What exactly makes this double disc of Moral Orel's first season just so "unholy"? Well, for starters, it's uncensored, but that label is really just an amusing ruse, because if anything, the original episodes, which ran as part of Adult Swim's programming, are more offensive than anything you're likely to see on network or cable television. The brainchild of TV writer Dino Stamatopolous (Mr. Show, The Ben Stiller Show), the animated series Moral Orel skewers both conservative viewpoints and children's shows like Davey and Goliath, from which Orel borrows its animated style and naive world view. The series follows the thoroughly misguided adventures of Orel, a very impressionable young resident of the small town of Moralton. The citizens of said burg live by a very strict interpretation of Christian beliefs, and this rigid interpretation tends to land Orel in very hot water when he attempts to apply them to the less-than-black-and-white world around him. Over the course of the first season's ten episodes (which are all included here, as well as five episodes from the second season), Orel accidentally unleashes a plague of zombies on his townsfolk ("The Lord's Greatest Gift"), develops a horrific crack addiction ("Charity"), gets pierced in an unmentionable place ("The Blessed Union"), and in the series' most jaw-dropping episode to date, "God's Chef," turns a wrong-headed interpretation of sex into a town-wide rash of unexpected pregnancies.

If you're no longer shocked by South Park, chances are that Moral Orel will fill that void, but it's important to note that like South Park, Orel isn't just about breaking taboos. There's a lot of very clever dialogue here, and the "lessons" taught to Orel by his dad, Clay, and the miserable Reverend Putty, do much to skewer the double-talk that permeates zealous types on both sides of the religious and social fences. Supplemental features on The Unholy Edition include eight commentaries by Stamatopoulous and his production team (which includes fellow Mr. Show alum Jay Johnston, who also provides many voices for the series), which cover the trials and tribulations involved in the show's productions, as well as the many headaches incurred by the network over content and thematic issues. Several featurettes are also included, and the most entertaining of these is "The Awkward Comic-Con Panel," in which a seemingly deranged Stamatopolous gets into an argument with Venture Bros. creators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer; commentaries by both sides of the fracas are also included. The extras are rounded out by deleted scenes, network bumpers, and footage of Stamatopolous recording the voice of Reverend Putty (he was replaced by William Saylers). --Paul Gaita

5 out of 5 stars Hilarious   July 21, 2008

This is simply a great show. It's probably funnier to those who aren't devout Christians, or just too sensitive about religion. It's basically about a kid who misconstrues what he learns about the bible from those around him,(his father, reverend Putty) and ends up doing some not so moral things. The formula for the show isn't really original, but the writers are so clever that the show comes off fresh and creative. All in all it's my favorite show on Adult swim and I can't wait for the new season on tv and the second season on dvd.

The worst thing you can say about a comedy show is that it's not funny. The second worse thing is that it's boring. To that I would add: shooting fish in a barrel is not sport. Before you think I'm a fundie apologist let me say: I love "Wondershowzen". So that should tell you something.


5 out of 5 stars Bask in Moral Orel's glory!   July 21, 2007

This show is so witty and well-written, I am still catching things that I missed after 6-7 viewings. I love this show, even though I am religious myself. It really is just a satire of religion and 1950s middle America attitude, even though it takes place here and now.

One of Adult Swim's finest shows.

That song, in between episodes on Disc 2, is worth the price of purchase by itself!
The whole production is an excellent spoof of American WASP "Christianity" - and Religion in general.
It is sure to offend many in the "Moral Majority" - but for those of us who have found life outside said group - it is a hoot!
Gumby must be morphing in his grave.



5 out of 5 stars One of the funniest shows ever!   June 14, 2007
 10 out of 11 found this review helpful

This show is one of the funniest shows ever made. I first stumbled upon this show on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network, I thought it was an episode of Robot Chicken poking fun at Davey & Goliath. Turns out it was Moral Orel! Orel is a young boy who wants nothing more than do right in the eyes of God. However despite his best efforts no matter how hard he tries, he always screws up in the end. What makes the show funny is as the viewer you can see the trainwreck that is about to happen and just sit there and wait for it to happen.
The show isn't for everyone, but for those with a slightly off sense of humor you will love this show.
