American animated sitcom
"God, the Devil and Bob" – 2000 жылдың 9 наурызынан 28 наурызына дейін NBC телеарнасында көрсетілген америкалық анимациялық ситком. Тоғыз эпизод эфирге шығарудан қалды. Оны Мэтью Карлсон жасаған. Серияның толық жинағы 2005 жылдың 4 қаңтарында АҚШ-та 1-ші аймақтың DVD-де жарық көрді. Сериалдың қайталама көрсетілімі 2011 жылдың 1 қаңтарында Cartoon Network телеарнасының түнгі уақыттағы бауырлас желісі Adult Swim-де басталды, ал желі 2011 жылдың 8 қаңтарынан 26 наурызына дейін сериалдың қалған тоғыз эпизодын көрсетті. Барлығы он үш эпизод түсірілді, бірақ төмен рейтингі мен діни белсенділердің қысымы салдарынан, сыншылар мен көрермендердің оң пікірлеріне қарамастан, АҚШ-та тек төрт эпизод көрсетілді де серия тоқтатылды. Джеймс Гарнер өзінің естеліктерінде: "Біз осы бизнесті осылай тез тоқтатып қойғанымыз өкінішті, себебі мен Құдай рөлін ойнауды ұнатқанмын" деп жазды. Алайда, бұл шоу Ұлыбритания, Ирландия және Латын Америкасы (Бразилияны қоса алғанда) сияқты елдерде жақсы қабылданды, онда BBC Two, RTÉ және Fox телеарналары тиісінше сериалдың барлық эпизодарын көрсетті. Бұрын Филиппиннің Maxxx арнасында да көрсетілген.
God, the Devil and Bob is an American animated sitcom which aired on NBC from March 9 to March 28, 2000, leaving nine episodes unaired. It was created by Matthew Carlson. The entire series was released on Region 1 DVD in the United States on January 4, 2005. Reruns of the series began airing on Cartoon Network's late night sister time sharing network, Adult Swim, on January 1, 2011, with the network airing the nine remaining episodes of the series from January 8 to March 26, 2011. Thirteen episodes were made, but only four were broadcast in the United States before the series was canceled due to a combination of low ratings and pressure from religious activists, despite receiving mostly positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. James Garner wrote in his memoirs that "It's a shame we went out of business so soon because I loved playing God." The show, however, was well received in places such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Latin America (including Brazil), where BBC Two, RTÉ, and Fox, respectively, aired the entire series. It was once broadcast on the now defunct Philippine channel Maxxx.
Қысқаша мазмұны
Сериал Құдай (Джеймс Гарнер дауыстаған) мен Ібіліс (Алан Камминг дауыстаған) әлем тағдыры үшін тіл білісіп, бәс тігуге негізделген. Құдай адамзатты жер бетінен жойып, қайта бастауды қалайды, бірақ ол өзінің "сондай Құдай емес" екенін түсінеді. Ібіліс бір адамды таңдай алады, егер ол адам әлемді жақсырақ еткенін дәлелдей алмаса, Құдай әлемді жояды. Ібіліс Боб Оллманды (Френч Стюарт дауыстаған) таңдайды, ол сыра ішетін, порно көретін, Детройт маңындағы автозауыттың жұмысшысы. Одан адамзатты толық құрып кетуден сақтап қалуын сұрағанда, ол "Маған не пайда?" дейді. Пилоттық серияда адамзатты құтқарып алғаннан кейін, сериал Бобтың Құдайдың әлемге көмектесу үшін тамаша идеялары туғандағы "сенімді адамы" болуы төңірегінде айналады.
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 Allman (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.
