Sealab 2021 - Season 1

Description

It is the year 2021. In this mind-bogglingly distant future, Sealab rises imperiously from the ocean's floor, her crew charged with exploring the possibility of underwater colonization. That is, when they're not fighting giant squids over a toy oven.* Or running pirate radio stations. Or trying to put their brains into robot bodies. Or going back in time. Or being attacked by flesh-ripping aliens. Or becoming addicted to scorpion venom. Or getting stuck in a storage closet. Or going back in time again. Captain Murphy. Marco. Debbie. Stormy. Doctor Quinn. Dolphin Boy. They're all inside this box, screaming to get out so they can live inside your television. So buy the damn thing and set them free. You'll beridiculously glad you did. Promise. *Makes real cupcakes! With a 40-watt bulb!

Summary: "Greatest season of sealab!"

This sealab season comes with the series' greatest episodes. The other seasons are funny, too, but I like this one the most.

Summary: "Funny, but ultimately Empty and Soulless."

Let it never be said that Sealab 2021 was not funny.

It is very funny, and like Space Ghost Coast to Coast and other similar "Adult Swim" shows, it has perfected the art of using crude sarcastic randomness overlaid upon earnest-looking 70s art to make you laugh. (I have come to think this is kind of a cheap trick.)

But that's pretty much all it does. There's no interesting story, just the most bizarre sequence of unrelated events you can imagine. The jokes are not particularly smart, they just consistently hit that sweet-spot of randomness. The characters usually all die in every episode, preventing any plot progression or consistency. There's no original music to speak of save the catchy theme song. The animation reflects a clear minimum of effort.

In conclusion "Sealab" is funny, but it is devoid of other entertainment-value content. So in my personal view it is 2 stars, it's entertaining, but not really worth watching.

Summary: "It's great"

Sealab 2021 is one of the funniest cartoons I've ever watched. Narrowly edged out by Earthworm Jim. This DVD has some great episodes - Lost in Time stands out as the most side-splittingly hilarious. Definitely worth the money.
