Starman

Starman is an American science fiction television series, starring Robert Hays and Christopher Daniel Barnes. The series ran on the ABC network from 1986 to 1987. The was an adaptation and sequel to a movie of the same name produced in 1984.

The series takes place fifteen years after the film's story and features the return of the alien in the body of a deceased photojournalist named Paul Forrester to spend time with his now teenage son Scott Hayden as they try to avoid a U.S. government agent and find the missing Jenny Hayden.

Each episode of the series had the fugitive father and son moving from place to place meeting people that were in need of some assistance, while Scott tries to explain to his alien father what it means to be a human being.

In a two part episode "Starscape", Paul and Scott find Jenny Hayden living as an artist, under the name Karen Iseley, in Arizona.

One more episode, "The Test", aired after the two part episode, that tried to pave the way for a second season, but the series was cancelled.
