Created by Adam Reed and Matt Thompson, the duo behind Frisky Dingo and Space Ghost, comes a third serving of Sealab 2021. Sealab 2021 is also a big part of the adult-oriented Adult Swim family (Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Brak Show). A spoof of Sealab 2020, the the Hanna-Barbera toon of the early '70s, this irreverent series revolves around a team of sea-dwelling colonisers.
As with their previous work, Reed and Thompson poke fun at stereotypes (the crazy megalomaniac sea captain guy, the tough-talking African-American lady and the easy blonde blue-eyed ex-cheerleader to name but a few) and expand them 'til they are set to explode. It's funny stuff and as I have said before about their work, it's very silly and at times completely crude. And I mean that in a good way.
There are a slew of extras including the original pitch Reed and Thompson intended to make to the Cartoon Network, an episode based on Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol and a series of charming ads made for the show featuring the excellent low-tech sock puppet Kitty Fun-Fun and some of Atlanta's 'housingly challenged'. The voice talent features former Chips star Erik Estrada as the hilariously dodgy Marco Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar Diego Garcia Marquez.
If you are a fan of Reed and Thompson's previous work this is another one to ad to your list of favourites. But if you have never seen any of it before I recommend you do. It's pretty funny stuff.
