The program takes place in the city of Moralton, in the fictional U.S. state "Statesota", which is made up of parts of Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. According to the globe shown in the opening credits, Moralton is in the exact center of the United States with the town's church (presumably) at the exact center of the country. The globe also has the United States as its own continent on its own hemisphere. The rest of the North American continent and South America are present, but on the other side of the globe. The main character is Orel, a student at Alfred G Diorama Elementary School, who constantly tries to live by the moral code of his Christian religion. It seems that the characters of Moralton's morals are slowly breaking down, with most of the other characters being miserable or jaded, with their Protestant brand of Christianity seen as the root of most of their problems (one episode reveals that being a Protestant means lacking any emotional warmth). Most episodes of the first season had a similar formula: Orel would hear a sermon in church on Sunday, then proceed to have some sort of misadventure based around his attempts to live by that lesson.
Following the series premiere, The Best Christmas Ever, the Adult Swim message boards received numerous posts (later reproduced on promotional bumps) from viewers believing that the show was too ludicrous to be an actual program and that it was aired as a joke. Although The Best Christmas Ever aired first, it was produced to be the season finale. It aired out of order to coincide with the Christmas season.
Three episodes of the first season were held back because Cartoon Network's Standards & Practices found them to be too dark and crude even for Adult Swim (one episode centered on Orel drinking alcohol in order to be more adult, the second centered on Orel and his new friend beating up two boys who are presumably homosexual, and the last was centered around Orel using his sperm to impregnate the women in town after being reprimanded for masturbating and letting his sperm go to waste). Two were approved for air in May 2006, with the last "banned" episode airing July 31, 2006. (from wikipedia)
