    Pretty good show

    I used to watch this show when I was growing up. When I think about it, I remember it pretty well. If you ask me, it was a pretty good show. However, I don't remember the opening sequence and theme song very well. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I'm not sure if I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

    Good story...miss it

    Yes friends, even I do recall when I used to watch the series. Unfortunately, it was stopped pretty soon. I wish I could watch it a little more I used like the chemistry between the Erin dean and Arjay Smith. Even the steps taken up by Allen to learn various new things about the human world. Specially, the father's role strangely played by a mannequin. Amongst others, there was situations when he used to run from other alien species, I don't remember the names exactly. Taking the mannequin as his father on various occasions, sharing feelings with Erin and Shane, curiosity to learn about the world, etc. was something that I always used to love watching.
