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 Dray who stole his father's spaceship and took it for a joyride. Dray flew to Earth, where he saw Lake Erie from orbit and landed to take a swim in the lake. For reasons unknown, he decided to stay on Earth and moved in with an upper-class family.
