Pretty good show
Catherine_Grace_Zeh19 July 2007
I used to watch this show when I was growing up. When I think about it, I remember it pretty well. If you ask me, it was a pretty good show. However, I don't remember the opening sequence and theme song very well. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was very strong. The performances were top-grade, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I'm not sure if I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

The Secret World of Allen Strange.

Oddly enough "The Secret World of Allen Strange" makes more sense in context for this show than it did for Alex Mack. I always thought "secret world" made it sound like Alex had her own version of Terebithia or something.

Tell me if any of this show sounds familiar:

1) Allan has a secret (He is an alien) that He has to hide from everyone except two people.

2) Allan appears African-American and his female friend Robbie is Caucasian.

3) Phil Berg is the antagonistic yet dopey villain constantly trying to find out the truth about aliens.

4) Goofy, special effects

5) Realistic, teen plots juxtaposed often with the more fantastic and sillier plots

Sadly, this show featured all the things I disliked about THE SECRET WORLD OF ALEX MACK (i.e.: just general silliness, clueless adults, inept antagonists, the fact Allan never gets caught using his powers in public by bystanders) without what I liked about it.

Erin J. Dean was talented and attractive though.

Good story...miss it

Yes friends, even I do recall when I used to watch the series. Unfortunately, it was stopped pretty soon. I wish I could watch it a little more I used like the chemistry between the Erin dean and Arjay Smith. Even the steps taken up by Allen to learn various new things about the human world. Specially, the father's role strangely played by a mannequin. Amongst others, there was situations when he used to run from other alien species, I don't remember the names exactly. Taking the mannequin as his father on various occasions, sharing feelings with Erin and Shane, curiosity to learn about the world, etc. was something that I always used to love watching.

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers!!!

I may praise every Nick show listed on Imdb (except Clarissa and stupid cartoons) but this show really enables kids to experience drama (without the usual unsuitable content in drama series) while laughing at the jokes and loving the adventure, also many times the series has suspense and stuff, it's fun to watch. 9.9/10!
