Cartoon Network: Adult Swim Series 01 - Sealab 2021 - Palisades 2005
I have never been a big fan of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming. Irreverent humor just isn't my thing. That said, I love the fact that shows like Harvey Birdman, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and Sealab 2021 exist because they breathe new life into the kind of classic cartoons that I love. Without the goofy antics of this late-night programming, we would never ever ever be getting toys of these classic Hanna-Barbera characters. For those uninitiated, shows like Sealab 2021 take original animation (in this case, from Hanna-Barbera's 1972 sleeper hit, Sealab 2020) and repurpose it into comical nonsense by means of splicing, dubbing, and adding new animation. My brothers love this stuff, but it just isn't my cup of tea. Sealab 2020 was an underwater adventure series reminiscent of Star Trek. Sealab 2021 was a parody of that same setup, but set 1 year later when all the characters were getting lax with their underwater responsibilities. Debbie Dupree is actually the character Gail from the original show.
