A miracle! Adult Swim will air a Moral Orel prequel special in November

Lying is a sin, so I would never bear false witness when it comes to Moral Orel coming back to Adult Swim. Dino Stamatopoulos announced on Twitter not too long ago that his stop-motion show would return for a one-shot prequel special, Beforel Orel, Monday, November 19 at midnight.

According to MTV Geek, the story will focus on how Orel Puppington became such a devout little gent as well as the circumstances of the birth of his brother, Shapey. Why is Shapey something of a mystery? Because he's Orel's half-brother. And since we know that Orel's parents, Clay and Bloberta, have a rather tenuous relationship, this probably means that we'll get a better look at the unholy goings-on outside the Puppington household.

But mostly, it's going to be a ton of fun to see exactly what made Orel become the most dangerously optimistic person ever.

  Oh, sweet.

  FYI Orel virgins, this show gets pretty damn awesome… it kinda kicks into a higher gear after a couple of seasons, IIRC.

  “Sacrifice” is one of the best episodes of anything ever broadcast. But just about anything in the third season is so good it makes you ache.

  I hope this means we will get the whole series on DVD.

  It’s basically “Davie and Goliath” from the perspective of Gahan Wilson’s kid in the comic strip “Nutz.”

  I have to admit though that sometimes it just freaks me right the fuck out.
