Editorial Reviews

Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally!!!! (thank you thank you thank you), September 28, 2005

By	Diane B. Firstman "dianagramr" (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"The Oblongs" is another one of those cartoons that is greatly underappreciated by the masses.

Yes, its humor is derived from a family of "oddballs" and their miscreant friends and neighbors, but the laughs were just so plentiful. Excellent writing, and brilliant voice work by Will Ferrell and Jean Smart.

Sadly, the show only lasted one season, and reruns are now shown haphazardly on "Adult Swim". Maybe there will be a grassroots movement to bring the show back, now that its on DVD (it worked for "Family Guy", and this show is at LEAST as good as "Family Guy" ... and much better than "American Dad"!)

By	E. Porter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Oblongs are coming to dvd ! its about time this great twisted show gets a dvd set. dont listen to reviewer T. Casey who wants you to be a Barney fan like he is. The Oblongs cartoon is comedy gold. How can you go wrong with a show about a deformed family that lives next to a toxic waste dump ? well how can you go wrong ?.... im waiting for a answer !

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty, Clever, and Funny, July 20, 2005

By	Bassilisk (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews

I think the other reviewer hasn't given this series a chance. One episode isn't enough to judge an entire series! Also, this series was (it seems to me, anyway) meant for adults, not kids. That's why it's on ADULT Swim. This is a great series which Hot Topic hasn't killed yet.
