In TV terms theres a lot of political drama (Rome even gets involved), an underdog story of Jewish rebels throwing out the Seleucid empire, the institution of Hanukkah, and Judas Maccabeus and sons which gives you a hero(s) . So it would make for good TV just like the history sections of the Bible which this series will no doubt focus on.
Ultimately though what makes it in is down to the religious persuasions (or lack therof) of the higher ups at the History channel.

The Prayer of Azariah, The Song of the Three Holy Children, Susanna and the Elders, and Bel and the Dragon make much more sense when read in their proper (in my mind) places in Daniel. Tobit is probably my favorite and most read book after John's Gospel.
Also I forgot to mention that 3 Maccabees (included in the Orthodox canon, but excluded from the Catholic canon) isn't actualy about the Maccabees. It's basically a treatise on wisdom (kind of like the Wisdom of Solomon).

Thanks! In my study Bible The Song of the Three Holy Children is called The Song of the Three Jews. I'll try to read the rest in their proper order. It's interesting that you enjoyed Tobit so much. I enjoyed the beginning and the end and a little in the middle but for the most part I found the middle to be tedious. I wonder why?

Oh and Esther has six additional chapters. Which are either placed at the end of Esther (Vulgate order) or interspersed throughout (Septuagint order).
Honestly I would just pick up a cheap copy of The Jerusalem Bible (the translation used by the Catholic Church in Australia), or a copy of the NRSV-CE to read the additions in their proper place.
You could also consider the New American Bible (used by the Catholic Church in the US), but I figure it'd be weird for an Australian to have a Bible with the word "American" in it.

I'm glad you're not the only one to realise this truth.
Thanks for your help. My study Bible is the Harper Collins NRSV but with the Apocryphal books included. I've no problem with flipping back and forth to read the books in their correct order (which it lists in the introduction).

I even met a baptist woman once that had an NAB published by Oxford, but she was convinced she had an NASB.
How is the Harper Collins study Bible by the way? I have a New Oxford Annotated Bible (RSV with Apocrypha), but It's getting to the point where I need to replace it.

I dislike them too because they push homo movies. That's why I ONLY use them for their free movies and ONLY the old Samurai movies, political movies that are appropriate, orthodox Christian movies, or rare movie that's OK to watch. I give them zero money.
Anyways, this Lee Strobel movie was good. Maybe it's on Youtube. I didn't check.

Yes it is and I live in S. Korea at the moment. I can still watch Hulu movies through Hotspot Shield (Download Free VPN for iPhone, Mac and Windows to Access Blocked Sites & Surf Anonymously) Through their software which is easy and free to download you can watch Hulu anywhere.

i saw the first episode tonight and i thought it was very good...
other than some nitpicking that i have to do because i majored in history...my only complaint is that there were a few gratuitous sword fights that are not in the bible...
overall the bible and faith in God were represented very positively and pretty accurately...
