Join the crew of Sealab 2021. Comrade Murphy and his heroic
aquanauts need your rubles for their five year plan to train
worker cadres in one thousand new factories and cabbage farms.
And when you have watched this DVD, remember to return it
to your village Soviet for smelting so that we may achieve
our glorious goal: Eight million tons of pig iron...
The
third season of Sealab 2021 never quite manages to
reach the quality attained in season
two. While it does have its moments, the majority
of the jokes never seem to work as well as they could have.
In fact, apart from the references to Star Wars, Fantastic
Voyage and The Matrix, I am struggling to remember
a single gag that raised more than a smile.
The
on-screen dynamics of the crew also seem to be lacking - maybe
due to the fact that Murphy vanishes, to be replaced by ex-football
coach Tornado Shanks. This was down to the fact that Harry
Goz sadly died in real life. In fact, Murphy only appears
in the first six episodes.
While
this collection is labelled as "season 3" if actually
contains the majority of episodes of season 3 as well as episodes
from season 4.
Extras
include pointless audio commentaries and a collection of episodes
that were dropped, are rewritten, because they didn't work.
There are also some Kitty Fun-Fun promo trailers which are
truly awful - imagine some drunk hobos and a sock puppet,
made by a blind one armed man, introducing the show and you'll
have a vague idea of what to expect.
This
is a collection for completists only. Anyone else will find
it a little tiresome.
