I can't be the only one who remembers 'The Journey of Allen Strange'. It was about an alien who ends up living with a human family. Pretty sure it didn't last too long but had some cool episodes. Wish we could see reruns of it.

Dude, yes! Arjay Smith as Allen was such good casting. He nailed the innocence and curiosity of an alien trying to understand humans. And his dynamic with the Robbins kids was super cool. They covered so many topics too, not just typical alien stuff but like, what it means to be family. They don't make kid's shows with that kind of depth anymore!

They had some truly creative episodes, like the one where Allen enters a computer game. The way they merged sci-fi and family drama really set it apart. It's a shame it doesn't get more recognition nowadays. I swear I read somewhere that some of the episodes are on a lost media archive site, might be worth checking out!

Allen Strange was a classic, underrated really. Not just the whole alien fish-out-of-water thing, but the depth they went into Allen's struggle with being stranded on Earth, that was neat. Plus, his powers were the coolest, like turning into energy and stuff. They did 3 seasons actually, from 97 to 2000. A hidden gem amongst Nick shows. Would love it if they did some kind of reboot or continuation!
