Line 3:
 
'''''Galaxy High School''''' was a 1986 [[TMS Entertainment]] [[Sit ComSitcom]] [[Saturday Morning Cartoon]]. Lasted only one season on [[CBS]].
 
Aimee and Doyle were originally at a human high school together. Aimee was a bookworm, Doyle a jock. They get transferred to Galaxy High, a boarding school, where they are the only Earthlings in attendance. Aimee finds herself one of the in-crowd because of her past academic record and the fact that the student body has [[Mars Needs Women|significantly more males than females]]. Doyle is at the bottom of the social ladder -- they don't do football at Galaxy High -- but he can't leave because this is his last chance to graduate (he was not getting good grades). Naturally, most episodes are about his misadventures.
Line 9:
The laws of physics and every other known science are broken repeatedly, and there was [[Mood Whiplash]] at times. [[Rule of Funny]] and [[Rule of Cool]] are trying to be in effect.

=== Tropes: ===
* [[Alien Lunch]]
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]
Line 24:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: There seems to be a good deal of animosity toward humans ("earth-people"), and in the case of [[Jerkass|Beef]], outright bigotry.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]
* [[Gossipy Hens]]: Gilda Gossip is [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. She even has more than one mouth!
* [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]]: Wendy Garbo. She's green only when jealous.
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Or half alien hybrid, or... well, the PE teacher is some kind of centaur.
Line 32:
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] (Aimee... or should I say, ''[[Transformers|Arcee?]]'')
** Not to mention [[Nancy Cartwright]] as Flat Freddy and Gilda Gossip.
** And [[Pat Fraley (Creator)|Pat Fraley]] as Coach Frogface and Sludge.
* [[Humans Are Special]] (''How'' special, and in what way, is sometimes open to interpretation)
** Justified by the sheer novelty of it: Most of the aliens have never seen a human before.
Line 41:
* [[Jerk Jock]]: One of the major themes of the series is Doyle getting his cosmic comeuppance for it.
** Strangely, Beef is a far bigger jock, a far bigger jerk, and in general magnifies all of Doyle's negative traits many times over... but suffers for it less.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Doyle.
* [[Mad Scientist]] (the science teacher)
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Inverted. Doyle Cleverlobe is almost the stereotypical dumb jock.
