we're gonna get the names of the damn commandments right.


I love the show but that was actually one of the weakest moments in the show.

A minister would clearly know the commandments. It was silly to think he wouldn't.

I still love that scene but it always grates me a bit that Sorkin would think a minister wouldn't know the commandments.

Wasn't just the writing. Superb acting by just about everyone and someone had a great knack for matching the perfect songs to the scenes.

The streets of Heaven indeed.

Wasn't it Mary Marsh who didn't know the commandments? She was a hack. But, they showed respect for Al Caldwell, who was the Jerry Falwell character. They were frustrated with him because he tolerated Mary Marsh and her extremism.
