SEA HAUNT
SEA HUNT
1958-1961 SYNDICATED
SEA HAUNT
Cracked #14, June 1960
w: Paul Laikin
a: Jack Davis
Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) was a Navy Frogman who traveled on the Argonaut and dove for treasures and encountered marine life. That was basically the premise of the show.
Buster Crabbe, serial matinee star, had been an Olympic swimmer in the thirties.
This was from Cracked #12, also by Laikin and Davis, and mislabeled.

From Combined TV Shows, in MAD #47, by Paul Laikin and Mort Drucker
Also a running gag on MST3K was impersonating Bridges saying "By that time, my lungs were aching for air." (especially if Bridges was in the movie in question).
Sea Hunt also formed the basis of one of Kurtzman & Elder's Goodman Beaver stories, "Goodman Underwater".
