Me either. It's so distracting.

I wonder what the chances are of Antenna TV showing this? It seems they are showing or will be showing some long forgotten shows.

Melis

I hope. They have gotten many old faves.

Was it just me or did a lot of shows back then have some kind of burger/pizza/soda joint they went to?

Melis

I think you're right.

The theme song used in the opening credits of Out of This World was a new adaptation of the Academy Award winning song “Swinging on a Star.”

Barrybgb

Yep. I always liked that song too. "Would you like to swing on a star/Carry moonbeams home in a jar...."

Melis

It's a great song. Fun to sing

Burt Reynolds, who provided the voice for Evie's dad Troy, asked for his name not to be included in the credits. He simply did it as a favor to the producers.

Melis

That was nice of him.

Didn't know that, that's pretty cool. I used to love this show and wished that's I'd have Evie's powers.

Melis

I wanted her powers, too. THat would have been so fun.

This was a show that didn't get a series finale. Instead, it ended on a cliffhanger. It was Evie's 18th birthday, and her alien dad Troy beams in (although he was seen as a lighted outline). Her mom is accidentally beamed to Troy's planet when she steps into the machine to turn it off and Troy is stuck on earth.

Melis

How terrible! I hate when there's no ending.
