Where to Watch The Oblongs in the UK

Not every great comedy makes it onto the major platforms, and The Oblongs is a reminder of why it's always worth looking beyond the obvious. 2 seasons and 13 episodes of content is out there — TV Butler finds it for you instantly without the guesswork.

Originally commissioned by The WB, The Oblongs quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. The Oblongs are not so much dysfunctional as slightly nonfunctional. Living next to a polluted swamp has left them with the occasional missing limb or mysterious growth, but through it all, this close-knit family sticks together.Sometimes literally. The series ran for 2 seasons (2001–2002), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

Ideal for when you want something light without wanting something stupid. The Oblongs respects its audience — rarer than it should be.