Кейіпкерлер
Құдай (Джеймс Гарнер дауысы) – Адам кейпіндегі, сыра ішетін, The Grateful Dead тобынан Джерри Гарсияға ұқсайтын құдай. Әлемнің жағдайына көңілі толып, оны жойып, жаңадан бастауды ойлап, тіпті адамзаттың орнын бауырсақтар басатын жаңа ғаламды жобалауға дейін барады, сонда адамзат "тағам тізбегінің төменгі сатысында" болады. Бірақ ол адамзатқа мүмкіндік беруді қалайды. Ол және Ібіліс көптеген келіспеушіліктерін ұмытқандай көрінеді, жиі араласып жүреді, бірақ Құдай Ібілістің туған күнін ұмытып кетуге бейім. Ол көбінесе күн көзілдірігін киеді және Pop Tarts, жүгері жаңғақтары мен ғарыш тағамдарының таяқшаларын ыңғайлы болғандықтан жақсы көреді. Әдетте ол Бобтан басқа ешкімге көрінбейді, бірақ балалар да оны көре алады. Ақымақтар да көреді. Ол 12 жасқа дейінгі адамдардың жанын бағыттайды.
God (voiced by James Garner) The laid back, beer drinking deity, whose human appearance is visually styled 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 enjoys Pop Tarts, corn nuts and spacefood sticks because of their convenience. Though he is normally invisible to everyone but Bob, children can also see him. So can the insane. He has guidance over people's souls until they are 12. The Devil (also known as Lucifer) (voiced by Alan Cumming) The Devil 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, to the point that he planned to go to war with Heaven when God forgot their golf outing. He also goes into vicious rants when he loses a game (i. e. bowling with God). He has influence over people's souls from the ages of 12–20. He often observed Bob and plots ways to cause chaos but rarely does anything that is more than an inconvenience. One episode where God began acting human had him delight in being unsupervised only to quickly tire of it being “pointless” without god. He says it's like a chess game implying he only plots against God out of habit and for attention. Robert Downey Jr. was originally cast to voice the Devil, but was forced to withdraw from the role due to his relapse into drug addiction. Bob Allman (voiced by French Stewart) The pornography watching, heavy drinking, surly 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 is very unsure of being qualified or capable to save the world. He clearly loves his family and goes to extreme lengths to keep them safe. However Bob often makes excuses to go drinking. 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. The character was specifically drawn to look like actor French Stewart. Donna Allman (voiced by Laurie Metcalf) Bob's wife who is constantly trying her best to be a good mother. There is friction between her and Megan and Donna keeps trying to fix it. 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 14 years of parenting. Megan Allman (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) Bob and Donna's 13 year old daughter and eldest child. She is overly rebellious, insistent, very stubborn, bad tempered and unruly, yet loves her family albeit very deep down. She's also a bit of a hypocrite, as just after stating that their family doesn't do anything, she blows off family dinner to phone a friend. Andy Allman (voiced by Kath Soucie) Bob and Donna's 6 year old son. He is a sweet, good natured boy who looks up to his father and wants a genuine relationship with him. He is the only person who really believes Bob talks to God and the Devil. At one point in the beginning of the show, he actually sees God. Smeck (voiced by Jeff Doucette) An imp like demon who 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. It is suggested in an early episode that he is among the oldest demons in hell. In episode seven, we learn the Devil would fire him were it not for his union and would kill him if he had not promised Smeck's mother on her deathbed.
Ібіліс (Люцифер деп те аталады) (Алан Камминг дауысы) – Ібіліс Құдайды әлемді жоюға көндіруге тырысады және оны құтқаруға Бобтың тырысқандарына үнемі кедергі келтіреді. Ол маргарита ішеді және Бобтың "көрген ең крутой көлік" деп сипаттаған қызғылт Dodge Charger-ді жүргізеді. Сырттай көрінісіне қарамастан, Ібіліс мұқтаж және тәуелді, Құдай оны елемегенде немесе ұмытқанда көз жасына жылайды, тіпті Құдай олардың гольф ойнауын ұмытқанда, көкке соғыс ашуға жоспарлайды. Ол сондай-ақ ойыннан (мысалы, Құдаймен боулингтен) жеңілгенде ашуға мініп, қатал сөздер айтады. Ол 12-20 жас аралығында адамдардың жанына ықпал етеді. Ол Бобты жиі бақылайды және оған зиян келтірудің жолдарын іздейді, бірақ көбінесе тек қиындық тудырады. Бірде Құдай адам сияқты әрекет ете бастағанда, ол бақылаусыз болуға қуанды, бірақ бұл "мағынасыз" болғандықтан тез шаршады. Ол бұл шахмат ойыны сияқты дейді, яғни ол Құдайға қарсы әрекет етеді, бірақ бұл әдеттен және назар аудару үшін жасалады. Роберт Дауни-младший бастапқыда Ібілістің дауысын беруге таңдалды, бірақ есірткіге тәуелділікке қайта түскендіктен рөлден бас тартуға мәжбүр болды.

