A re-imagining of the old "Sealab 2020" cartoon from the early 1970's. This short 11 minute cartoon series was simply insanely stream-of-geek-conciseness and utterly hilarious (for the first 3 seasons) After the death of the immensely great Harry Goz, the show took a nosedive straight into the crapper. His Captain Murphy character was the glue that held the great series together and without his the humor just ceased to be there anymore. In my eyes the show ceased to exist a little before the end of season 3, it just took two more years to bury the then bloated and long since dead show.Harry episodes grade: A After his sad death: D

Seasons 1, 2 and 3 were the glory days of Sealab 2021. When Harry Goz, the voice talent of the main character Captain Murphy, died, things started to take a turn downhill.Shanks, a football coach that appeared in the episode "Tornado Shanks" in season 4, replaces Murphy in the following seasons. There are some funny episodes, but some of them make a long-time Sealab fans cringe at the sight. Sealab has never really recovered from Harry Goz's untimely death. If you want to see the best of Sealab, pick up seasons 1, 2 & 3. After that, watch at your own risk.Seasons 1, 2 and 3 get a solid 9/10 in my book. Sealab 2021 did a lot for Adult Swim before Aqua Teen Hunger Force took the main stage. I still watch Sealab, but sometimes it's very painful. Newer episodes like to borrow ideas from the earlier seasons to try and represent it and make it still funny. Doesn't always work too well.However season 5 continues to show more promise, and season 6 is in talks - and I actually look forward to that. I would definitely avoid season 4, I don't know what happened there but it is awful. Now though, I think the crew at Williams Street finally got its edge back and Sealab is beginning to pick up speed again. I'd like to see Sealab be consistently funny again.I hope Sealab is put to rest on a good note. But until that day, I am sure there are plenty more great Sealab episodes to come.

Sealab 2021 one of the new Adult Swim shows by Cartoon Network is one of the funniest cartoons ever made and one of the better toons on the Network. It's a breath of fresh air considering that Toon's network lineup consist of such awful created like "Ed Ed and Eddy" , "Courage the Cowardly Dog" and other abominations of American mediocre toonists.Sealab humor takes place on an underwater sealab. The crew consists of a old idiotic captain, his crew which consists of Marco (the funny voice of chips reject Erik Estrada), a lovely blonde bombshell, and kid with a dolphins voiceto name a few.The show pokes fun at the characters and at race relations and other cartoons on the air.In one episode I saw, the episode poke fun of Hollywood using as the basis the crew, and their popularity.It's just absolute funny.One person said he didn't recommend it, but then contradicted himself by saying it was addictively funny.LoL. Make up youre mind you can't have it both ways.Anyhow a great toon, the Great Critic says so.

I got turned on to this show on Saturday. A friend of mine came over and started spouting out quotes from the show and I had no idea what she was on about and then she wrote 'Sea Lab 2021 rulez your soul' in my yearbook so I watched to show - so funny oh my god, I loved it so much. My favorite episode is the one where Debbie is trying to find someone to father her child. 'I got you something' 'What is it?' 'A book' 'What's it called?' 'A modest proposal' 'By whom?' 'Jonathan Swift' 'And what's the book about?'<long long pause> 'eating babies' 'you're sick!' 'it's like veal, only babies, I'm talking real baby back ribs!' mwahahahahahahaha that is my favorite part of all time. Everyone should watch Sea Lab 2021 - it makes life worth living. ok maybe I won't go that far but the show rocks beyond all reason!!
