I actually worked on the first 'season' of bible man, ask me anything.


I was there, I lived through it, I breathed it and ran as fast as I could away from it. You want the dirt? just ask me.

reply

Um, what do you mean by first season? What was the last one you worked on?

reply

I worked on the very first episode and some reshoots for some follow up episodes. I have no idea what the title was but I worked with willie ames. But since I never watched the show, it may have only been the pilot. It was, to say the least, a very odd experience.

reply

Man, Bibleman is on right now. I love this s**t! Too funny. THe comedy is too much.

So any crazy stories from the set? I cant believe someone takes this seriously.

They fight with bible verses and lightsabers!

reply

Yeah, how serious was everyone about this? Did they think it was a big joke, or did they honestly think they were going to save the world with Willie Aames in tights?

reply

There were 3 very different groups of people working on the show. 1) the full bore xtaiins, that wanted to quote passages from the bible for bible man and to take everything in the very seriously. 2) the ones that were serious on the outside and very greedy/stutus climbing on the inside and finally 3) the group that just wanted a paycheck and go home. (I was in that one.)

I got the job as a cameraman for B camera. I was digging it because it was the first use of a new type of technololy being promoted by sony. So I could care less was the subject matter was. It could have been live mutilations for all I cared. I just wanted to get my hands on that camera.

An associate of mine was producing and directing it. He was all excited to get Willie as the star. frankly, it wasn't really all that tough considering Willie hadn't done anything for a while except 28 days. catch my drift. And since that time, Willie became a major member of the God squad. Think catagory #2.

Personally I'd be honored and glad to have been on Bibleman!I would of kept a pure heart too. Who cares about the money? Money comes money goes. But everyone had the honor on making a christian show that was aimed at helping to get the word od God out to children.And people took advantage of God for a "Paycheck" Those people should be very ashamed of themselves.

If people are going to be very greedy and pretend to care then find a new line of dishonest work! I'm tired of seeing God beening tainted by mean people. We need more "Good shows" no matter if they are good or bad we still need them.....

reply

Having watched the show, it isn't like it had any kind of grasp on what the Christian doctrine was all about anyhow. So what if the ones behind it turned out to be greedy and dishonest, for the whole show was disingenuous from the getgo. Anybody serious about their Christian religion shouldn't want to have anything to do with this tripe anyhow, seeing as how it makes the whole thing laughable.

OK, so what's the speed of dark?

reply

Faith in God is a beautiful thing, but it can be used for all kinds of ugly, too.

reply

Faith is defined as believing in something for which there is no evidence. Please explain why that's a 'good' thing? If we all just make $hit up and the convince ourselves that it's real for no reason but because we tell ourselves that it is (such as worshiping an imaginary god), then 'reality' becomes totally meaningless. If reality is meaningless, then examination of the physical universe through quantifiable evidence is pointless as well.

Hey Heckler King –

Your label says it all: you are a heckler. You most likely pick on people you feel superior to or about issues that can't provide a quick come back that is smart-a** enough. You have no belief in God, nor can you understand what christians are all about. That's fine, but don't go chiding something you know nothing about. You couldn't beat yourself out of a wet paper bag when it comes to having an intelligent discussion about God. The bottom line is this - many of the brightest, most accomplished, wise and respected people who ever lived examined the claims of christianity and gave their lives to serve the Creator of all. Just thought I'd provide a little perspective for the readers...

Wow, dude, you need a little anger management there.

You call me a loser, yet you continually come back here voice your bizarre opinion to for no other reason than to see your odd ramblings posted. That's sad. That would constitute a loser by anyone definition.

Respond if you wish, but it only compounds my point. Have fun. :)

Congratulations on working with Bibleman and surviving! (But seriously, way to go.)

I'd like to know how many times each of the following happened on the series, or at least whether you think they would have been fun to see:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. After making his typical dramatic entrance at the mouth of the VOTH (Villain of the Hour)'s lair, Bibleman has to convince hordes of autograph-seekers and groupies and photographers and promoters that he's not a professional wrestler. Then a really stupid guy shouts, "Hey! Where's Tonto?"

2. Hell's Angels (yes, the biker dudes) gather around and smart off while Bibleman is fighting the VOTH.

3. The Schatzville Dry Cleaner accidentally switches the Full Armor of God with Disneyland's Mickey Mouse costume.

4. People call our hero "THE Bibleman," although, in his own words, "It's just 'Bibleman,' darn you!"

Answers or thoughts, anyone? Fire at will!

Sincerely,

I saw Willie Aims (Sorry I didnt spell that right I know) on VH1's celeb fit club completely having a mental breakdown! How was he to work with? It seems this was his baby, did he have complete creative control over everything? And is that a good thing or bad? I haven't seen the show myself, not my cup of tea, so I can't really comment on the material itself.

reply

Filmguy probably has his own answer, but I'm thinking a bad thing. Picking an episode at random ("Lead Us Not Into Temptation") off my shelf and making nothing but a cursory examination, Willie was an executive producer, regular producer, writer, director, and starring actor. With all that responsibility, he apparently didn't have time to spell-check anything. This leads to DVD chapter titles like "Ok What your teamwork," "Luxor's Dimise," and "Bye Bye-Your Gone" and an episode with a message that's just about impossible to pick out--you have to avoid any contact with non-Christian friends, not even a tiny bit of computer help over the phone, or they'll drag you into sin, yet the kid they teach this lesson has enough contact with an old friend to make him convert.

reply

Hey, you can't expect the bible to teach morality AND spelling. Have you read that thing? All those art's and thou's and smiting, that's not proper English. The storylines are crap too. I didn't learn a damn thing other than discovering God is a mentally unbalanced mass-murderer.

reply

Do you know what happened to all the kids on the first series? We have our guesses, but we want to know what really happened.

reply

What about the lightsabers, man? What's up with that? Don't they know George Lucas can sue them big bucks for that? Tell me please, I want to know.

reply

why? why in the *beep* did u work on this piece of *beep* show. It makes me want to watch the Bachlor.

reply

Congratulations. It isn't often in Hollywood that someone gets to work on a show they can have their whole family see. It was great with a timely message.

reply

It sure did. If you don't totally lick God's boots, a chubby over the hill actor will make you explode with a light saber. And people will call it wholesome family entertainment because there's a religious word in his name.
