That sci-fi show on NBC with the submarine that looks like an alien phallus?

The boy wonder who died in real life?

The talking Dolphin recycled in Johnny Mnemonic?

And the rest of the crew?

It ran for two seasons, I think, with the second season being one of the biggest 'WTF?' B movie-type series on TV?

Just wondering. :)
 
It ran for three seasons. The first two seasons were normal. Season three they altered the cast and it turned into b-movie crap. Season 3 was when they changed the title to Seaquest 2032
 
I remember going to a reading for seaquest. I was auditioning to do a small 4 episode part. Funny thing those 4 episodes never got shot in the end. Good series though if not a bit confusing.

Henderson was hot in real life as well. And the cast was very involved with the show.

Now does anyone remember Earth 2?

No. But he was in the Rodney Dangerfield (sp?) movie Ladybug, amongst some other crap including a shitty Karate Kid ripoff. He frickin hung himself a couple years ago at 28 or so.
 
Wait, wait...wait. Brandis dated Vinessa Shaw and Tatyana Ali? And he fucking killed himself?

WTF? Vinessa Shaw is so f-ing hot...
 
I always watched this show. Funny I was under the impression it went on longer than 3 seasons...
 
any word on a DVD release?

I love Seaquest :D

Seaquest DSV ran for 2 seasons

Seaquest 2032 ran for one season.

:lol
 
He was a one of the 1st Daggers, genetically altered soldiers (they had camo skin color and could not reproduce).

Dagwood was strong, stupid and very child like. He ended up as the "janitor" on Seaquest and played a big part in the 3rd season.
 
I enjoyed the show.

If I remember correctly didn't Lois and Clark run in the same years? I remember my sister and I would fight over who watched what. I THINK that Seaquest was on at the same time as The New Adventurs of Superman.

Seaquest > Lois and Clark
 
i was just thinking about this show last week. i vaguely remember the episode with CG mechs modelled after those in Mechwarrior.

No, he's been in pretty much in almost all of Sam's movies. Look for him in Darkman, AoD, and Evil Dead 2 as the Zombie mom living in the basement. All of which were before Seaquest.

Hell the show had two Delouis brothers on it, Ted Raimi, a talking dolphin, and the voice of Sam Fisher was the captain in the last season. How could it have failed?:p
 
I used to love that show as a kid. I remember missing a month or two of episodes and there were a bunch of new people on the show when I started watching it again. I didn't know who was who or WTF was going on, so I quickly lost interest and stopped watching the show. I never did get to see how the series ended.

I remember several episodes, like the one where they found a giant super computer that was protecting two kids that fought each other in mecha-type suits. Most episodes were kind of stupid though and my main reason for even watching the show was the kid and his talking dolphin (I think the dolphin's name was Darwin). I also remember a janitor guy with whirred skin, but that could have been another show.
 
I was just thinking about this show the other day. And how I really liked it.

And how I think Ted Raimi's the shit.

That is all.

Oh, p.s. I was just looking up info on Jonathan Brandis and figured out he was the kid from the second Neverending Story movie. God I hated that series.

To this day it's the only episode I clearly remember. Actually breached into the topic of philosophy for a change. All it took was a fucking time warp in the middle of the ocean to send them 500 years in the future after a disease has wiped out all but two humans to busy playing computer games to breed.

I thought it ironic.
 
Waychel the reason you didn't know what was going on was because of the massive retooling it went through between the 2nd and 3rd seasons.

The 2nd season ended with a cliffhanger ending if I remember. They go to an alien ocean planet, and the ship gets hulled by an alien torperdo.

Then because of ratings they decided to retool the show.

The 3rd season premier, when it became SeaQuest 2032, scrapped the cliffhanger and had them waking up in different places on Earth a few years after they left. The reason they gave for not all of the crew coming back was...they died! No other explanation is given. And they never talk about it for the rest of the season, because they are busy fighting the Austrailians. (not made up!)

And I think the finale had them killing off a couple of regulars in another cliffhanger.
 
wasn't that last episode when they get sent back in time during the Cuban Missile crisis?

It was like an episode of Quantum Leap.
 
The only episodes I remember are the ones where a rogue submarine captain is sinking whaling ships. I think that one has a subplot with the sleazy guy trying to cook himself a cheeseburger.

Then there's the one, probably a cliffhanger, where the Seaquest is sacrificed to stop a massive volcano on the sea bed.

And the last one is from the third season, I believe, where some form of intelligent plant is invading the ship. I distinctively remember the line 'it knows' from the captain when their early attempts to stop the takeover fail.
 
I really liked Seaquest in concept - the idea that the oceans would eventually be settled by man because of space and resources is something that can make a lot of sense but is rarely explored in science fiction, what with the focus on space and all.

The 'retooling' to try and make the show more stereotypically/Star Trekkie mass-media science fiction was a travesty, but sadly something that happens all the time. (Look at Earth: Final Conflict or Andromeda.)
 
SeaQuest DSV was a pretty ok show.

But this thread needs more Sliders.

Best Sci-fi show ever done by fox, except for Firefly.

Edit: Earth 2 can suck my balls.
