Boldly Going Backwards

It's that time of the year where you tend to look back.  Most folk look at the best of this year, but why limit yourself I say.  One thing I am thankful for is early adult swim.  Never has so much funny been done with so little a budget.

My favorite show from this period is Sea Lab 2021.  Taking as a starting point the animation from the old Sea Lab cartoon, it just went crazy.  The crew, led by the Leslie Nelson-ish Captain Murphey would generally blow up their under water lab each episode after much fighting and discussion over subjects like "would robots need boobs, even an adrienne barbeau-bots?"

It was certainly a work of nonsense humor that is never ashamed of taking the low road.  Nothing wrong with that as long as the jokes work and work they do here.  Even when, it is just a bunch of folks going .. "Uh oh"
