Why in the world were the typical right-wing religious protesters knocking God, The Devil and Bob? I gave that a try on DVD over the weekend (hey, with a crack sitcom writing team behind it and the voices of James Garner and Alan Cumming it seemed worth a try). I didn’t like it, but it seems that the Christian right would absolutely love it. I suppose they might find God’s sunglasses or his interest in Julie Newmar to be heresy. But in terms of the preachy messages and sentiments of the show (it’s explicitly against all the usual big evils from strip clubs to the Warren Court), those are sermons that I think they’d strongly agree with.
Oh, there was one great thing about the show – the Devil’s sidekick, Smeck. But other than that, it was a rather lame series.
