Trivia
Although uncredited, famed comic book artist Joe Orlando (1927-1998), the associate publisher of Mad magazine, figures into the development of this TV series. The unusual designs of the live-action characters in "The Amazing Live Sea-Monkeys" are based on fantasy characters created by Orlando for a series of well-remembered 1960s/1970s comic book ads. Sea monkeys are a variety of Artemia (crustaceans such as Brine Shrimp or Seed Shrimps), successfully marketed as a "pet" product due to the appealing underwater fantasies depicted by Orlando in his cartoon ad illustrations. Photos of actress-model Yolanda Signorelli, wearing her crystal "Sea-Bubble", were packaged with Sea Monkey products during the 1960s, and her image was a partial inspiration for Orlando's rendering of the female Sea Monkeys. Orlando's ad art has been reprinted in Susan Barclay's book, "The Ultimate Guide to Sea Monkeys" (2001).

I loved this show

I especially liked the episode Home Alone. This was especially funny because I was an alarm installer and the Seamonkeys putting in the alarm system themselves was hilarious. The sad part is I've about seen all the techniques used over the years they employed. I would pay for this on DVD easily. NOTIFY ME IF IT IS AVAILABLE!! CBS please consider it... Or better yet just sell me the rights to the show! The show was actually ahead of its time and with a little updating and possible Howie Mandel appearances could be a hit!!! If possible could I get some info on archive purchases? I would be interested in a private copy if thats possible I loved the show and really would be interested in seeing it again!!!
