Galaxy High is a short-lived Saturday morning animated series from the mid-1980s about two Earth students who transfer to an outer space high school. When it first came out, watching the show was kind of a pain for me since the Detroit CBS affiate didn't broadcast it and I had to watch the show on the Toledo affiliate. Thus, most of the episodes I saw were grainy and staticy. Toledo is 50 miles from Detroit after all. But despite all that, I found the show to be completely worth it.
The thing I like the best about Galaxy high is its top-notch animation. Though I admit its characters and storylines were pretty good too. Yet in the sea of sloppy slopola that constituted a good deal of 1980s cartoons, Galaxy High was like something from Disney! When it got canceled about 20 years ago, it looked like I'd never see the show again. But thanks to the miracles of You Tube and DVD, Galaxy High can now be seen again and again and again.
Now I'm suddenly obessessed with Galaxy High. I can't get the theme song out of my head and -- to use a catchphrase from one of the show's characters -- I love it, I love it! And I wouldn't have a problem if they started producing new episodes even 20 years after the fact. If they can do new Jetsons epsiodes more than two decades after the original, then they should also be able to do new Galaxy Highs. Of course the chances of that are low. But the chances of me publicizing the show are pretty good. In fact it's happening now. (Duh!)

Doyle was a high school star,
Everybody thought he'd go real far
But he didn't get the things from the classes he took
You know he just wasn't interested in his books.
Aimee was the smartest girl at school,
Not very popular, not very cool.
Two kids will be chosen from Earth
To go to school at Galaxy High.
Travelling millions of miles through space,
To go to school in a far out place.
Aimee is the sweetheart.
Doyle's got a lot to learn.
Here at Galaxy High.
GALAXY HIGH, GALAXY HIGH,
GALAXY HIGH, GALAXY HIGH!
