I Was a Sixth Grade Alien! (known as My Best Friend is an Alien! in the UK, Nigeria, and Australia) was a British/Australian/Canadian live-action/comedy television show following the chronicles of Pleskit, a purple-skinned, blue-haired alien with an antenna positioned on his head. He tries to fit in and make some friends, but due to his strange appearance, he does not succeed very well. He does make one friend, Tim, who is interested in space and aliens. The two friends go through the sixth grade together. During the series, they solve many unusual problems, from a trans-universal portal game to a blue, crying pig creature from Pleskit's home planet. The show started on July 13, 1999, ended on January 10, 2001, and was produced by Winklemania Productions and Alliance Atlantis Communications' children's unit, AAC Kids with the participation of the Canadian Television Fund, the Canadian Film Or Video Production Services Tax Credit, and the Shaw Television Broadcast Fund. The series was based on Bruce Coville's book series of the same name.
