A Tribute to Sealab 2021-

Sealab is perhaps the only thing worth watching on TV anymore. Perhaps you should start watching it.

In the wonderful tradition of the GI Joe PSA's (http://www.ebaumsworld.com/gijoe.html), Sealab is a remixed version of an old show called Sealab 2020, which was about the crew of a futuristic undersea research base and their soap opera like situations.

Now, fast forward a year. The entire crew hates each other, and the only female member of it is apparently sleeping around with everyone of every race.

Let me tell you how awesome this cartoon really is: almost every episode, Sealab gets destroyed. I mean, blows up, or the crew dies and aliens take over.

Yes, as you might ask, there are seasons. Great thing is, that though the episodes are chronological, they don't have anything to do with each other!

Let me give you an example: 

The captain uses a retinal scanner and a fingerprint scanner to get into his secret room which contains a slang talking vending soda-machine. The captain seems to have a unique connection to it, but it starts talking shit on him and then falls over, pinning him to the floor. 

So, he ends up trapped under this for days, and then years. The soda machine randomly spits out soda cans that bash his face up, and a scorpion stings him, annoying the hell out of him, but soon gets him addicted to its venom. A cleaning robot steals the teeth that the soda can knocks out.

The climax of the story is after the scorpion leaving eggs in his lower regions, whereupon there is a showdown between the GOOD scorpion and the BAD cleaner machine. I wont ruin the ending, but it's freaking sweet, though reminiscent of Greek tragedy.

Anyway, catch this show Monday to Thursdays at 12am on Adult Swin on the Cartoon Network.
