Whether or not it was NBC or if it is the show you are talking about, I remember a brouhaha about The Thorn Birds mini-series and its depiction of a priest.

It was called The Book of Daniel.
It was about an Episcopal priest that talked to Jesus. It was cancelled after four episodes. NBC bowed to a higher power. LOL

That's the one! I remember there were protests even before people had seen it and NBC had no intention of wavering. Until people continued protesting.

yeah, the network originally showed them out of order, not realising they were buggering up a series heavy on continuing plotlines. That, and not showing it every week,changing the transmission times etc really did the show harm.

They replay American Gothic frequently on Chiller. They do daily marathons of old horror or suspence series. I've seen a few I missed completely when they were on originally.
