God, the Devil and Bob

Series Details & Credits

NBC | Release Date: March 9, 2000

Summary: God is disappointed in the world today. So many people are doing wrong, not using good judgment, and God is getting sick of it. God is just thinking of giving it all up. That is, unless he can find one person that can prove the world is worth saving, then he won't destroy it. God decides to let the Devil choose who that person should be.God is disappointed in the world today. So many people are doing wrong, not using good judgment, and God is getting sick of it. God is just thinking of giving it all up. That is, unless he can find one person that can prove the world is worth saving, then he won't destroy it. God decides to let the Devil choose who that person should be. The Devil picks Bob Alman, an autoworker who has a bit of an attitude, and is also pretty lazy. Out of fear, Bob agrees to help make the world a better place. Without any hints or suggestions from God, Bob is all on his own to prove that humanity deserves to be saved.

This series originally aired on NBC but was cancelled due to the content of the show, but it eventually aired in it's full season on the TRIO network in june of 2003.… Expand

Season 1 Review: Wickedly witty. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's a warm and fuzzy number, packed with witty ideas, sight gags and clever theological asides. A heavenly voice cast, and a hip, relaxed animation style certainly work in "God, the Devil and Bob's" favor. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This series is not only funny but actually seems to have something on its mind when it comes to religion and man's spirituality. [6 March 2000, p.1E]

Season 1 Review: God, the Devil and Bob is irreverent, but it's not offensive. It's just not as good or as funny as it should be. [9 March 2000]

Season 1 Review: Despite a distinguished voice cast, the new animated comedy is hurt by uneven and unsure writing. [9 March 2000]

Season 1 Review: Sure, it's irreverent. But is it funny? Sadly, when the question concerns "God, the Devil and Bob," the answer is not particularly. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The only blasphemy it commits is to the gods of comedy -- last week's premiere was nearly laugh-free. Read full review
