Tonight, July 27, on Svengoolie: "Earth Girls Are Easy"

THE SVEN SQUAD HITS PRIMETIME TO PROVE "EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY"-TONIGHT!

Posted on July 26, 2025

Tonight on MeTV- instead of their usual second half of a double feature status- I’ll be stepping aside so that the Sven Squad- Gwengoolie, Ignatus Malvolio Prankenstein (also known as Imp) and the semi-clueless Nostalgiaferatoo can hit prime time for a very special screening of an ‘80s sci-fi comedy with big name stars and even musical numbers! Based on a song by comedienne (not Downtown) Julie Brown, it’s the story of a trio of fuzzy aliens who are attracted to the earth after seeing our planet’s women- and crash land their spaceship into the pool of a young woman who’s just suffered heartbreak! The aliens become her house guests and attempt to blend in with human society- as they get the idea that “Earth Girls are Easy”!

We see a manicurist Valerie getting a makeover in an attempt to rekindle the spark of romance with her fiancé. Then, however, she discovers that he has been cheating on her- and tosses him out of their home.

Meanwhile, three hirsute aliens from a distant planet, Mac, Zeebo, and Wiplock, are roaming the universe in their spaceship. They have had no female company in a while, and when they pick up broadcasts from the earth that show them terrestrial females- they decide to investigate these “hairless” beauties.

Unfortunately, it’s a rough arrival on Earth- as they crash into the swimming pool of Valerie’s home! Ther poor frightened woman gets over her fear and actually brings them into her home, while calling her surfer dude pal Woody to come drain the pool, so the aliens can repair their ship.

I've been a fan of hers since the early 1980s.

but I crashed when the Dodgers - Red Sox game ended around 7. (Man, I feel bad for Mookie.)

I've crushed on Julie Brown since seeing her on MTv with her "Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" video, and on Geena Davis since seing her in something on PBS in the '80s. But I can't stand Jim Carrey, a.k.a. Jerry Lewis 2.0. Still, it's a funny, quirky movie.

Anyway, every Saturday, I binge-watch "Llaw and Order: SVU "
