Sealab 2021

Sealab 2021 is a comic animated series that plays on Cartoon Network during the Adult Swim segment of their programming. Each episode is 15 minutes long, including commercials. Like Cartoon Network's Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, the show consists almost entirely of stock animation redubbed and re-edited for comedic effect, in this case from the short-lived environmentally-themed Hanna-Barbera cartoon Sealab 2020. As with most shows in the Adult Swim block, Sealab has language and content intended for viewers over the age of 18. The show is produced by Cartoon Network's Williams Street Studios.

Characters and Premise

The show is set one year after the timeframe of Sealab 2020. During this year, the crew has slowly gone crazy, and as this has happened, the crew has spent more time goofing off in various ways than doing any serious work.

Main Characters

Captain Hazel "Hank" Murphy is the ostensible leader of the crew. Unfortunately, he's also the most deranged member, and quite unfit for service; instead of providing any real leadership, he's either running a pirate radio show, complaining about his Happy Cake oven, or playing golf near the station's reactor core (among other things). Murphy was voiced by Harry Goz until his death on September 5, 2003 from cancer.

Debbie DuPree (voiced by Kate Miller) is the token female of the crew, a marine biologist, and blonde and beautiful to boot. She fits every bad female stereotype there is; she's impulsive, assertive, and histrionic. Most of the crew wants her badly, but she already has a love thing going on with Doctor Quinn... When she feels like it, of course.

Derek "Stormy" Waters (voiced by Ellis Henican) is one of the crew's assistants (if you can call it that). He's all looks and no brains; most of the time, he barely knows what's going on around him. He's also made enemies with "Black" Debbie as he calls her.

Doctor Quentin Q. Quinn (voiced by Brett Butler) is the brains of the outfit. As the only member of the crew with any formal education and any sort of common sense left, he's the one that ends up running the station (and, in some cases, trying to keep it from exploding). He's also the token black guy. He and Debbie have an on-again, off-again relationship.

Jodene Sparks (voiced by Bill Lobley) is the station's radio operator, and co-conspirator with Captain Murphy in most of his schemes. When he's not working, Sparks is tending to his evil overlord fortress at a distant location.

Marco Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar Garcia (voiced by Erik Estrada) is the station's engineer, macho man and wannabe Latin lover. He's tried to seduce both females on the ship at various times, with limited success. He also has a thing for CHiPs.

Minor Characters

"Black" Debbie (voiced by Angela Mills) is both the only other female and the only other black person on the station (in fact, her head is just a modified version of Dr. Quinn's head, placed on a different body). She teaches school to Dolphin Boy, is very proud of her blackness (she's fought with Stormy over this at least once), and has been seduced by Marco several times.

Dolphin Boy is a little, chubby boy (who looks to be about 10) that talks in dolphin noises. He's a member of Black Debbie's class, and is the target of endless fat jokes.

Doctor Virjay (voiced by Adam Reed) is the station's official doctor and in-house surgeon.

Hesh Hepplewhite is the station's intern, and quite often the whipping boy as well. Nasal-voiced, smart-mouthed and whiny, Hesh isn't well liked by most of the crew, and thus works in the part of the station furthest away from them (the reactor core). Hesh was voiced by independent rapper and Cartoon Network staffer MC Chris for the series first two seasons.
