writers don't do their research, don't know much about Mormons etc... I expect to receive a grassroots email any day now telling me to boycott.

It is annoying Steel, and old, and I'm personally tired if it ... doesn't mean I am going to start or even participated in some grass roots email campaign to boycott. I watch very little tv to really care. |

OOOooooo, I love those emails. Because then I get to "reply all". One of my email replies about the gay marriage thing was a list of pro-gay positions Mitt Romney had taken, that went out to my entire extended family.

btw, could they have picked a more unlikely person? A single-father, black Mormon doctor. Does one even exist? The only thing more unlikely would be a female black Mormon doctor, followed by a female Mormon doctor.
