A slightly more considered answer is that the Bible stories are in themselves such wonderful, archetypal narratives:

Sneaky younger brother cheats older brother out of his inheritance and runs off to mother's family. Later returns and approaches older brother with extreme caution. Older brother has somehow lost urge to strangle him and they settle down peacefully because they're family, after all.

Older brothers get fed up with favored younger brother who's an unbearable little brat. Brat learns through adversity, prospers and is later reconciled to brothers and reunited with doting father.

Young man in polygamous culture marries two sisters. Women seem to lack family feeling of above brothers and engage in hair-pulling rivalry. Younger wife rails at husband because she hasn't succeeded in getting pregnant. Husband somewhat heatedly responds that he's been doing everything he possibly can to help her out.

(Wicked) Stepmother induces husband to repudiate older child by another woman so that her son can inherit. Older child's mother perseveres through trials that would kill a lesser woman and goes on to found, with her son, a new dynasty and people.

As my students used to exclaim when I did the background lectures on Shakespeare's plays, "Ma'am, it's just like a novela! (soap opera).

Stories for the ages that still apply.

I was curious if that were true, but not interested enough to tune in, to be honest!

I also heard the rumor about the Obama resemblance.

Not sure what he said (don't remember) but it was funny at the time!

Maybe that he should have looked like Dumbya or Cheney...?

Much older, for sure.

What's with the damn hoodie, I wonder?

I gotta say, I am not smelling sulphur, but I do detect a whiff of racism in that casting and costuming choice...and maybe just a little bit of GOP bias, too!

Well, a segment of the world likes to call USA the Great Shatan, so what the hell, (pun intended) I guess! I still won't be finding time to tune in, I don't think.

Thanks for taking the time to provide me with the visual--it's certainly helpful to know what people are talking about~!
