I caught part of the Happy Days episode where Fonzie has a brush with death and wants to get baptized. I really should have Tivoed it, but I guess I wasn’t thinking. Not surprisingly, as with many religious oriented sitcoms, the episode itself barely dealt with God. And Fonzie had water poured on him, in lieu of immersion. They did baptize babies in the episode. And Richie sang in the choir.
The problem comes when TV show producers try to entertain us, rather than intrepret Bible doctrine. Since it is meant to entertain, it doesn’t matter (in the minds of the producers) whether or not the storyline is true to Biblical form.
And remember when Carol Brady sang in the choir?
