Moral Orel
''Moral Orel'' is an American adult stop-motion animated sitcom created by Dino Stamatopoulos which originally aired on Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim from December 13, 2005 to December 18, 2008. The series has been described as "''Davey and Goliath'' meets ''South Park''". However, Stamatopoulos is wary of the comparison with ''Davey and Goliath'', telling ''The New York Times'' that ''Moral Orel'' grew out of a concept for a send-up of a '' Leave It to Beaver''-style 1950s sitcom that would star Iggy Pop. The series is a satire of the archetypes of Middle American suburban life, modern-day WASP culture, alcoholism, and religious fundamentalism. At the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, Stamatopoulos announced that the show would not be renewed for a fourth season. The final season was aired interspersed with repeats from the first two seasons, as many of the episodes took place in parallel with events of past episodes.
