Moral Orel: Difference between revisions

 

While the show was cut short, fans kept hope alive for a revival. After 2007, Adult Swim only played reruns of the show sporadically, but in late 2011, the network began rerunning the show in chronological order on weeknights. When Dino learned of this, he said "[if] enough people watch, there may be hope for a special or two" on a Facebook post. A month into the reruns, Dino made another comment: "Got a great call from the Head of Adult Swim yesterday raving about the ratings that the Moral Orel reruns have been getting. Great job, everyone! Keep watching and the Moral Orel special will be imminent." Dino followed up on this on Halloween with a surprise appearance from Orel in the last bump of a ''[[Mary Shelley's Frankenhole]]'' mini-marathon, where Orel said a new ''Moral Orel'' special would come "sometime in the near future". At its May 2012 upfront, Adult Swim confirmed Orel's return with the announcement of ''Beforel Orel'', a special that [as] promises will explain "the origin of Orel's religious nature and the birth of his brother, Shapey".

 

* [[Abusive Parents]]: Played depressingly straight.

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Clay's father, introduced in a flashback episode in Season Three, was supposed to join the cast in the second half of the season; when the show was cancelled, the arc was deepsixed. Also deepsixed was the Miss Censordoll's scheming to take control over the town {{spoiler|via seducing Clay (revealed to be the Mayor of the town in the second-to-last episode of the series, as well as the implications that Censordoll may or may not have manipulated Clay's shooting of Orel.}}
