Synopsis

God strikes a wager with the Devil: if just one person can convince him that the world is worth saving, he'll spare humanity from destruction, if not, God will scrap all of creation and start over. 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 Detroit autoworker Bob Alman, an icon of mediocrity. Reluctantly, Bob accepts God's challenge, and has to live a decent life with no hints from God and constant temptation from the Devil. 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.

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
thebowlmaster OK first i am matthew carlson's son. the episodes don't end in sappy pro-religion, instead they promote family values. second, you're wrong. the reason the show was canceled is because of the Christian rights protesters. That's the real reason. if i cared enough i could show you the legal document that proves it. so just because you are to narrow-minded to enjoy a show that everyone else seems to enjoy (based on the posts) doesn't mean you should assume things you don't know. GDAB is a great show. of course i have a bias, but from what i've heard many people agree. the characters are not shallow. they go through tons of emotional turmoil. and it's funny ;-0
curtains This is a wonderful concept and to be honest whose interest couldn't be picked by such a cracking title as "God the Devil and Bob." Sadly, the most remarkable thing about this programme is the utter sense of disappointment and anticlimax it inspires.There are a number of glimmering gems of ideas buried in this programme but so deeply disguised and poorly done that you can't help feel it was a disaster they tried to do them at all. It would have been better if they'd just left it for someone else to do well.Some of the dialogue itself seems good but is so poorly delivered and with such bad timing they don't even register as amusing. There's not even one point in the whole thing that really cracks a genuine smile. The characters are flat, the music annoying the sentiment painful.The only vaguely redeeming feature of this programme is Alan Cumming as the Devil. His vulnerable, do-you-really-love-me tone of voice during some of his conversations with God is wonderful.I expected this to be the snappy, quirky, satirical programme it looked to be. If you are expecting the same thing save yourself the disappointment and don't watch. Sad to say, it's really not worth it.
juella90 I really enjoyed this show, and its a shame the damn crazy bible thumpers got their way. I'm not saying there's no God, but do you really think he would want to hang out with those self-righteous troublemakers? HELL NO! Okay, rant over. I know this is not the place for that, but I had to say it... Anyway, yeah, great light-hearted show. It was a lot of fun and I'm sorry it got cancelled. The acting is pretty good, it had good writers. Damn, 10 lines is a lot. I mean, how much can you say about a show that got cancelled 5 minutes after it came out? Yep, great show. If you find it on DVD then get it.
AuroraMystic I watched all 13 episodes of this wonderful show, and I'm really suprised that it got canceled. God, the devil, and bob didn't get the ratings or publicity it should have. I think NBC had a lot to do with it, there weren't people looking for shows like this in the "must see TV" line-up. I can see this show doing wonderfully in a time slot on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. I'm the only person that I know as of yet who has seen or heard of this show. Truely sad.
