Mary Shelley's Frankenhole is a stop-motion animated TV series by Dino Stamatopoulos, creator of Moral Orel. The series premiered on June 27, 2010 on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim. The series ended on March 25, 2012 after two seasons with a total of 20 episodes. The second episode, "Mother To Be-Sa" was never aired on television and was never released to the public in any format.
Dr. Victor Frankenstein has completely mastered immortality and has now also created an infinite number of Einstein–Rosen Bridges (wormholes) or "Frankenholes" between Somewhere in Eastern Europe (which is teeming with monsters and supernatural forces) and every time period from the past and the future. This allows historical figures and celebrities seeking the doctor's services to find him. Although many classic horror monsters are present, the series' main focus is Dr. Frankenstein and his family. Creator Dino Stamatopoulos says "regular human beings are the monsters."
Besides Dr. Frankenstein himself, other characters from Frankenstein appear.
Episodes in the first season were requested to air out of order by the series creator, Dino Stamatopolous, following the show's theme that all time takes place at once and is meaningless. Every episode in this season is rated TV-MA.
Mother Teresa just can't say "no" to anyone, and ends up becoming the Frankensteins' indentured servant. She later becomes pregnant and requests to have an abortion.
Season two episodes are titled in commemoration of famous writers and poets of classic science fiction. Every episode in this season was rated TV-14.
