God, The Devil and Bob
Newest Review: ... message from the Big Giant Head!', and finally God is played by oh erm, flippin eck, he's old and a famous actor anyway! Bob - married with two kids and living in Detroit, gets picked by the Devil as the man God must convince to save the world by doing certain redeeming acts (one per episode, see the plot now?!), and after the initial disbelief, sets about seemingly impossible tasks ... more  ...

Now this is decent entertainment at it's funiest. I guess it's a grown up cartoon - hence the late evening time (duh!), and as such offers a less frenetic view of things than say the Simpsons or Futurama (my other fave cartoons).

God and The Devil decide to put the worlds future into the hands of Bob a regular american guy who is, up un til now, a very shallow perosn who likes to wathcj the superbowls with a beer. Well this is all very well and funny - lets just hope it never happens!!!! ...
