Laboratorio Submarino 2021

As everyone here so far has said, "Sealab 2021" is just hilarious. What makes this show really brilliant is that the episodes follow no particular rules or format. Anything (or nothing at all) can happen and generally does, whether the crew members are striking each other with sticks; the Captain is feeding his Gremlin-like pet "Gloop" liquor, causing it to multiply; or Sealab is invaded by the "Bizarro" crew. (Now that was just friggin' hilarious, with the word "Bizarro" repeated about 100 times.) Enjoy. Adult cartoons don't get much better than this.

Part of Cartoon Networks Adult Swim Line up. It is the year 2021 and the members of the Sealab are crazy. In one episode, Debbie's biological clock goes off and she desperately searches for a suitable mate to father her child. Odd thing is part of the time she has a baby dolphin under her arm for no reason adding to the absurdity of the episode. In another episode a flesh eating alien infests the Sealab. But my favorite episode yet features the head of Sealab uses a bouey antenna to create a pirate radio station and becomes a shock jock. But through new laws, the FCC has the right to blow up pirate radio stations at will. The FCC officers hunt the ocean for the sealab cursing like sailors in the process(bleeped out of course). This is a great cheesy little cartoon that can get addictive.

At first I couldn't believe that a 11 min. show could be so good, but now after watching many episodes of Sealab I've changed my mind. After I watched my first episode I thought it was too all over the place but now I've gotten used to it and it's easier to follow the story. My favorite character is Quinn because he is the most sane on board and he tries to keep the crew from going completely crazy, even though they usually do by the end of the episode. This is just an all-around good show that is going in a direction that I'm happy is being explored. One more thing though, I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I can watch an 11 minute show and feel like they could have cut some parts out and made it a better episode.

This show is just so insane, so over-the-top, so twisted and silly that it's just so funny. Not many people will get it, but those that do will more than likely love it.

My particular favourite episode is "Lost in Time", but the first 10 or so episodes are great.

Where else can you see a show where a shark on a motorcycle jumps over a pool of Fonzies? Unfortunately, the show was never the same once the man who brilliantly played Captain Murphy died, who never failed to deliver at least five laughs per episode.

The characters are so utterly ridiculous and their chemistry is great because of it.

If you want a laugh then check it out. One of the best things about it is that it's only around 10 minutes long.

The first Sealab 2021 episode I saw was titled 'Predator.' I saw it on its first run in September of 2001. The episode cracked me up. Cartoon Network finally stepped over a line or two in a great way. Sealab 2021 is fresh comedy that TV has needed. I am happy that more people are starting to see it now. From the ridiculous, yet lovable Capt. Murphy to the sadistic Sparks this show really keeps you entertained. Cartoon Network has been changing its time slot lately so be on the look out for it. Apparently it has been renewed for 13 more episodes. Unfortunately they havent been showing new episodes in the past month or so. Check this show out.
