seaQuest DSV was 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 originally mixed high drama with realistic scientific fact. It starred Roy Scheider (best known for his role as Police Chief Brody in Jaws) as Nathan Bridger, captain of the eponymous 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.
The series had a troubled beginning. Without the interest of Steven Spielberg, who acted as an executive producer, it might never have made it to the screen at all. Filming of the first season was marked by producer disputes, changes at the helm (off-screen), and even an earthquake. On its debut, it was panned by the critics, who dubbed it "Voyage to the Bottom of the Ratings" (in reference to a similar 1960s TV series, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea), and criticised everything from the characterisation of the show's female characters to Darwin, the show's dolphin. The show was nonetheless sufficiently popular to last two and a half seasons, being abruptly cancelled in the middle of the third.
Roy Scheider narrated the voiceover during each first season's episodes' opening credits:
