What is the Oblongs?

The Oblongs (stylized as the Oblongs...) is a short-lived American adult animated sitcom created by Angus Oblong and Jace Richdale.

The series focuses on the antics of a family who live in a poor valley community, and as a result of pollution and radiation exposure, are all disabled or deformed. The pollution is the direct result of the lavish lifestyle of the rich community known as "The Hills", whose residents exploit and harm the valley residents with absolutely no regard for their safety or well-being. Many reviewers and fans see the series as a commentary on social stratification.

The series premiered on April 1, 2001, on The WB, and was removed on May 20th, leaving the last five episodes unaired. The remaining episodes were later aired on Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim in August 2002, and later aired on Teletoon's "Teletoon Unleashed" (later become former block Teletoon at Night) block. The series is loosely based on a series of characters introduced in a picture book entitled Creepy Susie and 13 Other Tragic Tales for Troubled Children.

The show was produced by Jobsite Productions and Mohawk Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, and the theme song for the series was composed and performed by They Might Be Giants. A total of 13 episodes were produced.

All thirteen episodes of The Oblongs were released on DVD on October 4, 2005.

As of February 2022, the series is available on Tubi.
