Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Emmjewels Ditto to all that was written here, and sad to say it breaks my heart, when these stations want to end these memorable shows 'before' they can actually take root. Can only speak for myself, but sorry to say I don't think the 'cartoons' today hold a candle to the 'earlier' ones, because they had a different premise to them and made them that much more worth watching. I really enjoyed watching Doyle and his not-so-human side-kicks, they brought humor to all that they did, and made you want to come back for more each Saturday. As one of the other posters stated "a laugh a minute" and some of the best humor around.
TheFutureSelf Who would believe that the writer and developer Chris Columbus aka harry potter director for the first 2 movies had took part in this.For years i have been looking for a copy of the series, i grew up with this, it is all that stands for what was the 80's.Looking back and looking forward with all the recent remakes of films, Galaxy High would of been achievable as a movie, you would only have to see the film Sky High to see how this could be achieved, What would be great is to have a live action movie of Galaxy High with the director as Chris Columbas, that would rock.We need this movie, for all that is the 80's we need to preserve the past.
richard.fuller1 Doyle and Aimee were the exchange students to Galaxy High. The roles reversed at Galaxy High; Doyle was unpopular and Aimee found the weird alien creatures inviting. Aimee made friends with Booie Bubblehead (if she stayed in the sun too long, she suffered brain damage with her transparent bubblehead), Gilda Gossip (voiced by Nancy Cartwright, now famous as Bart Simpson) and vamp Wendy Garbo. Doyle is harrassed by the sensational group of bullies, Beef (a red chicken fellow whose catchphrase is "Earth stinks!" and called Doyle "Earthworm!"), Roland Rotten Egg and the subtly scene stealing Earl, a green blob (in a visit to the Disneyworld place, the little green blob is sporting a pair of black mouse ears. Too funny!). Doyle is left to become friends with the multi armed Milo de Venus, the rotund nerd and they have to work at the pizza shop. The last stand-out character was the Creep, a flying yellow sponge puff with big feet who croons like Perry Como and falls in love with any girl who notices him. Much of the adult crowd, such as faculty, were cliches, but the "students" more than made up for that. This cartoon, like Dungeons and Dragons, was just too good to be true. Amazing that much of what passes for mature cartoons now is still on a juvenile level while Galaxy High and Dungeons and Dragons were aimed at higher audiences than grammar school age, obviously. And when these shows had the slightest hint of failure in ratings, it was concluded they weren't what people wanted. Other good jokes; the talking lockers (those were grand!), a teacher shows the class how to make ice scream by squeezing the ice cube while Doyle runs from Beef and his gang behind her, "Land Shark! Everybody into the water!", and the Gym's name was Jim of course. An absolutely favourite episode was Doyle and MIlo baby sitting alien kids. A really cute talking baby with tentacles who grabbed anyone who went by and a lizard girl with a blonde haired, blue eyed baby doll were hysterical.If Galaxy High airs anywhere soon, record the episodes to keep.
vediotek This was the only cartoon worth getting up for on Saturdays as a teenager. It was full of quirky characters and bizarre takes on life. It seems to me that Chris Columbus, the director of Harry Potter used to direct this show. Does anyone remember for sure?
