Aliens in America - 1 ª Season

Justin Tolchuck, a 16-year-old teenager, is struggling to have a satisfactory social life in high school in Wisconsin. Franny, Justin's mother, is concerned about his lack of friends and in order to fix this she signs up with the school's international exchange student program believing that an outsider would make her son cooler with his influence. However, the exchange student turns out to be a Muslim named Raja Musharaff, who belongs to a small village in Pakistan. Despite differences between Raja and Justin, they become good friends.

Raja explains to his class how close he and Justin are, prompting rumours that the two are couple to spread throughout the school. Thus, Justin turns to Claire for help, who advises him to completely ignore Raja. This later causes Justin to be more alone than ever because Raja instead befriends the geekiest kid in school. Meanwhile, Gary decides to get involved when Claire decides to call it quits with Jeffrey.

When Franny loses her sense of boundaries and requests that Gary remove the locks from all the doors, Justin and his friends find time for themselves by creating the Rocket Club, which is their secret excuse to hang out and do whatever they want. Raja, however, does not fit in well with the group because he does not like the fact that all they do is nothing. He tries creating a real model rocket, which ends up getting the police involved.

When Raja encourages Anita, the hottest girl in school, to dress modestly and act intelligently, Justin thinks that he may have a shot with her. Meanwhile, Claire suddenly becomes the head of the A-List crowd and Franny decides to focus her attention to Gary's wardrobe once Justin tells her that it's time for him to get his own clothes.

Gary gives the boys a speech about finances, motivating Raja to get a job at a convenience store. Gary loses his job but is afraid to tell Franny. Raja chooses not to sell beers to the high school students and gets fired for it. Justin is cool for a little while.
