If you saw this on NBC you were one of the lucky ones. I would love to see on ASC. If anybody agrees with lets try to get the canceled series back on the air!!!!!

I think they should air it as a special first then let the viewers voice their opinions whether it should be aired or not. I never got to see the show, and I would like to be able to see it before I say whether or not it should be on AS.

I've never seen it, but I remember hearing some bad things about it on Toonzone messege boards. I think the pilot idea is the best option. Best case scenario: everyone loves it and it becomes a series, or people just enjoy it for the night. Worst case scenario: everyone hates it, but it's only on for 30 minutes on one night.

WORST SHOW EVER! No way should it be on ASC. The plot pacing was slow, resulting in padding up the wazoo, and the parts that were supposed to be funny just weren't. I was half expecting to hear a laugh track during the show.

This show along with David Spade's attempt at animated comedy, Sammy, and also the squigglevision show that was on FX(Dick and Paula?), and also Stressed Eric should never been on Adult Swim.
I'd rather they spend a couple more bucks and get a quality anime series than those shows.

I consider myself one of the unlucky ones who saw this show back when it aired a while back. I found it quite bad and would prefer if AS would not become well known for taking dumped shows from the networks.

Trust me just about every show you named WILL appear on Adult Swim almost Undoubtedly.. I'm just waiting for Dilbert to show up. That's one I'm actually looking forward to.
I mean they've already gotten all of The WB's Line Up, and until they can find away to get, Dr. Katz(PLEASE), Duckman, The Critic and Family Guy we will definetly see the other shows eventually. Theyw ant to keep coming in with new stuff and if that means scrapping the bottom of the barrel. They will.

I'm very interested in seeing the latter three (Duckman, the Critic, and Family Guy) myself. I love those serieses, I will probably continue to love them, and i sincerely with they would get more air time.
Personally though, and I dunno how this may sound, but for some reason in my wee little mind I can't see Duckman, The Critic, or Family Guy on ASC. They are animated, and they are funny but...I dunno. The humor just seems too mainstream for ASC. Which, again, sounds strange, but i do see the ASC shows as having a different sort of humor than any other animated show thats been around.
Of course, thats just my werid little opinoin.

I was one of the few who saw the orig. broacasts of GTD&B and I was VERY disappointed in it...unfunny slow and tried way to hard to be edgy..wound up looking corny.
Speaking of reruns...I would love to see some of the MTV liquid television shows released to Adult Swim, especially Aeon Flux, the Head, and the MAXX... and what about the Tick series..thats was awesome! :D

I was forced to watch "God, The Devil and Bob" by my brother, a huge Gary Oldman fan. (He was the Devil). I have to say I was pleasently surprised. Granted, sometimes it got a little dumb, and it tried to be "The Simpsons" at times, but over all, it was an enjoyable show. I think what threw people off was the whole religous aspect of the show. Contrary to popular opinion, it didn't make fun of Christinianity. It came off to me as a modern bible story that was as much inspired by Homer, Bart, and Peter Griffin as it was by Mark, Luke, and John. I think that the show would have gotten better if NBC would have left it on the air a bit longer. As for "The Family Guy", I'd love to see it on ASC (or Comedy Central, or USA, or TNN, or FX...) Anything so the show doesn't go off the air completely.

I do admit it's weaker than Family Guy, Invader Zim or even Beavis & Butt-Head but however I do find it a stronger show than King of the Hill or Futurama. Before I get hanged that pilots are always kinda weak to begin I live in the Uk and as luck would I have it I got to see most of the series and it gets a lot funnier but I do agree with showing it slowly and if it works, it works if it dosen't oh well. I just think it would be a good filler between the times of getting new Home Movies or waiting for a better series to come.

Stressed Eric was actually pretty funny, well at least the episode that I saw was. It probably won’t be on AS though, since it was made so long ago.

Which show was "Stressed Eric"? I remember the name, but that's about it.

Sadly CN will probably never get Duckman or The Critic (Also 2 of my favorites) Comedy Central owns them, and the grip they have on them is a death grip.

If you need hope, Comedy central is owned by Aol-Time warner and viacom, so the critic has a minor chance.

I`m sorry but both duckman and the family guy are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY beyong what CN consider`s its limit as far as adult content is concerned. Even if they had the rights to them the chance of airing them would still be one in a million...
I only saw the pilot for god the devil and bob but I thought it was pretty good!
I've never seen GtDaB before, so I wouldn't be against another month special type thing.
