Created by Adam Reed and Matt Thompson, the duo behind Frisky Dingo and Space Ghost, comes a third portion 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 parody of Sealab 2020, Hanna-Barbera’s cartoon from the early 1970s, this irreverent series revolves around a team of marine colonizers.

As with their previous work, Reed and Thompson scoff at stereotypes (the megalomaniac insane sea captain, the harsh-talking African-American woman, and the easy-going blonde blue-eyed ex-cheerleader, to name just a few) and expand them until they’re about to explode. It’s kind of funny and, as I’ve said about his work before, it’s very silly and at times downright crude. And I mean that in a good way.

There are a host of extras, including the original release Reed and Thompson intended to do for Cartoon Network, an episode based on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and a series of charming commercials made for the show featuring the excellent low-tech sock puppet. Kitty. Fun-Fun and some of Atlanta’s ‘Housing Challenges’. The announcer introduces former Chips star Erik Estrada as the hilariously dubious Marco Rodrigo Díaz of Vivar Diego García Márquez.

If you’re a fan of Reed and Thompson’s previous work, this is another one to add to your favorites list. But if you have never seen any of that I recommend that you do it. It’s pretty funny stuff.
