There’s three or four of them I’m unfamiliar with, and I’m surprised TD Jakes didn’t make the list.  And where the heck is Benny Hinn?!?!?!   😉

It will be interesting to see what this list will look like in the next decade.

Too bad Dale Patterson didn’t make the list, people just don’t know what they are missing out on.

Smoke Monster From ‘Lost’ Given Own Primetime Spin-Off Series

BURBANK, CA—Executives at ABC announced Monday that the network will premier a new Lost spin-off series this fall based around that show’s popular smoke monster character.

The new series, a half-hour family-oriented comedy called Where There’s Smoke, is touted by ABC as the new anchor of its Thursday-night lineup.

“Somewhere between the smoke monster’s first appearance on Lost— when it was depicted as a strange unseen force uprooting trees—and that episode in season three where it grabbed Mr. Eko and smashed him against the ground until he was dead, this character became the breakout star of the show,” said Stephen McPherson, president of ABC Entertainment. “And that’s exactly why we’re so excited about Where There’s Smoke. We get to see the monster’s light comedic side in a show about life, love, and good friends having good times.”

“Because after all, Where There’s Smoke, there’s laughter,” McPherson added.
