Living Biblically [new] (9:30 pm, CBS)

Chip Curry (Jay R. Ferguson) is a modern-day man at a crossroads in his
life who decides to live strictly in accordance with the Bible. Formerly
known as By the Book, this multi-camera sitcom also stars Lindsey Kraft,
Ian Gomez, David Krumholtz, Tony Rock and Camryn Manheim and is adapted
from Esquire editor A.J. Jacobs's book The Year of Living Biblically:
One Man’s Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as Literally as Possible.

A film critic for a New York newspaper and a soon-to-be father, Chip
wants to be a better man following the loss of his best friend. He
decides to put his slightly obsessive temperament to use and start
living his life 100% by the Bible to find direction. His smart, pregnant
wife, Leslie, while both skeptical and entertained by her husband's new
passion, supports him completely. Knowing he'll need some practical
advice, Chip forms a "God Squad" with Father Gene, a Catholic priest who
helps Chip translate the rules of the Bible to a modern world, and
Father Gene's best friend, easygoing Rabbi Gil Ableman, who respects
Chip's chutzpah and is glad to serve as a sounding board when they meet
at their local bar. At Chip's newspaper, he finds support from his
no-nonsense boss, Ms. Meadows, who knows Chip's self-penned story will
sell newspapers, and his co-worker and friend, Vince, who is quick with
a reality check and likes to wind Chip up for his own amusement. As he
begins his sincere spiritual journey toward a more moral life with the
help of his wife and friends, Chip wonders if he'll be able to take a
page - or every page - out of the Good Book, and if the effect will be
of biblical proportions.

I watched almost 3 minutes of the sneak peak before I turned it off in
horror and revulsion. An incredibly incompetently made project. Wild
clashing of inappropriate styles. Just awful.

Whom the gods destroy, they first turn into sitcoms. Thus with science
