Guide: God, The Devil And Bob
This animated
half-hour comedy features a stellar cast that includes the voices
of Emmy Award winner James Garner (The Rockford Files) as
God, Tony Award winner Alan Cumming ("Cabaret") as the Devil, and
French Stewart (3rd Rock from the Sun) as Bob.
In addition,
Emmy Award winner Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne) plays Bob's wife,
Donna; Emmy Award winner Nancy Cartwright (Bart Simpson on The
Simpsons) voices the role of Bob's rebellious teenage daughter,
Megan; and Kath Soucie ("Rugrats, the Movie") provides the voice
of Bob's lovable six-year-old son, Andy.
God, the
Devil and Bob focuses on the modern-day problems of an ordinary
32-year-old Detroit auto worker, Bob Alman, who has been hand-picked
by the Devil, in a deal with God, to prove that mankind is worth
saving. Thus, as Bob copes with the daily stress of work and family,
he must also wage a constant battle between good and evil.
To complicate
matters, only Bob and his young son, Andy, can actually see God
and the Devil, so none of his family or friends believe that he
is now a "messenger of God." This simple premise leads to numerous
conflicts for Bob, who also happens to be riddled with human flaws.
Bob likes
to drink, party and visit strip clubs with his buddies at the auto
plant, including his best friend, Mike (Chi McBride, The John
Larroquette Show). In
addition, he has a weakness for big-screen TV, the Detroit Red Wings
and Red Shoe Diaries.
To make matters
worse, he is easily influenced by the Devil and his faithful henchman,
Smeck (Jeff Doucette, Weird Science), who appear to Bob at
the most inopportune moments and in a variety of guises designed
to lure Bob into temptation.
Meanwhile, as
Bob tries to adjust to his new role as mankind's savior, his wife,
Donna, must juggle her family responsibilities while trying to further
her education. And his 13-year-old daughter, Megan, teetering unsteadily
between child- and adulthood, is not particularly pleased to have
a prophet for a father.
