April 2016 – Angel From Hell, a series from CBS, lasted only five episodes before it was cancelled. The irreverent sitcom featured a character named Allison and a drunken woman who claimed to be Allison’s guardian angel.

“One Million Moms spoke out loud and clear on this spiritually dangerous program, and the show couldn’t get and hold advertisers,” said 1MM director Monica Cole. For example, 1MM contacted Capital One, and the company withdrew its ad support following a deluge of contacts from concerned moms.

1MM has also been contacting advertisers on Younger, a TV Land sitcom of which Cole said, “It is almost impossible to describe the depth of depravity found in Younger.” The sitcom includes pixelated nudity, drug and alcohol abuse, and graphic bedroom scenes. At press time, Red Lobster restaurants had responded to 1MM and pulled its ads from Younger.
