Nov 18, 2008 - O H M Y G O D ! ! ! I also remember this show and I can agree with some of the comments in here too... How DID they got away with STAR WARS sounds? Indeed. I also remember him leaving his body, but he had to leave the other body safe... If the unconscious body died, so does his "soul". There's an episode just about that. I must've been bout 5, but I watched it in spanish (Las Aventuras de Matthew Star) on Channel 2 in Puerto Rico. Louis Gossett Jr. plays Chappy. Viva los 80's!!!

Nov 18, 2008 - I always liked Powers of Matthew Star. Too bad NBC never gave it a chance. I watched it every week and each episode was fun.

Nov 18, 2008 - They should have called Child Serivces on my mom and older sister. They made us watch this crap on Fridays. We wanted to watch The Dukes of Hazzards.

Nov 18, 2008 - This show was such an amazing disappointment for a 10 year old. It had this killer intro and looked like a bad ass sci-fi show. But no, it was basically a cheap teen drama with odd bits of alien intrigue. Total rip.

Nov 18, 2008 - I was a total wuss in grade school, but I think that if any of my classmates had come to school with a Matthew Star lunch pail, I woulda kicked the living shit outta them.

Nov 18, 2008 - What a waste of Lou Gossett Jr.'s talent in such a lame short lived sci-fi show.

Kilstryke Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - So if the badguy aliens knew this prince was on earth, why did they screw around sending assassins?Why didn't they just smash earth with an asteroid?

CaptainLudd Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Few people realize this was based upon a true story.

JSammler Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - "...basically a cheap teen drama with odd bits of alien intrigue. Total rip."So, in many ways it was a prototype for 'Roswell'?

Nov 18, 2008 - All actors rise from hole, all! are humans and die like people , the only difference is money ...

Neville6000 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - No, because Roswell had better writing and characters, and wasn't as critically lambasted as this show was, which got ripped a new one by every critic in America.

JSammler Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I agree; I was mostly kidding about the dig on 'Roswell'. I love 'Roswell' and have the entire series on DVD -- no joke.

SpreadingtheMuse Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Problem was, the opening credit space fight was the only part worth watching.

Textra1 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Wow! This so so much less cool than I remember it being. Sometimes old childhood memories are best left alone.
