Trivia:

In a 1986 interview with Starlog magazine, Chris Columbus presents the outline for an episode that never saw production: "The Day the School Stood Still". In it, a cafeteria food fight erupts into intramural war and the Intergalactic Board of Trustees decides to close the school unless the kids can prove the great experiment of Galaxy high a success.

Quotes:

[repeated line]
Reggie Unicycle: I can't *stand* it.

One of the most underrated Saturday morning cartoons of the 1980s

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..
