80's TV: Benji, Zax & the Alien Prince


Floating alien hoovers, Benji and some boy who went onto star in 'Ghoulies 2'
Remember this Saturday morning series? I think it was on around 1983-85, my mind is a bit fuzzy on this.  Benji (behind Lassie, Littlest Hobo in dog fame) is befriended by an Alien Prince (Chris Burton, who went onto star in 'Ghoulies 2', and one of my all-time fav movies, 'License to Drive' ) and his floating yellow robot named Zax. However, the Alien Prince is being chased by two evil aliens (one male and one female) and their evil black robot, therefore it is up to Benji to protect them. Most of the plot involved the two evil aliens chasing Benji around town in their black van. This isn't exactly the best show, you can almost see the wires that make the alien robots float, and they look like the genetic evolution of Henry Hoover. Hilarious!
