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:

Beef Bonk: [Beef has just stolen Milo's drink orders] Double Chocolate, my favorite.
Milo De Venus: Hey, Beef, those were mine.
Doyle Cleverlobe: [to Beef] Milo's getting six more and you're paying.
Beef Bonk: [to Doyle] Says who?

One of the greatest and most innovative Saturday morning toons ever!

I absolutely loved this show when I was younger, even though I still wasn't that young when it was on. Along with "Pee Wee's Playhouse", "The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse", "Dungeons and Dragons", and "Gummi Bears", this was the coolest and wackiest show around. I thought "Alf" was different when I saw the 1st episode as a kid, but then after the 1st season it turned into absolute garbage. "Galaxy High" was not like that. This is one of the most forgotten cartoons ever. I want the freakin' dvd! Some one pick this stuff up, and release it. While you're at it, please release "Eraserhead" on dvd, and put "The Hardy Boys" tv series out too!

Somebody listen to me!
