Anyone have a clue what the hell Cincinnati hotplate meant? Or what was the reference Capt Shanks said no one would get regarding not being able to breed a cow that’s had growth hormones? For some reason that outfit he was wearing reminded me of that old Redford movie, The Electric Horseman. Did that have anything to do with anything? And has Erik Estrada left the show? Is that why they’re continuing with the Sharko character (i.e. did they _permanently_ kill Marko off)? ---

I kinda thought it was a takeoff on the cleveland steamer. Mayhaps not. ---

A friend of mine wondered the [same thing](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=290407) . Sadly, I felt the need to ask for her. ---

Ahhh, so we’re talking Hot Carls & Filthy Sanchezes here. Never mind… :eek: ---

I think Eric Estrada is really gone, and the commercial they’ve been airing about watching the show just for Mr. Estrada is sarcastic. ---

So that makes Murphy and Marco gone. Sealab’s going downhill now… ---

Yeah, no kidding. How sad. I can’t stand the anime half of adult swim anyway, and now I won’t be able to count on a decent Sealab episode anymore. “When my father got mad at me…” “He’d put his human penis in your mother’s shark vagina?” ---
