The Journey of Allen Strange is a drama that aired on Nickelodeon.
The series follows the story of a young Xelan alien who is stranded on Earth, and meets up with a young girl Robbie Stevenson, her younger brother Josh, and their father Ken. This family eventually adopts him, giving him the name "Allen Strange". He has extraordinary powers, including the ability to turn into his alien form, which allows him to hover. He uses his abilities to bring a mannequin in a sporting goods store to life; this "animated mannequin" poses as his Earth father, Manfred, for events like parent-teacher conferences. He also possesses extremely high intelligence and can read incredibly fast by simply placing his hand on the cover of a book. He has an affinity for canned cheese, and lives in the family's attic in a strange alien cocoon.
