i prefered august because she was funny. Alissa was not funny at all.

Loved Alyssa - Tommy definitely moved up having her as a girlfriend instead of August.

August. Alissa was probably the most annoying character on the series.

Both had merit.

I found August funnier. But I found Alissa to be nicer.

I already had a HUGE crush on Larisa Olyenik from when she was Alex Mack, so Alissa for me. Sorry August.

Alissa.

August was funny for a while, but I think it's a joke that wouldn't have lasted the whole series.

She was supposed to be high maintenance, and she would be difficult for a regular teenage boy to understand and live up to, let alone an alien one. Being that the show was about the culture shock of aliens learning to live on Earth, she was fine for a character for this first few seasons. It sort of fit with the family struggling to understand Earth, for Tommy to have a girlfriend like that.

After a while though, her demanding nature might have gotten a bit annoying. So Tommy having another girlfriend, who was essentially sweet, but found him and his family weird felt a better fit once the aliens were more used to being on Earth. Then the culture shock was with a more innocent, sweet girl not understanding them. Plus all the Strudwick stuff was cool as well.
