Season 1 Review:
Not everything works, but this is a bright, imaginative show that perhaps God will smile upon. Jerry Garcia, too. [5 March 2000]

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:
Animation continues to be television’s most promising venue for cutting-edge comedy. More evidence comes in NBC’s funny God, the Devil and Bob, which finds a Detroit auto worker at the center of a tug of war between the Almighty and the Prince of Darkness...It’s Cumming’s magnificently snotty Devil who steals the show.

Season 1 Review:
Stewart and Cumming (who endows the Devil with an amusingly high-toned
English accent) turn in vocal performances that are all the funnier
for being more restrained than some of their recent work. As for
Garner, well, he's somewhat of an American treasure. You might
even say he's divine. [9 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
Its cleverness may be a little too nuanced and low-key for mainstream audiences - the show probably belongs on a cable network, where it would be a programming highlight - instead of a broadcaster like NBC. But it's good fun to see our deity and demon bicker over minutiae while Bob looks on without comprehension. [9 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
Considering what's at stake, the show could use more edge. It settles instead for sweetness. [9 March 2000, p.E1]

Season 1 Review:
A terrific vehicle for commenting on the state of the world? It should be. God, the Devil and Bob, however, is rarely as funny or as insightful as it should be. [9 March 2000, p.4E]

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:
The mirth is lower key, often generating smiles rather than laughs. [9 March 2000, p.1G]

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:
The problem with NBC's new animated comedy series, "God, the Devil and Bob," isn't that it's too irreverent, or not irreverent enough. Despite its rich premise and wonderful cast, the problem with TV's newest prime-time cartoon is that it just isn't funny enough. [7 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
May be remembered as the dullest example of irreverence since Sister Maurice jabbed me in the nose during my altar-boy days and I bled like an "ER" goner all over my white surplice. [9 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
Based on a thin concept that has God and the Devil competing for the soul of a Detroit auto worker over and over again, it doesn't have enough fresh wit to rise above its good-vs.-evil redundancies. [9 March 2000]

Season 1 Review:
One fact is unassailable, however. This animated variation on the Faust legend isn't very funny. [9 March 2000, p.37]
