 Review | Nothing Sacred: A Journey Beyond Belief by T.F. Rigelhof
Nothing Sacred expands on an earlier work, A Blue Boy in a Black Dress, and discusses the fate of organized religion in the 21st century.
Nothing Sacred owes its existence to the stroke that Rigelhof suffered on January 27, 2003:
The upshot is Nothing Sacred, a book twice as long as A Blue Boy in a Black Dress, that retains only the parts, thoroughly re-edited, that time and circumstances have not altered...

 Bozell's Entertainment Column -- 11/26/1997 -- 'Nothing Sacred': Profile in Arrogance
Defenders of "Nothing Sacred" contend that its poor ratings result from its time slot opposite a powerhouse NBC lineup.
Indeed, ABC has dropped series whose ratings were decidedly better than those of "Nothing Sacred." Last year, the network dumped "Second Noah," (another non-star-driven drama in a tough time slot, airing opposite "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman").
In its November 17 issue, Electronic Media unveiled the results of its annual critics' poll, and "Nothing Sacred" was voted the sixth-best series, the highest finish of any fall debut.

 Bookreporter.com - NOTHING SACRED by Douglas Rushkoff
In NOTHING SACRED: The Truth About Judaism, Rushkoff takes the difficult stance that today's Judaism has strayed far from the principle themes and values that are actually the core of the tradition.
NOTHING SACRED is a thoughtful evaluation of Judaism and, despite its grand concepts, is easy to read.
With implications for Jewish individuals (issues of observance and spirituality), families (intermarriage and assimilation), and communities (communal rituals and the relationship with Israel), NOTHING SACRED is an important addition to Jewish literature and thought.

Nothing Sacred was by far the best and most sensitive drama I have ever seen about the realities and struggles of living with one's Catholicism.
"Nothing Sacred" may be gone, but its spirit lives on in Catholic parishes across the globe, among the many who sought and received reconciliation with their church as a result of this treasure of a short lived series, and among those of us who know that catholic means universal!
Nothing Sacred showed just how human the Catholic Church is, which may be why more conservative Catholics found it to be offensive.

 Bozell's Entertainment Column -- 04/01/1998 -- 'Nothing Sacred': The End
Programs that rated higher than "Nothing Sacred" were taken off the schedule, but to the public's amazement, "Nothing Sacred" was renewed for another thirteen episodes.
Their enthusiastic praise for "Nothing Sacred," juxtaposed with its anemic ratings, demonstrate not only that the concept of a "media elite" is valid, but also that the mantra "television only reflects reality" is sheer nonsense since those involved in the business of television have no idea what reality is. To wit:
Ultimately, "Nothing Sacred" is defunct because almost everyone in America had the good sense not to watch.

 Nothing Sacred (1937)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
"Nothing Sacred" refers not only to the values hypocrisy seeks to destroy, but to the sacred cows the film seeks to topple.
In "Nothing Sacred" there are no such distractions; it is the superior film.
Other joys of the film are the delightful vignettes, such as a dipsomaniacal country doctor's tirade against journalists (In vino veritas, indeed!) and the transparently phony patriotism at a strip club.

 Powell's Books - Nothing Sacred: The Truth about Judaism by Douglas Rushkoff
If the Jewish tradition is actually one of participation in the greater culture, a willingness to wrestle with sacred beliefs, and a refusal to submit blindly to icons that just don’t make sense to us, then the “lapsed” Jews may truly be our most promising members.
Nothing Sacred is a bold and brilliant book, attempting to do nothing less than tear down our often false preconceptions about Judaism and build in their place a religion made relevant for the future.
Nothing Sacred will spark a fierce debate with its assertions and recommendations, even if few would disagree with its motivating perception — that Judaism is today at a pivotal point in its 3,000-year history.

It wasn't the only chapter (or verse) in Nothing Sacred that I was happily forced to reread because I was laughing so loud, I couldn't hear myself.
Nothing Sacred is actually the sequel to Tom Flynn's scathingly brilliant Galactic Rapture, which eerily predicted reality television, and could well have been part of Mel Gibson's inspiration for The Passion of the Christ, although it's really unfair to blame Flynn for either travesty.
You don't have to read Galactic Rapture in order to thoroughly enjoy Nothing Sacred, but you're definitely going to want to get your hands on a copy soon as possible.

by Greg Friedman, O.F.M. ABC is debuting its new hour-long drama, Nothing Sacred, which tells the story of an inner-city Catholic parish, focusing on the life and ministry of Father Ray, the pastor, portrayed by actor Kevin Anderson.
If Nothing Sacred gets that chance, the creative people involved will do what so often happens in a T.V. series: They will fine-tune the characters, stories, settings—honing more realistic portrayals and better stories.
Despite its dramatic and technical flaws, Nothing Sacred is the first honest and dramatically pleasing portrayal of real Catholic life to appear on network TV.
