They note it is based on a best-selling book, but they are reluctant apparently to name the author!  |

That's great and all, but my cable package does not get NatGeo, so Kelsey Grammer needs to get back to doing more NETFLIX episodes of, "Boss." Go on… Now. |

I think the book is by Martin Dugard |

Didn't O'Reilly write that? |

The series should be titled "Killing" Jesus (please note the position of the quotation marks.) His would-be killers failed. |

Shouldn't this be in the Fantasy Media Message Board? |

Don't worry everyone! He gets back up after just three short days.

If the "Roman King of Judea" is an example of their accuracy and attention to detail, than this one can be safely missed. Rick |

From what I hear, they tried that once before and it didn't take. -Kle. |

Article in Wikipedia on the book (yes, by Martin Dugard, and also Bill O'Reilly.) link If the film is as much fun as the Grauniad review quoted… |

Kelsey Grammar is a pretty funny guy, but unless they include the Pythons, I'm not watching it. |
| Rebelyell2006 | 23 Feb 2015 4:11 p.m. PST |
I'd rather see the Benny Hill version… |
| bilsonius | 23 Feb 2015 10:01 p.m. PST |
"…unless they include the Pythons…" Do you mean the Offical Pythons, the Continuity Pythons, the Real Pythons, or the People's Pythons of Judaea??? |

<"…unless they include the Pythons…" Do you mean the Offical Pythons, the Continuity Pythons, the Real Pythons, or the People's Pythons of Judaea???> Sounds like something Steve Irwin would have been involved with. |
