Out Of This World is an American fantasy sitcom about a teenage girl who is half alien, which gives her unique supernatural powers. It first aired in syndication from September 17, 1987 and ended on May 25, 1991. During its first season, the series was originally part of NBC's Prime Time Begins at 7:30 campaign, in which the network's owned-and-operated stations would run first-run sitcoms in the 7:30-8 pm time slot to counterprogram competing stations' game shows, sitcom reruns and other offerings. Out of This World was rotated with the original series Marblehead Manor and She's the Sheriff, a syndicated revival of the 1983 sitcom We Got It Made, and a television adaptation of the play You Can't Take It With You. NBC ended the experiment after the 1987-88 season due to the low ratings put up by three of the series, with Out of This World being one of the two that was renewed. After its first season the series was largely moved to weekend time slots, where it remained until its cancellation following the fourth season.

After thirteen years of keeping Evie's identity from her, Donna is forced to reveal the truth at her thirteenth birthday party when Evie exhibits a special, alien power that enables her to freeze time. Evie learns she's half alien and that her father is from the planet Antareus--not a CIA agent as her mother has been telling her all along. She is given her father's gift of the cube, a genetic device which allows her to speak to her father on Antareus. Although anyone can hear her father over the cube, her father can only hear Evie.
Evie misuses her new power to win a gift certificate and a basketball game. Her father grounds her by taking away her power for a week as punishment.
Evie is plagued by a bad dream about becoming a monster when she grows up.
Evie's mother feels a bit neglected because Evie is spending so much time talking with her father.
