God, The Devil and Bob Season 1 on DVD is a great purchase in part because only 4 of the episodes were aired on television before the show was canceled. By purchasing the show on DVD, fans can actually see all of the episodes from Season 1 on their own time, most of which were never shown on NBC. There was a lot of controversy over the show because of its religious nature, but I find and found the show to be very morally uplifting. Of course it is a cartoon and not to be taken too seriously, but it has good intentions and it's a shame that it was canceled so quickly. Luckily, however, it was released on DVD and now, like so many other tv shows on DVD, fans can easily and conveniently enjoy the entire series – in this case of God, the Devil and Bob - from their own homes at their leisure.
In addition to the 13 cartoon shows that are featured on the two DVD discs, there are some extras that come along with the DVD set. Like other tv shows on DVD, there are commentaries on several episodes including "In the Beginning", "The Devil's Birthday", "Bob Gets Committed" and "God's Girlfriend". However, there are also a number of other extras on the DVDs that help to make sure that the purchase is well worth the expense!
On Disc 2, where the some of the commentary and the non-commentary bonuses are found, fans can enjoy a number of different extras, including 15 minutes of voice over audition tapes, Digital Storyboards and a featurette exploring the making of God, The Devil and Bob.
My favorite of the extras, however, when it comes to the complete series of God, The Devil and Bob on DVD would have to be the "On the Set" Interviews that take place. This 12 minute bonus is fun because time is spent with Bob, the Devil and God in a quaint little sit down, question and answer format. An off-screen reporter asks questions of the three main characters and the cartoons answer them in amusing manners. It adds humanity and comedy to the interviews and it is just enjoyable to see how the cartoons would answer questions if they were doing some type of live show rather than a cartoon series. It also adds depth to the characters, which is always appreciated by fans.
