Galaxy High School was a 1986 TMS Entertainment Sitcom Saturday-Morning Cartoon on CBS. The show only lasted for one season (and the one season only has thirteen episodes). Despite its short run, the show has since become a cult favorite.Aimee Brightower and Doyle Cleverlobe are the first earthlings to attend Galaxy High School, an intergalactic boarding school located on an asteroid called Flutor—they had previously gone to a regular human high school where Doyle (a jock) had been one of the most popular kids in school while Aimee (a bookworm who was the smartest kid in school) was at the bottom of the social ladder.But after arriving at their new school, their roles end up being reversed: Aimee almost immediately becomes one of the most popular kids in school at Galaxy High, not only because of her academic skills (which scores her both a scholarship and a new car) but also because of the fact that there aren't nearly as many female students as there are male students at the school. Doyle, compared to Aimee, has a much a harder time fitting in at Galaxy High—at least partially because of the fact that sports aren't as big of a thing at Galaxy High as they were at his old high school. Unfortunately for Doyle, he can't transfer back to his old school, because his grades were so bad that going to Galaxy High is his last chance to actually graduate high school. Naturally, most episodes are about his misadventures.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.It was created by Chris Columbus (yes, THAT Chris Columbus) and one of the character designers was a pre-Ren & Stimpy John Kricfalusi.Can be viewed on TMS's youtube channel.Contrast to the Tabletop Game Teenagers from Outer Space which is this premise but in reverse: Aliens attending human high schools.

Aliens Speaking English: All the aliens are able to speak English even though they (presumably) haven't been to Earth before. It seems they're taught English as far back as nursery school, although the alphabet is in a different order.

Ironic Echo: Earlier in the first episode, Doyle asked Aimee to leave him alone so the other girls won't think they're dating. Later, when she and her new friends were eating pizza at the place where he works to pay for his education, Doyle asked her why she was ignoring him and she reminded him that he was the one who asked her to leave him alone.

comment
The Complainer Is Always Wrong: If Doyle has a complaint about something, he is wrong. Doesn't matter if that something is dangerous, unnecessary, actually against the rules, whatever, he ultimately just needs to shut up and listen to Aimee. When he is right about something - that Fort Lauderoid's star is about to go nova - nobody listens to him.

Fantastic Drug: "Brain-blasting" involves a harness and a formula of some sort which directly beams knowledge and skills into the user. It seems to be psychologically addictive rather than physically, as Doyle starts out blasting for hard classes, but eventually just wants to do it for the high. It's also mentioned that at least one sports star relies on them for his career.

Hold Your Hippogriffs: Several alien phrases have Earth equivalents, but the one that probably stands out most is when Doyle agrees to deliver pizza to an infamously haunted planet and Wendy says he must have the relukas of a mulka, which doesn't get an equivalent explained but may not be too hard to guess.

Smug Snake: James T. Smirk from "Martian Mumps". Totally.

Hence, when he catches the disease himself and becomes a Martian, his own crew, rather than cure him, decide to give him "one last rule to follow... (to) take every Martian in the area to Mars!"

Fantastic Racism: There seems to be a good deal of animosity towards humans ("Earth-people"), and in the case of Beef, outright bigotry. Doyle nearly gets beaten up by a pair of particularly racist aliens for being in the wrong neighborhood in "The Brain Blaster", though technically he was there to get drugs, so... It even goes the other way around with Aimee when she doesn't want to date many of the aliens on the beach during her Spring Break because she finds them unattractive.

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 and a far bigger jerk, and in general he magnifies all of Doyle's negative traits many times over...but suffers for it less.

Stalker with a Crush
 Galaxy High / int_8b68d9a7
comment
Stalker with a Crush: The Creep latches on to Aimee in the first episode after she is the only girl in school to be nice to him, and begins his series-long worship of her. He's usually played for laughs, and portrayed more sympathetically than most male examples of the trope (probably because he's so small and harmless), and becomes more of a Dogged Nice Guy as the series progresses.

Laser-Guided Karma
 Galaxy High / int_90e31482

Laser-Guided Karma: Years of being regarded as a dorky brain because she focused on her grades finally pay off for Aimee at Galaxy High when, not only does she become the most popular kid in school, but as a reward for her grades, the school gifts her a scholarship and a brand-new top-of-the-line sports-spaceship. Years of neglecting his grades and being an arrogant jerk finally pay off for Doyle at Galaxy High when he makes a grand total of one friend, constantly runs into trouble, and as punishment for his grades is not only forced to take a part-time job at a pizza place to pay for his tuition, but receives a crappy space-scooter in order to get around.

Never My Fault: Beef blames Doyle for everything, especially for things that are blatantly Beef's own fault. Averted in "The Brat Pack", where he, Doyle, Aimee and Milo have broken numerous rules so that Beef can fulfill his promise of taking a group of once-troublesome kids to a theme park. When the gang are caught by Ms. McBrain, Beef steps forward and says he will take whatever punishment is thrown at them. Fortunately, she decides to let everyone go to the park anyway.

comment
Karma Houdini: In "The Brain Blaster", Doyle uses performance-enhancing drugs and steals from his friends to support his habit. But since he learns his lesson, he never faces jail time or even gets punished by the school.note Although by episode's end, he finds that he still has to make two hundred pizzas for a shady character, as part of a deal he did for more "brain waves" earlier on. This is mostly because his opponent in the game 'did' get exposed for brain blasting, thus ending up in trouble with the school and the law. It pretty much made Doyle grateful that he stopped brain blasting.

Shout-Out: Dingy Harry of the intergalactic police, with his "Make my lunar year" catchphrase and second pair of sunglasses underneath, is an obvious one, as is Mick Maggers. The Cholesterolians shout "Where's the Beef?". Many of the episode titles are actually film and pop culture references: "The Beef Who Would Be King", "Pizza's Honor", "Where's Milo?", "Those Eyes, Those Lips"note A reference to the 1980 film Those Lips, Those Eyes, "The Brat Pack", "It Came From Earth" and "Beach Blanket Blow-Up". "Beach Blanket Blow-Up" es further with the characters of Frankie Avalunar and Comet Moonicello, whose names are plays on Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, the stars of the film the episode's title references.

Fictional Sport: In the first episode, Doyle plays against Beef in a game called Zuggleball. It's like hockey, but the pucks are replaced with tiny ball-shaped talking aliens who mockingly try to dodge swings and the goals are replaced with bigger aliens that eat the tiny aliens. Psyche Hockey is a variant of hockey wherein two users mentally control teams of holograms which try to destroy the opposing team and score goals. Doyle seems to be very good at it, likely due to translating his own experience at hockey into commanding his players.

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 Aimee and Doyle came. There was one episode with a Martian flu epidemic that was wiping out the capacity for emotion. Humans can't catch it. And a human acting sufficiently jerkish can cure it!

Human Aliens: Some of the aliens at Galaxy High look no different from regular humans, save for some differences. Aside from having six arms, Milo de Venus (the first student to befriend Doyle and one of his coworkers at Luigi's pizzeria) looks no different from any other human. Luigi (Doyle and Milo's boss at the pizzeria they work at) has some weird-looking hair, strange skin pigmentation and also sometimes shoots steam from the holes on his neck. Aside from having pointed ears and a very bizarre-looking headdress (implied to be her actual hair), Wendy looks no different from any human girl.

While on his ship, she meets a guy named James and talks about how awesome Mick is. Later, James reveals that he's actually Mick in disguise. The entire plot qualifies as a Shout-Out, when you think about it. Especially when James first meets Booey and asks, "Are you looking for someone?"
