Sealab 2021: Season Three (2003) * Weird & Wacky *
"Sealab... Underneath the Pravda!"
Genre: Animation Sci-Fi Comedy Series
Starring: Michael Goz, Erik Estrada ("CHiPs")
Directed By: Adam Reid, Matt Thompson
Overview: In this updated modern revisiting of the 1972 Series "Sealab 2020", we see a far more farcical and... adult comedy, of scientists living under water, doing... who knows what.
Thank God for fresh ideas. Season Three of "Sealab 2021", though nowhere as golden as the original season chock full of A-List ideas, is one that fares far better than the Second Season hiccup.
This year, "Sealab 2021" revealed creators waking up from their bender, asking "what happened last year?" and leaving their past behind them in favour of moving forward.
One of the major changes they made this season was replacing the fun, childlike and incompetent Captain Hazel 'Hank' Murphy with the new Captain Bellerophon 'Tornado' Shanks, whose previous career was that of coaching College Football. Tough as nails with a college ball mentality, it's an amusing concept as a replacement.
The original actor for Murphy, Harry Goz, died in 2003. He was replaced by his his actual son, Michael Goz, which seems like a pretty nice thing to do. Hopefully the Season 4 will have seen a smooth transition to Tornado's command.
Another major difference is the addition of new animation. Rather than pigeonholing themselves into the style they began with, "Sealab 2021" is enhancing the show by opening up the box a little, throwing in new images, used and recycled over and over (very cute).
What I was most pleased with this year, is that thematically, rather than changing, we're back on the selfish, corporate-whore, Gen-X apathy train.
Subtitles, being a sign of stuffy foreign films, might in fact be a turn-off, I admit...
Overall Rating: 80% (Risen From The Depths)
Revealing the inner demons of sloth and keeping the hate on, well that my friends, is the best news of all. Sometimes entertainment should teach us all the wrong lessons on how to be.
