Talk:God, the Devil and Bob

Airings
As I recall, when the show first premiered, a number of Fox's southern affiliates refused to air the program, meaning it never aired in those markets. 98.221.120.84 (talk) 06:18, 25 January 2011 (UTC)


 * What source says the show was "cancelled due to pressure from Christian groups"?

Just wondering as the IMDB triva page at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0221751/trivia says it was cancelled due to low ratings.
 * The IMDB is notorious for incorrect content. However thats not to say it isnt right and id like to see some kind of official source that says it was cancelled and why. --Mercifull 14:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The BBC says that it was pulled after just four episodes but doesnt say if it was low ratings or pressure from religious nuts. --Mercifull 14:48, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I remember when this was aired on the BBC, and there was a fair bit of talk about how it had upset a lot of people in the US. Not sure how TV networks operate in the US, but wouldn't they have just moved the show to a different timeslot if it had low ratings?  I found this link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/special_report/1999/03/99/tom_brook/681071.stm which talks of a boycott. --Stuart 11th Oct 06
 * I think this is closer to what we are looking for http://www.guardian.co.uk/BBC/Story/0,,384780,00.html--Stuart 11th Oct 06
 * Those links are interesting. Though those don't appear to have the exact reason as to why it was canceled. Also I haven't heard of the IMDB being notorious for incorrect content before, I had always thought what they listed was correct. --Justin (Original Question Poster) 02:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

The DVD commentary says the religious nuts were mostly at fault, most of which never having seen the series —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.141.131.205 (talk) 06:35, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

The series was pre-empted by a lot of NBC affiliates at the time it originally aired in 2000 due to pressure from religious groups and local programmers who deemed it offensive. This, inherently, caused low ratings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.29.211.18 (talk) 06:11, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

typos and math error?
The Characters section says "Donna Allman...has recently returned to college after 14 years of parenting," but then calls Megan "Bob and Donna's 13-year-old daughter and eldest child." This might not be impossible if Donna had a child a year before Megan (but not with Bob, or if that child died), but i don't see anything in the article that says that.

The Characters section says "God...enjoys poptarts". Should that be spelled (and linked to) Pop-Tarts, or is it like using "coke" to refer to any soft drink, not just Coke?

Because the Devil is a specific character in this show, should the word Devil always use a capital D in this article?
