Notice the FRC only got a one line last sentence mention in the article. They (along with other "family" organizations) had a huge drive to complain about this show and threaten ABC advertisers with boycotts. This organization is the same one who says 2257 is a another "tool" they can use to "get rid of pornography".
If you're not familiar with the FRC I posted numerous links to info about them and their activities in this thread:

2005-MAY-31: USA: Hollywood & ABC TV criticized for portrayal of Christians: Citizen Link, a service of the Fundamentalist Christian group Focus on the Family has criticized ABC's "Welcome to the Neighborhood" program -- a summer reality show which features seven families bidding to buy a new house in a suburban cul-de-sac. The neighbors select the winning family. Ted Baehr of Movie Guide wrote that the Christian contestants will be the ones people love to hate. He wrote: "ABC is really making a tremendous mistake in terms of audience. The audience out there wants positive portrayals." Pat Trueman of the Family Research Council criticized Hollywood movies for their portrayal of Christian characters. He said: "Anyone who is portrayed as a minister of the Gospel is treated as someone who is backward, a redneck, prejudiced, uncouth." Don Feder, president of Jews Against Anti-Christian Defamation, said "Christians, especially evangelical Christians are being attacked because they're standing up for the right values." Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association suggests that religious conservatives complain to the advertisers of TV programs. He said: "Find out who the advertisers are and contact the advertisers. That's the best way to impact a television program or series." However he cautions conservatives to be careful that when contacting ABC or the shows' sponsors that they don't become the stereotype that they are protesting.
