Would You Like To Swing On A Star?

When I was a lad, I enjoyed the lighthearted fare on the television series Out of This World.

I recently perused its Wikipedia article.

Holy cow! Evie's dad was Burt Reynolds!

Who knew that the inhabitants of the planet Antareus were mustachioed Trans Am drivers?

Some things you just can't appreciate when you're a kid.

Did I comment on this yet? For years my sister and I believed that we were the only ones who had ever seen this show. Whenever we'd mention it to anybody else they looked at us like we were crazy. Oh little Evie, how I longed to be like her and have the power to stop time. I also always thought it was interesting that her mom ended up being governor, and then I think that was that actress's same job when she played the mom on Even Stevens (it was something in politics, but maybe she was mayor?) Anyway. Yeah.
