Die himmlische Joan
Thus, in the words of Amber Tamblyn, "Joan of Arcadia" is "not religious, we're philosophical". Neuhaus deduces that this portrayal of God was in part motivated by the fact that "Joan of Arcadia" is a television show, a product, that has to appeal to a broad a range of viewers. Thus God, as portrayed in the show, does not call for proselytisation. Similarly, the portrayal of God is prepared to poke fun at Christian doctrine. Further, "Joan of Arcadia"s God spurns the supernatural.
