Is Anyone Psyched for "Moral Orel?"

[PeppeRaskell1]

I saw an ad for it this morning while watching Gigantor on my DVR. Looks like it's going to be a send up of the Davey and Goliath claymation 'toons I watched when I was growing up in the 60's.

If Davey and Goliath lived in South Park, that is...:evil: :D ;)

"Psyched" is too positive of a word for what I think of this.

It seems interesting, but considering the creators' previous bore-fest that aired on AS earlier this year, I have my doubts. Let's hope it's better than said bore-fest.

Well, moreso than Wulin Warriors and Saul of the Mole People. Much less than other things though.

This is the first show Dino Stamatopolous has created for AS. What else has he done for that's been on AS?

I believe that the's credited as a writer on Tom Goes to the Mayor.

As for me, I'm not very enthusiastic. It almost feels like too obvious of a premise to really be interesting. Oh well, I don't lose anything by giving a try.

I saw his IMDb listing, but in the TGGTM credits he was only credited as a Creative Consultant. The only writers credited were Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim and Bob Odenkirk.

But here's his IMDb listing - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0821786/ . He sure must be chummy with Dana Carvey to later work on The Master of Disguise.

Could be, I didn't really think it through.

Co-producer on Master of Disguise. Wow, what a promising sign.

[livingfruitvirus]

No it's not. Blech. But Conan O Brien is. Regardless, it's not wise to pre-determine a show's outcome before it airs (which everyone seems to be doing these days), because usually in discussion threads weeks later people begin warming up to the show, and in some cases disliking it (Tom). I also don't like how this show, like many others, is being pigeonholed into that awful description. Just like weeks before Venture Bros. aired, every article was saying "LOL JONNY QUEST PARODY!" I doubt that description is used much these days after a season has aired.

With the recent adult swim offerings(every new show is better than the last) I hope it will be good but at the same time im not sure.I love the style but its writing may dissapoint me.

he did work on master of disquise though and that cant be a bad thing.:D

But, but, I thought for someone to get their license to internet, they had to by cynical, jump to conclusions, and automatically dislike 90% of everything.

[G1Ravage]

I know the show's going to be hilarious when the commercial for it looks squeaky clean, but has a TV-MA logo on it the entire time.

[Tienshin]

I'm looking forward to it, personally. I like how the ads portray Moral Orel as being incredibly wholesome. It will be interesting to see how it approaches "adult humor".

I would have to agree wholeheartedly.

Seriously though, that's kind of frightening thought... But yeah, I'm not sure what to think of the show. I hope it's alright, I'm afraid it may be very similar to Robot Chicken (sorry folks, I don't like this show at all.) The Davey and Goliath parody format could work but I don't know. It's pretty cool how Adult Swim is advertising it with a little "mystery" to it by making it look like a happy cartoon for the holidays. So I'll watch it, but right now I'm going to keep my expectations for it being good or bad in the middle.

thats exactly why I'm both enticed and scared to see it :confused:

Same here. I get the similar feeling to what the Titanic passengers must have felt when they first heard someone say:"Hey, doesn't that look like an iceberg out there?"

[William C. Maune]

Sure, Master of Disguise wasn't great. However, I don't think too much should be assumed from being attached to one bad movie. It's not like because of Master of Disguise that Dana Carvey has never done anything funny.

Sometimes people work on a bad movie/show. Sometimes it is their fault because they can't make good stuff. On the other hand, sometimes it is their fault, but it doesn't mean everything they do is bad. Sometimes it isn't even their fault. There is a lot of stuff that can go wrong that one person on a project may have no control over.

[Scythemantis]

What's it supposed to matter if he co-produced a bad movie? (Not that I've even seen the film, I'm just going by the reaction here)...a producer has NOTHING to do with writing or directing. Only funding and outside buisiness.

[Mr. Manager]

I missed the ad. What exactly happened?

[raykremer]

I've learned more about what this is going to be from this thread than from all the times I've seen it mentioned on air on [as]. Why the hell would I be psyched for it?

True.

But when you're attached to a bad movie AND a bad TV show like Tom, the confidence dwindles.

At least unlike Master of Disguise though, some of us like Tom Goes to the Mayor.

**** happens. Not just in TV, either - look at baseball. There's guys who couldn't put it together for a few seasons, but then go to another team and it clicks.

In other words, judge it for what it is, not by any preconcieved notions.

[unneutered]

I liked the message on the "God's Favorite Protestant Church" notice board:

"Yes kids, we lied about Santa, but Jesus is for real"

[shoujoaifan]

Hmmm, on one hand a spoof of those family stop-animation specials could be great (Don't get me wrong though, I love watching those). So much they can make fun of (I wonder what the context is for the kid swinging in the manager...besides swinging in the manager.) On the other hand it could be forced and have the feeling of winking at the audience. Hell, it might be better to just be a sitcom that uses stop-animation. Who knows.

I'll give it the benefit of a doubt and only judge it after actually seeing it. Hopefully it doesn't end up like most of the new series from the last couple years.

[Crimefighter]

So what's in this show to make it rated TV-MA?

[tb4000]

So what's in this show to make it rated TV-MA? Hmmm...some bloody violence, profanity, some sexual comedy. The usual.

According to someone that saw it apparantly, one of the lines in the show is as follows - "Can't I just mix my urine with my orange juice? It's a sin to waste."

[Daffy Dork]

As of right now,YES. I am psyched beyond belief.
