God, the Devil and Bob is a short-lived animated television series that was broadcast on NBC in March 2000. It was created by Matthew Carlson.It is currently broadcasted on the Philippine channel Maxxx

Synopsis
The series was based on God (voiced by James Garner) and the Devil (voiced by Alan Cumming) making a bet over the fate of the world. God wants to wipe humanity off the face of the planet and start over, but he realizes that He's "not that kind of God." The devil gets to choose one person, and if that person does not prove they have made the world a better place, God will destroy the world. The devil chooses Bob Alman (voiced by French Stewart), a beer-drinking, porno-watching auto plant worker from the suburbs of Detroit who, when asked to save humanity from complete annihilation, asks "What's in it for me?" After saving humanity in the pilot episode, the series revolves around Bob being God's "Go-To Guy" whenever He gets a great idea to help out the world.

Controversy
God, the Devil and Bob was canceled in the United States after the first three episodes aired on NBC channel (although the entire season of 13 episodes was shown overseas), after channel executives received an alarming number of complaints about its potentially offensive religious material. Many people believe these people were acting too irrationally, as most of the episodes, although they take a laugh at some religious aspects, often have a moral storyline.

God (James Garner) is the laid-back, beer-drinking deity, who was somewhat based on Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead. Though He is distressed with the state of the world and is considering destroying it and starting over,even going so far as to design a new universe where marsupials replace humanity and humanity "is somewhere down the food chain". He wants to give humanity a sporting chance. Though He and the devil appear to have put much of their differences behind them, and are frequently seen socializing, God has a habit of constantly forgetting the devil's birthday. He often wears sunglasses and drinks light beer.

The Devil (Alan Cumming) is trying to persuade God to destroy the world, and is constantly trying to thwart Bob in his attempts to save it. He is a margarita drinker and drives a purple Dodge Charger described by Bob as the "coolest car [he's] ever seen". Despite appearances, the devil is needy and co-dependent, often reduced to tears when God ignores or forgets about him.

Bob Alman (French Stewart) is the pornography-watching, under-educated prophet/messenger of God. He is an auto plant worker from Detroit, and is a huge fan of the Red Wings. Despite his numerous failings, God has faith in him and Bob eventually pulls through. He clearly loves his family and goes to extreme lengths to keep them safe. As the series progresses, Bob appears to start to be on friendly terms with both God and the Devil, though the latter is still frequently antagonistic towards Bob.

Donna Alman (Laurie Metcalf) is Bob's wife who is constantly trying her best to be a good mother. She doesn't believe Bob's claims that he is working for God, and thinks he must be delusional. She has recently returned to college after fourteen years of parenting.

Megan Alman (Nancy Cartwright) is Bob and Donna's eldest child. She is thirteen, overly-rebellious, insistent, bad-tempered and unruly, yet still loves her family, very deep down.

Andy Alman (Kath Soucie) is Bob and Donna's six-year old son. He is a sweet and good-natured boy who looks up to his father. He is the only person that really believes Bob talks to God and the devil. At one point in the beginning of the show, he actually sees God.

Smeck (Jeff Doucette) is an imp-like demon, and is the devil's put-upon henchman apprentice. In spite of the abuse he suffers at the devil's hands, he remains loyal to his master. In episode seven, we learn the devil would fire him were it not for his union.
