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.
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. After that, Murphy was described as having left Sealab to fight in the "Great Spice Wars."
Captain Bellerophon "Tornado" Shanks earned his position as Sealab's new captain by answering a help-wanted ad. A retired football coach and lovable redneckRedneck is a term for people the meaning of which has varied significantly in different times and places. Origins The word redneck originates from Scotland and refers to supporters of the National Covenant and The Solemn League and Covenant, otherwise kno, he has all of Murphy's shortsighted idiocy combined with a Southern charm. Tornado's leadership qualities have led him to coach the crew in a football game against killer robotFor the 2005 computer-animated movie see " Robots (movie) Definitions In practical usage, a robot is a mechanical device which performs automated tasks, either according to direct human supervision, a pre-defined program or, a set of general guidelines, us, declare Sealab a sovereign nationA nation is an imagined community of people created by a national ideology, also known as nationalism, to which certain norms and behavior are usually attributed. Added to this is usually the idea that a national (a person of the national ideology) should, warped the minds of Sealab's orphan population, and asserting that a huge tumor on his head would go away through prayer alone, forcing the crew to shrink themselves and get injected into his body in order to save him. Shanks is voiced by Michael GozMichael Goz is the son of actor Harry Goz. He currently voices "Tornado" Shanks on Sealab 2021., son of the late Harry Goz.
Debbie DuPree (a.k.a. "White" Debbie) (voiced by Kate Miller ) is the token female of the crew, a marine biologist, and blonde and beautiful to boot. Being the token female, she tends to get upset when the guys do chauvinistic things, but being a stereotypical blonde, she's not exactly all there herself (and she tends to hit on the guys as much as they hit on her). She has a relationship going on with Doctor Quinn — when she feels like it, of course — and she's slept with Murphy at least once.
Derek "Stormy" Waters (voiced by Ellis HenicanEllis Henican is an American journalist. He is a columnist for Newsday. He is also the voice of Derek "Stormy" Waters on Sealab 2021 External links .) is the station's resident pretty boy (his actual function on the crew has never been revealed). He's all looks and no brains; most of the time, he barely knows what's going on around him. His stupidity has gotten him into trouble several times, mainly with "Black" Debbie (who thinks he's a racist).
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 sarcastic, scheming radio operator, and co-conspirator with Captain Murphy in most of his escapades (though often as a front to further his own plans). Sparks is never seen out of his rolling chair. He claims this is because he's crippled, but he's really just lazy.
Marco Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar Gabriel Garcia Marquez (voiced by Erik EstradaErik Estrada (born March 16, 1949) is a Puerto Rican actor who reached considerable fame as "Ponch" Poncharelo, a California Highway Patrol cop, on the 1977-1983 US television series CHiPs''. Estrada became a teen idol during the era, appearing on the cov) is the station's engineer, macho man and wannabe Latin lover. He's tried to seduce both females on the station at various times, with limited success. He also has a thing for CHiPs.
