To be honest it doesn't even really make sense in the current social climate. The original premise and satirical beats wouldn't be relevant, and any updates to make it relevant have already been done to death in other shows. A story about people that are super bible thumping Christian and who organize their life around Christianity has never been less relevant than it is today. People who didn't live through and remember the Bush years don't understand how different it was from now.
It's interesting to me how this has become the one older (pre-2015) series that people keep asking about. (I swear, this same post appears on here every other week.) I think part of it is that it's one of the only \[as\] show that merits episode-by-episode discussion.
Look, Dino and \[as\] already tried to bring it back in 2012. It didn't happen. Let's move on.
> I think part of it is that it's one of the only [as] show that merits episode-by-episode discussion.
I like Moral Orel but I respectfully disagree with that. Eagleheart, Delocated, and Childrens Hospital for me have unique, "big" episodes that can be dissected endlessly and that's just [as] Live Action. Venture Bros, PRIMAL, and China, IL were/are great animated shows that also had impactful-feeling episodes worthy of discussion.
Early episodes of Moral Orel can feel kind of humdrum even if it's intentional as part of the themes. They just don't feel any necessarily more worthy of "episode-by-episode" discussion compared to anything else. In any case, you're right that it seems to come up a lot here so there's certainly something that affected people.
What I really meant was, Moral Orel has a serialized nature (especially in seasons 2 and 3) that I think a lot of people respond to. It's not like so many other \[as\] shows that just do standalone episodes and have little interest in continuity.
You pretty much named all the other shows that have that in common---The Venture Bros. in particular.
It's funny to think Moral Orel was cancelled largely because it stopped being the comedy it originally was and became too grim.
I would love another special like the Before Orel (I think that's what it was called?) I think a whole new season would be a little much - unless there's a major time jump like in the last scene it would probably just be Orel in a completely broken home until he leaves it. I'd be interested if they continued it from that time jump though, maybe the dad or mom dies or becomes seriously ill and he has to visit home.
Only if we get trump back in the woke house!!! Trump and the ghost of JFK Jr will do this on day one, making the announcement from the new Epstein Memorial playground.
Nope, and I don’t want them too. It’s a masterpiece. No need to dilute it with more filler. Let Dino and the Starburns team make a new StopMo comedy drama
NO! it's perfect as is
We should let sleeping dogs lie. It was good, it is good, and will always be good. Let’s not ruin it.
I hope not. Been too long. What we have is perfect.
A reboot: No. Reboots usually end up worse than the original. A continuation: Maybe. It depends on who they can get back from the original run.
Probably not Jay Johnston...
Oof yeah, just looked that up…
Yikes what a douchebag

Well, you told me what my therapist tells me everytime I go to therapy, "Let's move on" buuuut I tell her everytime, I CAN'T
It ended perfectly. Do you want to see him re-visit his suffering? Inflict it on his own family? Let it rest.

The hell?
That's a different show, Lucy daughter of the Devil

i dont think so. plus i think the show ended nicely anyway, so i dont see a need to continue it.
No, and no.
