''Moral Orel'' was a popular show on the late night Cartoon Network block Adult Swim. It aired from December 2005 to December 2008, spanning 3 seasons for a total of 44 episodes and a 2012 special.


There was one unaired episode titled '''"Abstinence"''' that centered around Doughy finding his "true calling" of being cock-blocked. The episode had been completely animated, (apparently in the style of the "Orel's Home Movies" shorts that played at the end of some episodes), but due to the show being cancelled, it ended up being shelved. Dino Stamatopoulous wrote the script and the rest was handled by David Tuber, Mick Ignis and other members of the crew.

"Abstinence" has only ever been publicly played once during the January 2009 Sketchfest in San Francisco. Based on a post by Stamatopoulous on an Adult Swim thread, this may have been the only time that it would ever be officially screened.

The unaired episode, titled '''"Abstinence"''', is said to be a Doughy themed episode, revolving around him finding his true calling, that being "cock-blocking". The episode had been completely animated, (apparently in the style of the "Orel's Home Movies" shorts that played at the end of some episodes), but for whatever reason, never ended up being aired during the original run of ''Moral Orel''. Dino Stamatopoulous wrote the script but was not involved at all with anything else with this episode. The rest was handled by David Tuber, Mick Ignis and other members of the crew.
