Jim and Tammy Show
Despite the recent conviction of televangelist Jim Bakker on 24 counts of fraud and other charges, the networks apparently aren’t rushing to bring the sordid scandal to the small screen.
“God and Greed: The Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker Story,” which Finnegan-Pinchuk Prod. had in development at CBS for about a year--without the Bakkers’ blessings--is currently without a home. The network “informed us they were not going forward with the movie prior to the convictions,” exec producer Sheldon Pinchuk told us.
Meanwhile, “Fall From Grace,” which NBC put into development after optioning dramatic rights from the couple in 1987, is without a production date.
