Pretty good episode last night, but what I *really* enjoyed were the "Emmitt Otter's Jug Band Christmas" references. Took me *completely* by surprise.
Also, anybody know when SeaLab will have it's DVD out? I know they need a certain amount of episodes, but I'm not sure if they've hit the magic number yet.

If you include the pilots, last night's ep was #27. If you don't, it's #24. I remember reading that you need 24 eps, but I'm not sure.
Last night's show was hilarious. The sad thing? It wasn't until the credits started rolling that I realized that Capt. Murph wasn't there. I feel bad for not missing him.
I never even noticed that until you mentioned it. I wonder if they'll just go without him? I bet the guy who does Space Ghost's voice could match it pretty closely.
George Lowe (Space Ghost, Brak's Dad) could do a pretty decent Capt. Murphy. I think that may be what they wind up doing in the long run. (Murphy *was* in the episode the week before. Harry Goz must've died in the middle of a production stretch. I guess there's a chance for a few more Murphy episodes, then.)
I was suprised that the show worked that well without him, though. I mean, that was a damn good episode. They've really stretched those other characters out to the point that they can totally carry the show on their own.
The Space Ghost and Aqua Teens DVDs both have 16 episodes. That seems to be the number they're going with. I heard that in about three/four months they're planning on releasing the first volume of Brak and Sealab DVDs. (Harvey Birdman's supposed to be in the next batch - meaning we should get at least seven new episodes by summer. I think they're shipping him with a new Space Ghost set, but I'm not sure about that one.)
(Speaking of Space Ghost - they're right. That was a really weak episode last night. That's what I love about Adult Swim, though. They come right out and admit that the show's not gonna be that great. That bit of honesty gives them credibility when they say something like how they said that last night's Sealab was the best one since Bizzaro.)
The Space Ghost may have been weak, but it certainly wasn't all bad. I think that bit with the Jimmy Stewart Rear Window action figure may be one of the best bits they've ever done on the show.

I noticed, but I kept expecting Murph to pop in somewhere with a "holy CRAP" or something right up until the end.
If that's any indication of the shows minus Harry Goz, I'd say they're not in too bad a shape. That was GREAT.
Is anyone else hoping that they do at least one last episode with the Captain, though? Maybe one where they just splice in his old dialogue, say he's gone insane or something like that. Hell, just show him trapped under the BeBop Cola machine again, wherever the hell that room was.
