...The articles are about how the Christians are protesting against the show, not about how the show is run for them. Nor is there a mention of the show toning it down for them. The second season was even gayer than the first (right down to the younger son's apparent crush on Blake Shelton).

A number of people here said DJ was toned down because of backlash. 

Yeah, they're speculating, and having watched Season 2 I disagree, I don't see any difference from how they re-framed DJ as the "new Danny" from the beginning of the new show.

 

If anything the show has only gotten racier in content, and even more gay-friendly in the second season. And nothing in those articles proves that point or indicates the show is catering to hatemongers.

This show is...the least hateful thing on TV. Have you watched it, Carl? You'd be surprised by how little Cameron Bure's politics effect the show. They've implied that DJ and her boyfriend are having *gasp* pre-martial sex. The show has a lot of innuendo and double-entendres, it's not a "Christian" comedy at all. This isn't 7th Heaven with a laugh track.

I never said it was hateful. I said the people that were protesting were hatemongers (as CCB is herself), and people here said the show was pandering to them.

Well their perception are the show is wildly out of whack with what's on the screen. There was no pandering to any group. It's weird the different things people pull from the same show.

And D.J. made friends with Lachlan Buchanan's gay guy at that Irish wedding! Not to mention that the constant homoerotic stuff with her, Kimmy, Stephanie and the guys - and the freewheeling love triangle she has with both Matt and Steve, or DJ drinking and/or clubbing - is way beyond what Kirk Cameron would approve of.

Midway through season 1 and the episodes keep getting better and funnier.

Idle thought: I think they're hedging their bets/playing the long game on the whole Matt/D.J./Steve triangle, judging by the end of Season 2 which leaves it somewhat ambiguous. Jeff Franklin says here that he likes John Brotherton and CCB together, and I do too - I think the whole Matt thing took off bigger than the spoiler he was probably originally intended as because they liked JB and he had great chemistry with Bure. But I don't think they're done with that quadrangle. I think they're going to end up with Steve and D.J. in the long run.

 

Steve was much more tolerable in S2 now that he isn't a gross stalker, and he and D.J. were a lot more fun than before. But I'm still Team Matt, so I hope I'm wrong. He is still a regular.

Steve and DJ are 100% end game, IMO. I grew to really like Matt and DJ together so either couple works for me, but it's clear Steve and DJ are endgame. The hardcore fans don't seem to love Franklin's toying but to lose Matt to pair DJ and Steve doesn't make sense right now.

I did find it creepy that Steve went and found himself a DJ clone

Personally I don't see much chemistry with DJ and Matt at all. Matt is just annoying. Nah I think it's more they want to pimp their pet Matt/JB and nothing more. No other reason they wrote Steve the way they did.

I've only seen one episode that features Matt and he is funny but not sure about his pairing with DJ. Fernando is the one that is stealing the show for me. Steve has only been in one episode so far that I have seen in season 1.

Their pet? What? This isn't a soap opera...
