Action Alert -- Comedy Central

Comedy Central is creating a new series for the 2010-2011 season entitled JC, (Jesus Christ).  The Christ character will be--let's just say--very worldly.

Here's the premise of the show (from the NYPost website):

The cable network has announced that it's developing a series called "JC" -- a half-hour animated show about a dude named Jesus "JC" Christ who wants to escape his dad's (aka God) considerable shadow to chill in New York as a regular guy.

Things have changed on earth over the last 2,000 years and JC quickly discovers that he's a fish (and possibly a few loaves of bread) out of water. He gets little sympathy from a "powerful but apathetic" God, who prefers playing video games to listening to junior blabbering about life in the city.
