Editorial Review:
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.
The Oblongs - The Complete Series Reviews:
Twisted 
2009-10-19 - The Oblongs - could be distant future offspring of the Bundy's, make the Simpson's and Family Guy look like Disney characters. Saw it on Adult Swim but frustrated with little air time, so purchasing it was a real win.
Reality cartoons
2009-10-13 - You do realize the Oblongs are a self portrate of animators in the valley (Burbank) and they feel they are mutants from the hills of Hollywood (The Hill) Words cant describe the affection I have for The Oblongs, if you are a "Mutant you NEED The Oblongs. I love "Pickles" (confesson).

So Underrated
2009-09-22 - I absolutely loved The Oblongs when it aired on Cartoon Network. I always found it underrated. The DVD is great but honestly just left me wanting more episodes.
Brilliant but canceled
2009-08-04 - I first saw "The Oblongs" on Cartoon Network's gloriously twisted Adult Swim block of programming (just as a side note, Adult Swim presents some of the most creative animation being produced in the world today) and instantly fell in love with the exquisite wrongness of its humor. What a shame Warner Bros. didn't appreciate all the creativity that went into the series. The 13 episodes are sharp, witty, and never condescend to the audience, with brilliant voice performances, especially by Will Ferrell and Jean Smart. Angus Oblong's marvelous designs come to vibrant life and make you cheer for the lovable-though-misshapen inhabitants of Hill Valley. The simple object lesson of the show is that it's more important to have a heart than to be rich, beautiful and popular. I have followed this philosophy for many years and have never regretted making the friends I have and meeting the people I love. Would that the world had more Oblongs in it.
Everything you need!
2009-05-29 - If you're a fan of Oblongs, you need to buy this complete series. It obviously has the entire series, but it also has behind the scenes interviews and such that gives you an idea of what the show COULD have been. I gave it as a birthday present and he was thrilled by it! The Oblong's humor may not be for everyone, but if it's for you, it's a safe buy - you know you'll love it!
