The Book of Daniel
* Starring Aidan Quinn
* NBC, Fridays

Created by gay writer Jack Kenny (Titus), Daniel stars Aidan Quinn as Daniel Webster, an Episcopalian minister with both a weakness for prescription drugs and a family on the verge of a breakdown (The teenage daughter sells weed, while the wife swills martinis). There's a gay Republican son (Christian Campbell), who wears a lot of sweaters; he's the most blandly centered of the bunch.