Боб Оллман (Френч Стюарт дауысы) – Порнография көретін, көп ішетін, ашулы, білімсіз Құдайдың пайғамбары/хабаршысы. Ол Детройт қаласынан келген автозауыт жұмысшысы және "Қызыл қанаттар" командасының жанкүйері. Көптеген кемшіліктеріне қарамастан, Құдай оған сенім артады және Боб ақырында жеңіске жетеді. Ол әлемді құтқаруға қабілетті ме, жоқ па, оған сенімсіз. Ол отбасын жақсы көреді және оларды қауіпсіздікте ұстау үшін бар күшін салады, бірақ Боб ішімдікке бару үшін жиі сылтау іздейді. Сериал дамыған сайын, Боб Құдаймен де, Ібіліспен де достық қарым-қатынаста бола бастайды, бірақ соңғысы әлі де Бобқа қарсылық көрсетеді. Кейіпкердің суреті актер Френч Стюартқа ұқсату үшін жасалған.

He also goes into vicious rants when he loses a game (i. e. bowling with God). He has influence over people's souls from the ages of 12–20. He often observed Bob and plots ways to cause chaos but rarely does anything that is more than an inconvenience. One episode where God began acting human had him delight in being unsupervised only to quickly tire of it being “pointless” without god. He says it's like a chess game implying he only plots against God out of habit and for attention. Robert Downey Jr. was originally cast to voice the Devil, but was forced to withdraw from the role due to his relapse into drug addiction. Bob Allman (voiced by French Stewart) The pornography watching, heavy drinking, surly 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 is very unsure of being qualified or capable to save the world. He clearly loves his family and goes to extreme lengths to keep them safe. However Bob often makes excuses to go drinking. 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. The character was specifically drawn to look like actor French Stewart. Donna Allman (voiced by Laurie Metcalf) Bob's wife who is constantly trying her best to be a good mother. There is friction between her and Megan and Donna keeps trying to fix it. 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 14 years of parenting. Megan Allman (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) Bob and Donna's 13 year old daughter and eldest child. She is overly rebellious, insistent, very stubborn, bad tempered and unruly, yet loves her family albeit very deep down. She's also a bit of a hypocrite, as just after stating that their family doesn't do anything, she blows off family dinner to phone a friend. Andy Allman (voiced by Kath Soucie) Bob and Donna's 6 year old son. He is a sweet, good natured boy who looks up to his father and wants a genuine relationship with him. He is the only person who really believes Bob talks to God and the Devil. At one point in the beginning of the show, he actually sees God. Smeck (voiced by Jeff Doucette) An imp like demon who 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. It is suggested in an early episode that he is among the oldest demons in hell. In episode seven, we learn the Devil would fire him were it not for his union and would kill him if he had not promised Smeck's mother on her deathbed.
Смек (Джефф Дюсетт дауысы) – Ібілістің қолбасшысы болып табылатын жын сияқты демон. Ібілістің зорлық-зомбылығына қарамастан, ол қожайынына адал болып қалады. Алғашқы эпизодта оның тозақтағы ең көне демон екендігі айтылған. Жетінші эпизодта Ібіліс оның одағы болмаса, оны жұмыстан шығаратынын және егер ол Смектің анасына өлім аузында уәде бермеген болса, оны өлтіретінін білеміз.
God (voiced by James Garner) The laid back, beer drinking deity, whose human appearance is visually styled 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 enjoys Pop Tarts, corn nuts and spacefood sticks because of their convenience. Though he is normally invisible to everyone but Bob, children can also see him. So can the insane. He has guidance over people's souls until they are 12. The Devil (also known as Lucifer) (voiced by Alan Cumming) The Devil 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, to the point that he planned to go to war with Heaven when God forgot their golf outing.
