The New York Times has deemed this extraordinary collection to be "the crown jewel of public and network television."

This razor-sharp, outrageous comedy portrays God as an overworked steambath attendant who doles out "wrath" and "blessed events" in between assignments of scrubbing floors and walls. Emmy-nominee Bill Bixby (The Incredible Hulk) and Oscar-nominee Valerie Perrine (Lenny) star-along with Jose Perez, as the wisecracking, blasé, card-trick-playing Lord, who watches while a collection of assorted types-a juvenile delinquent, an old time seaman, a naked ingénue, a Jewish guy nurtured on 30s culture, a pair of elderly homosexual men, and a gambler addicted to the stock market-sit amidst the sweat and mist seemingly uncertain of exactly why they are there.
