Weird name, dude....

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)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Godthedevilandbobscreenshot.jpg

Image:Godthedevilandbobscreenshot.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
