The Journey of Allen Strange is an American television series that aired on Nickelodeon's SNICK block of programming for three seasons from November 1997 to April 2000.

He also possesses extremely high intelligence and can read incredibly fast by simply placing his hand on the cover of a book.

He also seems to have advanced dexterity and athletic muscle memory, as he once observed a neighborhood basketball game and perfectly duplicated the trajectory of shots when he attempted this himself.

[3] Allen's ultimate goal is to return to his homeworld of Xela, but he admits that may be a long time away as he stowed away on an exploratory ship which was studying Earth, which had to flee out of fear of discovery.

A nine-book series, based on the episodes, was also printed,[4] written by several authors, including John Vornholt and Mel Odom.
