SUMMARY:

Doyle and Aimee are two Earth students who transfer to Galaxy High School on the asteroid, Flutor. Back on Earth, Doyle was the high school star and Aimee was the smartest girl in school, not very popular or cool. At Galaxy High, the aliens accept Aimee and she becomes popular, while Doyle doesn't. The show has hints of a budding romance between Doyle and Aimee but it never is given time to grow, since the show only had thirteen episodes. The aliens in the school, included Gilda Gossip, the girl with the big mouth or mouths. Booey Bubblehead who has a bubble for a head and is absent-minded. Milo De Venus the six armed class president. There is also Beef and the Bonk Bunch who bully Doyle.  The teachers are even more unusual than the students. Ms. Biddy McBrain has a light bulb attached to her head.  Coach Frogface eats flies. Also, Professor Icenstein has to keep his classroom cold or he will melt.  The series was created by movie director Chris Columbus.  The theme song and music is also cool, performed by Don Felder a former member of the Eagles.
