Information About

The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys




''The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys'' is a live-action, Television Series that aired in 1992 , running for only 11 episodes before cancellation. The show focused on Sea Monkeys - Dave ( Rob LaBelle ), Bill ( Peter Pitofsky ), Aquarius ( Sean Whalen ) and their creator, The Professor ( Howie Mandel ). Others appearing in the short-lived series included Stephen Furst , Gilbert Gottfried , Larry Melman and Vernon Wells .

The concept of the show derived from the popular Sea Monkeys product, successfully marketed in the 1970s with a series of comic book ads designed and illustrated by Joe Orlando , later Vice President of DC Comics and Associate Publisher of '' Mad ''. Produced by CBS , the series aired in the United States and Australia . The unusual character designs derive from the fantasy characters in the ads that Orlando drew for Harold Von Braunhut , creator of the product.

The plot revolved around the notion that the Professor had accidentally enlarged three sea monkeys to human-size, and plotlines followed their ensuing comical ineptness in the world. Each Sea Monkey displayed a certain odd character trait: Aquarius could not keep a secret, Bill was afraid of rabbits and Dave would grow excited at the sound of polka music.
