For a fan of Alex Mack this is deja vu.

From the creator of "The Secret World of Alex Mack" comes a show JUST LIKE it. Similar premise, similar characters, similar tropes.

In this episode Josh, the youngest sibling, feels bad because He does not have enough money to buy presents. In "The Gift" episode of S. W. A. M Alex, the youngest sibling, does not have money to buy presents for her family.

In "The Feud" episode of S. W. A. M the plant offers a reward for any information on the identity of the GC-161 kid in cash. Ray decides to use Alex's hat as "evidence" to get the reward (it turns out it was a decoy).

In this episode the antagonist, Phil Berg (who is like a sinister and less friendly version of Dave Watt) offers a cash reward of $1000 for any information on aliens. Josh, of course, knows Allen is an alien. So He decides to use a backpack as "evidence" to get the reward money.

Phil Berg is joined by another villain, a mysterious gentleman who is kind of a cross between Vince Carter and Danielle Atron.

It is so obvious that Allen is an alien but of course no bystanders ever witness it and the villains of course don't find out and Allen is safe from capture.

Like a typical S. W. A. M episode it is very silly, hokey, yet sweet. There's the trite message of how Christmas is about being with family and friends and not buying presents.

It is not a bad episode; It is not even really that bad of a television show. I just think it's too derivative of Alex Mack.
