This show came before Ready Jet Go.


* {{Expy}}: This show and its characters are so similar to that of ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'' that if you didn't know any better, you'd swear it was a knockoff (this show came out five years earlier). We have the alien who doesn't understand how Earth works (Jack/Jet), an alien pet (Rocket/Sunspot), an alien computer (Chip/Face 9000), and a trio of kids consisting of a fair-haired NervousWreck (Nico/Sean), a TokenMinority (Yoki/Sydney), and a cute little girl (Sam/Mindy).
