About The Oblongs

The Oblongs is a comedy and animation TV series that premiered on Adult Swim on April 1, 2001. It has 2 seasons and 13 episodes so far and was canceled. The latest episode, Season 2 Episode 5 "Father of the Bribe", aired on October 20, 2002.

The Oblongs are not so much dysfunctional as slightly nonfunctional. 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.
