This show illustrated early 1990s teen life with a new at the time method of cramming humor on many levels into a short thirty minute timeslot. Parker became an icon for the changing sense of cool in the early 90s and saw the nation through a time of transition from 80s materialism and glam-rockers into grunge and "alternative"ism. A rare ratings bringer for the at the time newly formed Fox Network, viewers welcomed change from the mentally devoid traditional family night viewing of the era. This show held its own and managed to build up a decent if not cult following for the wisecracking characters and sight gags/slapstick. The first season was a comic success followed by 2 more seasons of half-hearted "doogie howser" type plotlines, however there were "funny" and "cheezy" shows in all three.

This show has everything! Aliens, time travel, sentient computers, altered timelines, brainwashed masses, etc! They cram so much suspense and conspiracy into each action packed episode that it makes X-files look like a slow moving soap opera. The way they name the sentients after other TV show characters like Jimbo Jones and Harry Mudd is so cool! This show keeps me on the edge of my seat with my mouth hanging open every week and I cannot say enough good things about it. If you like anything that has to do with sci-fi and you need an excuse to get showtime this is it!

Two earth students are chosen to participate in an exchange program and attend Galaxy High School with aliens from all over the Galaxy. The story follows the wacky adventures of Aimee (the brain) and Doyle (the jock) as they adjust to the strange reality of High School. Perhaps meant for younger teens..
