The Journey of Allen Strange

The Journey of Allen Strange aired on Nickelodeon's SNICK block from 1997 to 2000, following an alien named Allen Strange who gets stranded on Earth and hides out in the attic of the Stevenson family, developing an odd fondness for canned cheese while evading a government agency hunting for him. The network's ad campaign promising that "something strange is coming to SNICK" helped build genuine anticipation ahead of its premiere. The show ran for three seasons before concluding in 2000.
