Lentorama 2009: Great(?) Moments in Catholics on Television
November 23, 1997: Monsignor Martinez utters his first "Vaya con Dios."
Well before Ugly Betty made telenovelas sort of mainstream, the folks at King of the Hill mined them for comedy gold with the incidental appearance of Los Dias y Las Noches de Monsignor Martinez, whose title cleric has a penchant for violence, most of which is heard rather than seen.
Someone found these bits amusing, as Fox did consider a live-action spinoff for the 2001-02 season. How they passed on a sitcom about a murderous priest I'll never figure out, as it seems like it'd be right up their alley.
