There’s some good news about the evangelical comedy “Family Camp” (Roadside): Predictably, it’s almost squeaky clean and thus appropriate for a wide range of age groups. But that’s, alas, where the glad tidings about this leaden production cease.

Billed as a continuation — not a reboot — the eponymous 10-episode limited-series drama “The Man Who Fell to Earth” premiered April 24, 10-11 p.m. on Showtime. It will continue in that time slot throughout its run, concluding July 3.
