Cast SeaQuest Season 3

 

SeaQuest DSV is an American science fiction television series created by Rockne S. O'Bannon. It originally aired on NBC between 1993 and 1996. In its final season, it was renamed SeaQuest 2032. Set in "the near future", seaQuest mixes high drama with realistic scientific fiction. It stars Roy Scheider [+] as Nathan Bridger, captain of the high-tech submarine seaQuest DSV 4600, Jonathan Brandis [+] as Lucas Wolenczak, a teenaged computer genius, and Stephanie Beacham as Kristin Westphalen, the chief medical officer and head of the seaQuest science department. 

 

Steven Spielberg expressed interest in the project and served as one of the show's executive producers during the first two seasons. Filming of the first season was marked by producer disputes, changes at the helm (off-screen, as well as on-screen), and even an earthquake. The second season contained changes in the cast, as well as disputes between cast members and producers, while the third season introduced a new lead actor and title. While initially popular, the series began to decline in ratings throughout its run, and was abruptly canceled in the middle of its third season.

 

Till now only the first two seasons have been released on DVD, season three still hasn't been released on DVD, seems unlikely it will happen in the near future.


Roy Scheider narrated the voiceover during the opening credits of each first-season episode:


The 21st century: mankind has colonized the last unexplored region on Earth; the ocean. As captain of the seaQuest and its crew, we are its guardians, for beneath the surface lies the future.

 

The show's time slot was shuffled around during its original run. During the first and second seasons, NBC aired the show on Sundays at 8:00 p.m. NBC had originally planned to cancel seaQuest DSV partway through the second season in favor of another show about a "high-tech truck". However, NBC executives were unimpressed with the new show's development and kept seaQuest DSV in production.

 

During the third season, NBC moved the show to Wednesdays at the same time; however, NBC would frequently preempt the show in favor of sports coverage and other television specials. Several of the show's producers, including Carleton Eastlake believe these preemptions led to the show's cancellation. Currently, seaQuest DSV does not air in syndication or re-runs. The Sci-Fi Channel in the United States aired the series for a December Marathon in 2009. The Sci-Fi Channel in the United States had also previously aired the episodes for a number of years.

SeaQuest DSV is een amerikaanse SF serie gemaakt door Rockne S. O’Bannon. It werd uitgezonden door NBC in de periode 1993-1996. Het laatste seizoen werd gerevamped werd de naam veranderd naar SeaQuest 2032. Gesitueerd in de nabije toekomst, SeaQuest is een mix van drama en realistische SF. In de hoofdrollen Roy Scheider[+] als Nathan Bridger, capitein van de futuristische onderzeeboot SeaQuest DSV 400, Jonathan Brandis [+] als Lucas Wolenczak, een tiener die een computer genie is, Stephanie Beacham als Dr. Kristin Westphalen. Steven Spielberg gaf aan interesse te hebben in dit project en is één van de executive producers tijdens de eerste 2 seizoenen.

 

Het maken van SeaQuest heeft nog wat tegenslagen gehad, producers die onderling problemen hadden met elkaar, problem met de hoofdrolspelers en de producers en zelfs een aardbeving. Het tweede seizoen had vele wijzigingen in de cast, en het derde seizoen introduceerde een nieuw hoofdrolspeler. Roy Scheider was het niet eens met de richting die de serie opging. Hoewel de serie initieel erg populair was zwakten de kijkcijfers echter steeds verder af en werd de serie abrupt gecancelled tijdens het derde seizoen.

 

Tot op de dag van daag zijn enkel de eerste twee seizoenen op DVD uitgebracht, het derde seizoen is nog altijd niet uitgebracht.

 

Roy Scheider’s stem fungeerde als voice-over tijdens het opening theme van alle afleveringen van het eerste seizoen:

 

The 21st century: mankind has colonized the last unexplored region on Earth; the ocean. As captain of the seaQuest and its crew, we are its guardians, for beneath the surface lies the future.
