TV's most loving family....OF FREAKS!

A staple of historic television is the family sitcom, Leave It To Beaver, The Brady Bunch, Family Ties, Full House and so many more. They are the stories of unity, life lessons and love. Now take that loving family and make them all deformed due to living near a toxic waste dump. Say hello to the Oblongs!

This show lasted for only one year on the WB now CW 11. It was one of the most revolutionary animated sitcoms way before it's time. If it were to be released now it would probably be a smash hit. This is also perhaps Will Ferrel's best performance playing the loving and devoted father Bob, who is nothing but a bouncing torso with the best one liners like 'Pickles, have you seen my ankle weights?! These characters may not the be the most plesent to look at or some of the things they do may cause the gag reflex to kick in. Yet, this show brings out the diversity of rich and poor folk, important moral values and of course the importance of family. Give this overlooked gem a try, I promise you will get a laugh.

What Happened?

Why would a show this UN-politically correct get canceled??!! It's satirical view on society's superficial tendencies and it's way of conveying the true way that the genuine people in the world are oppressed makes the Oblongs not only hilariously somber but a great commentary on all the flaws in our society. The Oblongs is a must have! Includes a documentary on the creation of the show.

far too funny to be NOT on TV

It's a shame they were pulled off the air. This family had something that the Simpsons and Family Guy doesn't have. You just have to watch it and find out yourself what it was they did have. :)

Based on Angus Oblong's underground cartoon world, The Oblongs are so much dysfunctional as slightly non-functional. Living next to a polluted swamp has left them with the occasional missing limb or mysterious growth, but through it all, this close-knit family sticks together. Sometimes literally.
