The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys was 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.

The show aired on a Saturday each week
