I just saw the first new episode of Sealab 2021, “Asteroid Smasher/HDTV” on Adult Swim.

When Space Debbie opened her spacesuit to flash Quinn, I started laughing and couldn’t stop until the episode was over.

Holy monkey, that’s good television.

I do miss Captain Murphy though. Who’s the new Captain?

And Season 1 is coming out on DVD … with that and the _Reno 911_ set, I’m going to be a mighty happy TV watcher this summer.

Tornado Shanks, the Captain Murphy replacement (who is voiced my Micheal Goz, the son of the late Harry Goz who originated the role of Captain Murphy) didn’t have very many lines last night.

I thought the episode was great. I really dug the end, with the fake bumper.

So the football coach guy really is the new Capt! I was never sure if that was supposed to be a joke, the way they ended the episode that introduced him (the one where they play football against the prison robots) with him saying how everyone was gonna, “run to your chatrooms and weblogs” to complain about him being the new guy. But I see on imdb that Harry Goz died last September. ☹

Did you notice how Spacelab Quinn was white and the rest of them were black?

“Damn it! I had plans to hit that.”
