Sea-Monkeys On TV

Honey I Shrunk the Kids, the television series:
SYNOPSIS: An upcoming Birthday bash at "Marv Fishland's Fun Park" pits two teenage girls against one another in battle for popularity. Using an un-tested "swim fish cream" gives them the ability to swim like a fish. That is, until the fish DNA takes over and turns them into mermaids. Realizing a mermaid attraction could save his park from going belly up, Marv Fishland kidnaps the mermaid teens to put on exhibit. The inventor father develops an antidote to reverse the girls condition. He and his wife sneak into the theme park dressed as costumed Sea-Monkey characters.

WARDROBE: The Sea-Monkey outfits consist of blue body suits complete with tails, scales, and webbed flippers. The head pieces have three spring-like antennas, each topped with a bright green ball.

QUOTES: "It's Sandy the Sea-Monkey! Do the dance, do the dance!" -- park visitor "Can't a monkey get a break?" -- dad/inventor "Easy buddy. No need for monkey business." -- dad/inventor "My Dad would never be caught dead chasing me around in a monkey suit." -- Veronica, teen mermaid

Spin City: from the 1999 Season
Michael J. Fox's character is contemplating adopting a baby. But as one of his co-workers amusingly points out (in game show host fashion), "What do these things have in common? A cat, a plant, a parrot and Sea-Monkeys." Michael J. Fox simulates "buzzing in" with the correct answer, "Things that have died in my apartment."
