DVD Reviews of God, the Devil and Bob - The Complete Series
DVD Review: good tv show
Summary: 5 Stars
What can i say I remember watching it in my teen years. Im am trying to get everything that Ive watched on dvd this was one of them. I started watching that night It was verryyy funny.DVD Review: COOL!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think the title of my review describes it well. It's unfortunate that there were only 13 episodes created. This animated series is a very novel way of presenting an old theme. It's cute, funny, sometimes spiritually inspiring, but mainly, purely entertaining. The humor leans more towards the sophisticated, rather than the 'random (and too often disgusting) humor' that prevails the comedy world of our day. One of the nice things... there aren't many potty jokes. Bravo!DVD Review: great dvd

Summary: 5 Stars
From creator Matthew Carlson comes this divine NBC primetime animated series. A short-lived series, to be sure, but "God, The Devil and Bob" was a well-written, keenly animated series, nonetheless, featuring the voice talents of James Garner ("The Rockford Files") as God, Alan Cumming ("X2: X-Men United") as The Devil, French Stewart ("3rd Rock From the Sun") as our "savior" Bob Allman, Laurie Metcalf ("Roseanne") as his wife Donna and Nancy Cartwright ("The Simpsons") as kids Megan and Andy.
Fans of the show will be pleased with this two-disc collector's edition, which comes with great extras. Chief among them is "Let There Be God, The Devil and Bob!" Making of God, The Devil and Bob featurette (23:00). Here the creators discuss everything you'd want to know about the show, from the pitch to NBC, the production schedule, how the voices were cast, to their final thoughts about the show's cancellation. Very informative and insightful, as are the audio commentaries on select episodes.
"God, The Devil and Bob Revealed" Character Interview featurette (4:00) is a humorous Q&A with the title characters. The menu is nicely designed with all 13 episodes set up with a sub-menu screen for smooth, problem-free navigation. First-rate treatment all around for this DVD collection.

DVD Review: in a nutshell
Summary: 5 Stars
My first and favourite series.
Have never been a fan of any series, but this one is hilarious, a really great plot with funny details and good humour.
Not just simply very stupid, like South Park, etc... but a bit more sophisticated.
These guys really have some humour.
Description of God, the Devil and Bob - The Complete Series
Frankly God expected more from humanity, and his patience is wearing a little thin. The Devil, on the other hand, is simply delighted. Together they have a plan: one man will be given a chance to prove whether or not mankind is worth saving. But there's just one catch... The Devil gets to pick him. Enter Bob - An ill-tempered, melodramatic, paranoid icon of mediocrity. Caught between the forces of divinity and deviance, with the weight of the world on his shoulders, there's nothing left to do but laugh.South Park aside, the eternal struggle between good and evil may be too heady a subject for a primetime animated series, but God, The Devil and Bob certainly gave it a run for its money, and did so with irreverent humor. Unfortunately, the laughs didn't translate for some sections of the country, and complaints from affiliates caused NBC to pull the show after just four episodes; viewers that missed G/D/B during its initial run in 2000 can now explore the entire series on this two-disc set. The premise (courtesy of creator Matthew Carlson of Malcolm in the Middle) has God (voiced by James Garner) striking a wager with the Devil (Alan Cumming): if just one person can convince him that the world is worth saving, he'll spare humanity from destruction. The Devil is allowed to choose the candidate, and true to form, he picks the least likely person to determine the fate of the world--self-centered, slow-witted autoworker Bob Alman (French Stewart from 3rd Rock from the Sun). Reluctantly, Bob accepts God's challenge, and tackles Hollywood ("There's Too Much Sex on TV"), free speech ("Bob Gets Involved"), adultery, and even the Almighty's love life ("God's Girlfriend"), while trying to avoid the temptations of Satan.
Though often clever and well-voiced by its all-star cast (which included Laurie Metcalf from Roseanne and The Simpsons' Nancy Cartwright as Bob's wife and daughter, respectively), it's difficult to say if G/D/B might've survived its initial season, had it been allowed to show all 13 episodes; the scripts are often as glib as they are provocative, and lack the overall quality of similarly "grown-up" cartoons as South Park and Family Guy. At final glance, G/D/B is an interesting failed experiment for animation fans. The two-disc set includes commentary on five episodes by Carlson and executive producers Harvey Myman, Neil Thompson, and Gary Murphy; digital storyboards and a 20-minute making-of documentary are also featured in the extras. --Paul Gaita
