Galaxy High is an American animated series that premiered on September
13, 1986 on CBS and ran for 13 episodes until December 6, 1986.

But it was made by TMS, so I'll post to raam anyway.

The series opens with two American teens chosen from Earth
to attend "Galaxy High", a school on an asteroid (apparently
in the Sol system). One student is a jock (Doyle), and the
other is a bookworm (Aimee). The time is near future, and
the Earth does not appear to be of any importance to interstellar
society (which is non-human).
Upon arrival, Doyle immediately gets into a dominance battle
with cock-of-the-walk Beef Bonk (a giant rooster) and his Bonk
Bunch, whereas Aimee wins immediate social acceptance, gets
a makeover, and joins the cheerleading squad.

At this point, I have to wonder: why did these two apply to
Galaxy High? Both are motivated solely by the desire to fit
in and be popular, so why attend a school where profound
alienation is not only normal...

Funny I can't remember if it played for a full season or not, one of
the affiliates in my area didn't even air the show at all, or moved it
to a different timeslot sometime before 8AM.

At this point I'm more inclined to say, what the hell! It was another
nice attempt from a Japanese studio's U.S. subsidiary to get a show
going on Saturday morning much like with Mighty Orbots a couple years
before (if only to help fund for the production of Little Nemo movie
perhaps I thought).

SAYS HOWARD FEIN: Yes, GALAXY HIGH played out its thirteen episodes in
the standard four-run cycle from September 1986 through September 1987
and did not reappear in the fall 1987 schedule in new episodes or
reruns. In March or April 1988 CBS placed the show back its schedule
(to replace RAGGEDY ANN AND ANDY or somesuch) and reran the same
thirteen episodes through the following September. In the early
nineties, reruns of GALAXY were carried as part of Sci-Fi's Saturday
AM ANIMATION STATION umbrella. (TV GUIDE and newspapers never listed
the specific components. Word-of-mouth of fortuitous channel-surfing
was the only way to know.)

"Otherwise unknown"? Don Felder was a member of the Eagles (

Anime Works used his name as a selling point on their GALAXY HIGH DVD
releases. Unfortunately, to me Felder's music (except for the theme
song) is one of the show's drawbacks. For GH, Felder decided not to
"Take It Easy" in the Eagles' country rock style, but to "Take It to
the Limit" with a pervasive, heavily synthesized score that makes the
series sound as if the "New Kid in Town" characters are trapped in a
video arcade. You practically need a "Tequila Sunrise" to endure it.
Maybe "One of These Nights" the music will give me a "Peaceful Easy
Feeling", but for now I wish the obnoxious music was "Already Gone".

THE Floyd Gottdfredon? The same one who did the classic Mickey Mouse
adventure comics in the 30s?

Eh, it was the 80's! Too many shows often sounded like that to me.

Some quickies for now...

Dig some of these credits:

Director Saburo Hashimoto directed several episodes of Gargoyles.

Director Toshiyuki Hiruma helped out with some episodes of Extreme
Ghostbusters, and possibly Project Geeker.

Disagreeing with Mark Lungo for a second, I don't hate the score

CBS must have hated the synthesized vocals and lyrics as well. About
halfway through the initial yearlong run, it was replaced in the
opening title sequence with quick episode clips under a more
conventional instrumental version of the theme. Both versions ended
with a pep rally-esque chant of the series' title under the title card
itself.
