Background: The Aquabats! Super Show! is an American action-comedy musical television series which aired from March 3, 2012 to January 18, 2014 on Hub Network.

The pilot, which has yet to be made available for public viewing, failed to generate any network interest and was ultimately even disowned by the band themselves.
