Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry is touting his next ABC pilot, Hallelujah, as "Glee for conservative Republicans," reports TV Guide.
Cherry describes the one-hour pilot as "a cross between Touched by an Angel and Dallas" and says there will be a "generous helping of gospel music."
"I've spent the last few years being incredibly grateful and kind of amazed by the things that have happened to me," Cherry says. He acknowledges that he drew inspiration for Hallelujah from the 1947 holiday classic The Bishop's Wife, in which an angel played by Cary Grant visits a clergyman's family. "It got me thinking a lot about having faith and a plan larger than your own and writing something that addressed that. Something totally different from Desperate Housewives."
But Cherry says fans of Housewives won't be disappointed. He promises to deliver characters with "delicious, juicy, dark secrets" involved in battles between good and evil.
