The short-lived action/adventure animated series stood out from other Hanna-Barbera cartoons of the early 1970s due to its exceptional production values.
Sealab 2020 originally aired as part of NBC’s Saturday Morning schedule on 9 September 1972 and had a short run of 13 episodes.
A team of 250 scientists worked at a large research facility under the sea, led by Dr Paul Williams (Ross Martin). Mike Murphy (John Stephenson originally, then Mike Road) was the Captain of the facility.
