I'm good, but I'm not all-seeing. If you know of an appearance of Aquaman that I haven't mentioned, PLEASE feel free to mention it here.If you are feeling particularly good, you can attempt to GRADE the sighting according to my handy gradings list.
For instance:
JLA Classified: Cold Steel #1 has a Grade 2 Aquaman appearance (he is part of a team in the story).
Family Guy had a Grade 1 appearance of Aquaman (it was a short scene focused on Aquaman as the lead).
Day of Vengeance Special has a Grade 4 appearance of Aquaman (he makes a cameo that is not essential to the plot).
A hearty THANK YOU in advance to anyone who finds stuff to put in here.

I think I heard one today on, of all places, Food Network. I was watching "Good Eats" and the episode was about squid. There was some sort of Giant Squid theme, and one of the supporting cast for the episode wandered off down the beach. When someone worried that the Giant Squid Monster had got her, Alton Brown replied something to the effect of, "No, she's ok. I just saw her walking with Aquaman."I'm not 100% sure about this one, sadly. My TV listing says the episode is called "Squid Pro Quo".

In this week's Entertainment Weekly, issue #868 - March 17, 2006, Aquaman gets a mention.
On page 22, there is an article titled "Water Log". It features a cropped shot of Aquaman current series cover #17 and a paragraph on the recasting of Toale. Also has two little pics of Toale & Hartley. Then it goes on about other pilot leads who were replaced in their series.

James Krueger (co-plotter and scripter of "Justice") claims to be a major and Aquaman fan and discusses him in the following interview. He gives some hints of Aquaman's future in the miniseries. He also says the Jim Aparo/Aquaman period included some of the best comics ever made.http://www.newsarama.com/forums/...& threadid=67292

In the April 28/May 5, 2006 Entertainment Weekly (Issue #874/875), Aquaman gets a mention.On Page 126, they do a piece on shows with similar themes, and which of the two they prefer.
For Aquaman:
"Aquaman (The CW, drama) Inspired by the comic-book series about a superhero who enjoys the H20.
Ultra (CBS, drama) Inspired by the comic-book series about a superhero who's a single girl in the city.
VERDICT: Ultra. We're down with any superhero who can leap tall buildings and reject men in a single bound. Plus, she'd probably kick ass at speed dating."
So, not a great mention for Aquaman, but then again they don't actually say anything bad (or good) about the show at all. And they also admit that they haven't seen a second of any footage of any of the shows they have in this piece.
Watch for the photo-shop Aquaman at the end of the video.
We had a super hero day at my school and i dressed up as my favorite superhero.. AQUAMAN!!
The June 25, 2006 edition of the TOLEDO BLADE (Ohio) ran an article titled: "Is Aquaman All Wet?: Awkward Superhero Is Becoming Cool."

In a challenge that required one Partner to be chained underwater by weights and the other to swim down and unlock him/her, two sets of teams failed at this challenge. One contestant complained that he could not breathe underwater. The host, Joe Rogan said "Well who CAN breath underwater?!"An opposing team member exclaimed "Aquaman can."
Thought it was fuuny.
This is not technically an Aquaman sighting, but Justin Hartley is seen in his Green Arrow outfit for the first time at www.kryptonsite.com

I've been looking at vintage Aquaman action figures on eBay. I asked the seller if the model they are selling is the first Aquaman action figure ever made. Thinks it is -- calledVintage 1974 MEGO Aquaman Action Figure:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI...AMEWA%3AIT& rd=1
I'm considering buying these, but as I try to estimate what the true value of the vintage items are, if this isn't the first, I'd like to find that one and purchase.
Thanks for any help!

Caught a mention of Aquaman on the November 15th episode of Drawn Together. Foxxy Love burts in on Captain Hero and another of the flatmates (Don't remember who - Xander? Toot?)in bed together. Captain Hero leaps to the doorway and invites Foxxy to join them with the assurance that, "The fin rot I picked up from Aquaman is all cleared up." The door opens up just a bit more to reveal that Hero's right arm is a fin. Hey, at least it's not another ill-informed "Aquaman is useless" joke!
This is from memory so i'll post a correction if necessary when the episode is replayed.

Update on Aquaman's upcoming appearance on Smallville:from the comics2 film site:
"'Justice', this season's 11th episode will be airing in January, and unites Clark Kent and the Green Arrow with returning heroes The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg."
Apparently Martian Manhunter (but not Bruce Wayne) will be in Justice as well.
I wonder if AC and Olivcr will get into a fight over Lois.

Caught a mention of Aquaman on Mythbusters last night (the January 24th episode).One of the myths being explored was the feasibility of escaping from a sinking auto by either opening the door or rolling down / shattering the window. Before one commercial break near the end of the show, the announcer encourages us to keep watching by asking if Adam (Savage, co-host of the program) will learn to “channel his inner Aquaman” or words to that effect.
I believe the episode is being replayed on Sunday evening (9pm?) so we can all check it out for the actual quote.
This Aqua-spotting is fun!
