Outstanding Collection
Seen in Cartoon Network Adult Swim, The Oblongs is one of the funniest cartoons around. The Oblongs, a low income family living in a valley close to a chemical environment. A sweet, yet naive father with no arms or legs, a mother who does almost nothing more than smoking and drinking, 4 deformed kids, and a chain smoking cat. Milo the middle child is the star of the show. Most of the stories are based on Milo and his friends... Helga, Creepy Susie, Peggy, and Mikey.
The voices of the characters are well casted... Will Ferrell, Pamela Adlon, Jeannie Elias, and so on.
I would highly recommend the DVD. A cartoon collectors item.

Hilarity off the Beaten Path
For those daring enough to test the boundaries of tragic yet off-the-wall comedy, the Oblongs would be a recommended starter. Based off the “children’s” book “Creepy Susie: and 13 Other Tragic tales for Troubled Children,” the show Oblongs is based on a polarized dichotomy between the forces of poor and rich, good and evil, and “Yes,” necessarily in that order. The Oblongs is a high contrast social critique that satirizes perspectives of society that many may not dare pursue; however, for those willing to make the exploration with an open mind, the results are nothing less than rewarding.

Great show.
I saw one episode of this very funny and entertaining show and I was hooked. I wanted more but sadly it was ended early. I guess for whatever reason this show never caught on but it's a shame cause it could be right up there with Family Guy in my opinion. Check out this complete series DVD, you can thank me later.
