Super Adventure Team was an American comedy series shown on the cable television network MTV in 1998. It was produced in the style of Thunderbirds from the 1960s, with live action marionettes, but had more adult themes and suggestive situations. Much of the humor was derived from the characters' complicated personal lives overshadowing their missions to save the world.
