“Sealab” is in the same vein as “Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law”, “Space Ghost: Coast to Coast” and “Venture Bros.” All series are parodies of established works with a modern spin on them.

As funny as all these series can be, I feel that they function better in the format of a TV show. Of these series, I see “Robot” as the hardest to transition to the big screen. The only way that I can plausibly see “Robot” being made into the movie is if the creators follow the “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” route, and make the movie as a parody of an established work. Action-figures trudging along in search of the Holy Grail would be funny to see on screen, They could try an approach that puts more of the TV series format onto the screen, but then I fear it makes “Robot” no different than the “Scary Movie” series.

“Sealab” has the greater potential to be made into a movie, but here the creators also have to be careful. It risks falling into the same trap as “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie For Theaters”. And I can’t begin to imagine the marketing efforts for a “Sealab” movie. Offer free Scuba lessons to people who buy a ticket? A co-op advertising campaign with “Long John Silver’s” or “Red Lobster”?

I don’t envy either series’ prospects on the big screen. And if they eventually come out with movies, I’ll probably end up waiting until they end up being available to rent on DVD anyway.
