Sealab 2020 | comment |
A short lived Hanna-Barbera cartoon, airing in 1972. The show followed the exploits of the crew of Sealab, an underwater research station devoted to studying, exploring, and protecting underwater marine life. The show had a short run, with only 13 episodes aired (and three left unfinished).The show wasn't well remembered except for occasional early morning repeats on Cartoon Network, before the burgeoning program block [adult swim] parodied it as Sealab 2021. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Since the show takes place in an undersea base, it's sort of a Justified Trope. Every one wears a diving suit (orange for scientist, blue for other job, yellow for student). Slightly subverted when each character gets a helmet when they go diving. | |

Broken Aesop: The focus of "Lost" involves Gail trying to train a dolphin, but eventually has to let go of him because he belongs in the wild... despite a fully-trained seal being the Team Pet. | |

Green Aesop | |
Sealab 2020 / int_56b53152 | comment |
Green Aesop: More often than not. "The Capture" plays with this trope, being that Bobby and Sally want to free animals from cages, though the cages are meant to bring those animals to zoos, which benefits the episode explains. | |

The Leader | |
Sealab 2020 / int_60e49895 | comment |
The Leader: The show actually takes a realistic approach to this trope. Dr. Paul Williams is the head scientist of Sealab and if often the one to lead the science decisions. Captain Murphy is the head of security, when there is trouble in Sealab Murphy takes charge of that part of the operation. Williams and Murphy throughout the series regularly ask for one another's advice for issues as one would in real life mission. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: There are clearly lots of workers in Sealab but outside of the primary cast most only get shown in one episode to never be mentioned again. The same thing happens with the dolphin Gail rescued in "Lost". | |

Know When to Fold 'Em | |
Sealab 2020 / int_e16cd24e | comment |
Know When to Fold 'Em: In "Collision of the Aquarius", while the Sealab crew plan to cut their way into the eponymous submarine's nuclear reactor room from the bottom, the sub's captain, Glenn, tries to break into the reactor himself through the hatch, doubting that Sealab would make it in time. Captain Murphy knows that this is dangerous, since there is a possibility that the reactor's automatic carbon control system won't work, resulting in Glenn attempting to insert the carbon rods by hand without shielding, meaning he would risk radiation poisoning. Glenn only gives up on his folly when he sees Sealab successfully able to get into the reactor room first. | |
