It appears that it is aiming to be NBC's entree into Desperate Housewife territory and it will probably find an audience as the show evens out a bit. The plot seems to have as many romps/improbable situations, at any rate. They handled the gay son well in the small section I saw. I have high hopes that NBC will continue to support this show. I think it's important to showcase a tradition of faith that is inclusive and tolerant - not all Christians are fundamentalists or evangelicals. Although there were some odd quirks to how they presented the Episcopal Church, it certainly came across as a loving and supportive Christian organization.
