Religious Freedom on NBC!
Last night, NBC had some great premieres with My name is Earl and The Office, and religious tradition was a theme in both episodes! Interesting!
In Earl, Joy wanted to make Earl a glass mosaic of his face as a gift to him (since he is serving her prison sentence), so she broke a Lutheran stain glass window. The joke was that Joy had to lay low because the Lutherans were very serious about this vandalism. Also, during visitations, Crabman presented Earl with both a Bible and Torah, greeting him with a “Shalom.”
In The Office premiere, after a tragedy involving Michael, Meredith, his car and her pelvis, Michael wanted everyone to open up about their religious beliefs, much to the chagrin of HR rep, Toby. Ryan, would you allow a conversation about religions at the WFM?
Back to The Office: Stanley is Roman Catholic, Daryl and Pam are Presbyterian, Creed has been in several religious cults (leading and participating), and Kelly is not sure who Buddha is. Also, the IT guy is maybe ... Sunni? We could not understand him. Comment if you did.
Also, Angela’s super conservative feelings came out when she exclaimed that Sprinkles would not go to heaven because she was euthanized.
Editor’s note: You know how Angela can do that really prissy, rigid, religious character so well? That’s because she is a Baylor alum! She has met a few of these people. Ha!
Religion was a major theme on last night's NBC premieres!

The IT guy was a Sikh. The turban and the silver bracelet are two good visual indicators for that faith.
And the Office was so hilarious! I loved the whole thing :)
Thank you, Julia!
