UpscAlien in da House

TV Show Information Genre: Sitcom

UpscAlien in da House is a sitcom which originally aired in the 1990s. Re-runs of the show are shown on Tube Town.

Plot

The show is about a young alien named Trey who is from "the fanciest planet in the Milky Way". Trey stole his father's spaceship, took it for a joyride and flew to Earth, where he saw Lake Erie from orbit and landed there to take a swim in the lake. For reasons unknown, he decided to stay on Earth and moved in with an upper-class family.

Trey owns a ray gun which is capable of transforming people and objects. In the scenes that were shown, Trey was seen using it to make a cooked turkey get up and dance, and to transform a neighbor man into a girl alien in a prom dress, with whom he then started dancing.

Theme song lyrics

There once was an alien,

Whose mother called him Trey,

From the fanciest planet in the Milky Way.

Stole his dad's ship,

Took it for a trip,

Saw Lake Erie on his radar and he thought he'd take a dip!

Behind the Laughter

• UpscAlien in da House is a parody of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
• The show also spoofs ALF, a 1980s sitcom about an alien who crash-lands on Earth and moves in with a human family.
• "UpscAlien" is a portmanteau of "upscale" and "alien".
• "UpscAlien" might also be a pun on "rapscallion", which is a term for a naughty or rougish person. It would be a fair characterization of Trey, considering that he stole his father's spaceship and uses his ray gun to transform things for his personal amusement.
• The theme song was sung by Darryl Phinnissee.
