Satirical Homage to Hanna Barbera's Sealab 2020
I came to this late in life having been introduced to it on Adult Swim by my soon to be 15 year old nephew. The inside joke nature (i.e. The character voiced by Erik Estrada referring to his "Ponch" role) made me think that this was a satirical homage to the 1972 animated "Sealab 2020" as presented by Hanna-Barbera, though the creators of the Flinstones could be irreverent, Sealab 2020 was played straight perhaps too straight for the childhood memories of the Sealab 2021 creative team. Favorite episode of "2021", when Captain Murphy is trapped under a soda machine while everyone else in Sealab abandoned their posts to follow a rock band on a world tour. Captain Murphy has an encounter with a Scorpion that leads to a strange love affair.score /10
