It’s amazing that the parody sequel Sealab 2021 lasted 5 seasons.

[@Buzz-McCool]

I enjoyed 2021 until the character of Capt. Murphy was written out of the show. It was never as good afterwards. RIP Harry Goz

[@kevinpayne5584]

Hay buddy , have you heard of a show called marine boy ,please look it up please ??? Great cartoon

[@rancorwat7266]

Adult Swim did a great parody, SeaLab 2021. 4 seasons.

[@rancorwat7266]

One of my favorite 2021 episodes is when Capt Murphy gets bored and uses the emergency communications system to start a pirate radio station. 😂

[@Buzz-McCool]

My favorite 2021 episode is "The Policy". Marco: "We're not messin' with those nasty old skeletons!" Murphy: "You're an ass."

I was 6 years old in 1972. I seem to recall watching this show and being bored with it. When I saw the reruns years later, I was able to appreciate it. Hanna-Barbera was trying out drama cartoons with "Sealab 2020", "These are the Days" (A cartoon similar to "The Waltons") and "Devlin" (A drama/action cartoon capitalizing on the Evel Knievel craze).

[@Buzz-McCool]

I watched Devlin every Sat. morning. Evel Knievel was a big deal back then. I got an Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle for Christmas one year. Wish I still had it. Probably worth some money now.

I noticed how knowledgeable you were about scuba diving and gear while watching your Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea reviews. I watched this show as a little boy and it inspired me to break out my trusty world book encyclopedia and look up the different terms and underwater locations they mentioned. It's fun seeing this again. Thanks.

[@stillaboveground2470]

"Deep Threat"... Starring Glinda Likelace.

[@TheMikester307]

Ann Jillian also did an episode of "The Twilight Zone" where her character didn't say a word! Appropriately called "Mute."

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

Id love a run through of live action Planet Of The Apes series! Watched it on my POTA marathon last year and it was quite a good time despite some faults

[@ztyran]

10:04 I thought it ate Pizza. 😂 Keeping with the funny, this show had a sequel parody series that lasted four seasons.

[@stevejones6247]

now we know a lot of scuba

[@TheMikester307]

I remember seeing ads for this show but I never actually saw it! Oh and back then 13 or so episodes was the usual amount for a Saturday Morning Kid's show. Getting a second season of new episodes was a rarity! Really enjoy these videos, David and your expertise with diving adds a lot to the shows that involve diving. I'll think about it next time I'm in the swimming pool (which is as deep as I go!)

[@TheMikester307]

OMG!! I just caught the episode title! "Deep Threat!" How did they get away with that?

[@jonathanzuckerman520]

What about Captain Nice? “Look at the muscles on his arm, they’re like hammers.””look he’s some nut who runs around in pajamas.”

[@dwashbur]

That's no nut, boy, that's Captain Nice!

[@Buzz-McCool]

A young Ann Jillian was in the final season of "Hazel".

[@stillaboveground2470]

I liked "Hazel", but like a lot of shows, it hung around a year too long.

[@Skaramine]

I'm now super excited for Barbary Coast! Shatner and Doug McClure was a discovery in a compilation of one-season trailers. Sealab 2020 is good, but has me thinking of the Sealab 2021 voices. Ann Jillian was my crush from It's A Living and Jennifer Slept Here. Pamela Fermin was yet another crush when I was super young, and I just saw her in the Star Trek episode "And The Children Shall Lead."

[@Skaramine]

If not a breath of fresh air, a nice hit off the Octopus. 😅

[@jayaldridge9520]

Ann Jillian was in a Perry Mason murder mystery movie spoiler she gets murdered.

[@franktproductions5832]

Great review!! I never saw this series either, so it will be nice exploring it with you. For future shows COMBAT!!! Stay well! (The diving bell looks great!😊)

[@dwashbur]

I couldn't wait to set it up. I'll be talking about it and the ray gun in the next Voyage episode, since the diving bell belongs to the Seaview. Again, THANK YOU!

if I put a mouth piece in,I'll gag

[@garybryant5946]

Otherworld from 1985 is ripe for your observations didn't even get in double figures episode wise

[@dwashbur]

I'll see if I can track it down. This is the kind of suggestion I like!

[@SJHFoto]

I've not heard of this, but I will watch it with you. Ooh-Planet of the Apes would be AWESOME! (And thanks for doing Hard Times on Planet Earth at my request)

[@dwashbur]

I'm trying to track down Planet of the Apes as we speak. I love your requests!

[@SJHFoto]

@@dwashbur Well then, I'll make another: Starman, the TV show. My family and I watched that together when it came out

[@dwashbur]

Also on the list. I enjoyed that show, too.

[@yadrak2354]

Since were considering requests: Thundarr can't remember if it was one 'r' or two the Barbarian. Johnny Quest the original 60's series and now a treat for you which you may not have heard of called 'The Venture brothers' can't wait till you see this one. I just know you'll love it.

[@dwashbur]

They're on my list. Thanks! But I've promised that the Planet of the Apes series is next. As you know, it takes time to get through these shows, so I'll do my best to get to them. They sound terrific.

[@dwashbur]

Oh yes, and you were correct: it's two r's.

[@yadrak2354]

@@dwashbur Appreciate the work that you do. I'll look forward to seeing Planet of the Apes in your good time. Also remembered one more there's a 60's version of the Fantastic Four done by Hanna Barbera...wait until you see Galactus in this series! can't remember if they did the Impossible man in the cartoon or not. Ben Grimm is great with clobbering time...don't think you'll run out of fun things to review at least I hope not. ☺

[@dwashbur]

I watched the FF show as a kid. I'll probably look at it one of these days. It's not as widely remembered as Spiderman.

[@Buzz-McCool]

Loved Thundarr the Barbarian! I have it on DVD and rewatched it as an adult. It's fun seeing all the pop culture references from the 1980s, Easter egged into the ruined landscape, thousands of years in the future.

[@theresecallahan8548]

You said the kids weren't mentioned in the intro. But it says, two hundred and fifty men, women, and children live there.

[@G-POWER.46-lx9hi]

AT 1ST. I 🤔 THIS WAS A L.A. SHOW. THIS IS MY 1ST TIME WATCHING THIS CT SHOW... WHERE'S THE SEA MONSTERS.

[@rancorwat7266]

Is it just me, or does Bobby sound like Linus from Peanuts?

[@Buzz-McCool]

The girl who did the voice of Lucy Van Pelt did a voice in this show, too.

[@PatrickMoore-yw6lu]

I suggest maybe to do The Thing animated series, as the episodes are short.
