Aqua TV Show Show is the alternative title given to the tenth season of the animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The tenth season aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim. The season started on August 11, 2013 with "Muscles" and ended with "Spacecadeuce" on October 20, 2013, with a total of ten episodes. The show is about the surreal adventures and antics of three anthropomorphic fast food items: Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, who live together as roommates and frequently interact with their human next-door neighbor, Carl Brutananadilewski.

Episodes in this season were written and directed by Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro. The theme music was composed by the Flying Lotus. Almost every episode in this season featured a special guest appearance, which continues a practice used in past seasons. This season has been released in various forms of home media, including on demand streaming on Hulu Plus.

Production

Every episode in this season was written and directed by series creators Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro, who have both written and directed every episode of the series. All episodes originally aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim.

The opening theme entitled "Aqua Teen 24" and the closing theme entitled "Chasing Apples" were both composed by American alternative hip hop producer Flying Lotus, who has worked with Adult Swim several times over the years. Both songs were formally released on the Ideas+drafts+loops mixtape on December 10, 2013, including the instrumental for "Aqua Teen 24".[1]
