Info

The Aquabats! Super Show! is an American action-comedy television series which premiered on March 3, 2012 on the United States cable network The Hub. The series was created by Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz, both the creators of the Nick Jr. series Yo Gabba Gabba!, and Jason deVilliers. Based on the superhero mythology of The Aquabats, a real-life comedy rock band which series co-creator and lead singer Jacobs formed in 1994, The Aquabats! Super Show! follows the comic adventures of a fictionalized version of the band, a musical group of amateur superheroes, as they haphazardly defend the world from a variety of villains and monsters. Styled similarly to the campy aesthetics of 1960s and 1970s children's television and Japanese tokusatsu, Super Show! utilizes various mediums of visual styles and special effects, mixing live-action storylines with cartoon shorts, parody advertisements and musical interludes. The series' first season concluded on June 16, 2012 following a run of 13 episodes, having met with a largely positive critical reception, consistently high ratings for the channel and a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Children's Series. The series' second season began airing on June 1, 2013 for a brief run of five episodes. On August 22, actor and composer Chad Larson confirmed via Twitter that at least three more episodes have been ordered for the second season.

The Aquabats! Super Show! Audience Reviews

Steineded How sad is this?
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
O2D When you watch the action packed opening of this show you think you are in for the greatest show ever but it's a bit misleading. The episodes tend to be lacking in action with an abundance of bad jokes but the bad guys are always great. This was supposed to be for kids but I doubt most kids would get it. If you can find it, give it a chance.
jasmine atkins This show is hilarious. its funny how they get inturrupted from saving the world by watching a cartoon and they stop the show halfway to show a commercial for something that is always by gloopy. with Ricky chasing after every girl he see's and jimmy being a robot, this show is very enjoyable to watch. i watch the show almost every day, and i am soon getting the DVD. me and my older sister both enjoy the show, its got everything: superheroes, comedy, music, monsters... a robot. i think its quite cool how each of the characters has a chance to be main character in a certain episode (eagleclaw = eaglebones). each of the characters has unique characteristics (i think thats how you spell it) Ricky's braces, commander's drawn-on moustache and coloured in tooth, eaglebones's long hair, the fact that jimmy's a robot and crash growing all the time. if you like comedy, music and superheroes you will love this show! is there any way this show could this show be any more awesome? ABSO-FRIGGIN'-LUTELY! (quote from one of the episodes)
Maggie Ann This is the most godly show out there. The Aquabats! produced their show quite effectively, because they created the most hilarious, thrilling, and adorable show ever with music that stays in my head for weeks at a time. <3 Christian, Jimmy, Ricky, Crash, and Ian <3 They are all phenomenal. Please watch this Show! If you like music, action, comedy, laughs, outrageousness, and pure joy, you will love this show. It is odd yes, but so am I. 13 episodes in the first season, me and thousands of others are impatiently waiting to hear if they are making a second season which they better. Long story short. This is the best show you will ever watch.
Gabe F This is one of those shows that at first, you gotta wonder, "How on Earth did they get the money and backing for this?", but when you sit down and watch it, it all makes sense. As a fan of The Aquabats (the band) since I first saw them on an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba, where they played their toddler oriented "Pool Party", and about 2 years ago I got more serious, listening to all of their music and I am not ashamed to say that I know the lyrics to over two thirds their songs by heart. Now to the show. As a fan of the old Adam West Batman series, as well as a person who values aspects of childhood, I have to say that I love this show. For one thing, the Batman references are all too obvious and cool, especially when they had John Heder as a guest star, which is doubtlessly a more subtle shout out to the guest stars on the old Batman series. The real value of this show, and their music, has to do with a deeper message that these 5 crazily dressed musicians convey. They show the value of all the simple childhood interests that we all had. People today are so bent up about growing up, becoming adults, and "maturing", but in that, they lose desire of what is actually defines "maturity". Don't deny the fact that if you could go back to watching cartoons on Saturday mornings and playing with action figures, that you could. To get to the show, I feel that this show does that. It reminds me of the simple things that made me happy as a child, and it is a 30 minute escape from the responsibilities and stress of the "grown-up" world. As far as the show's content is concerned, it is totally awesome. They have all kinds of funky and unique villains to fight, and there are some really cool songs that they also have during the show. I still get the "brother" song from the John Heder episode in my head every now and again. Another really neat thing that they threw in that I feel is so cool, and totally supports my views of why this show kicks butt, is the "cartoons" that they show. These little clips of the team watching a cartoon during the show is very in tune with the messages of their songs and the show, and the values that Christian Jacobs seems to have in the whole "superhero" persona, in that it shows that even adults and people who are socially viewed as "mature" can still sit down and spend some time as a child. Overall, I love this show, and I really hope that they start to incorporate some of the stories and characters from their songs into the show.Dear Aquabats, make an after school special depicting some cool story behind your "The Wild Sea" song.
