Looking for the name of a tv show?

Looking for name of tv show, probably 80s.

• When I was growing up, I remember watching a tv show around the time of Mork and Mindy. The main character was a girl (I think she was a teenage blonde). Her father was an alien who couldn't be there in person but who she could talk to, I think through some sort of crystal? I'm not quite sure. Her mother was human. The girl had the ability to freeze time, and she could walk around while everyone was frozen. Anyone she touched in frozen time would get unfrozen too. She was always afraid of thunderstorms because something bad would happen to her. I think she'd start to float to the ceiling? Sorry about the lack of details, but it was a long time ago and I was pretty young. I thought this would be a fun challenge for someone.

• Answer:

  I am certain that you are remembering "Out of This World," which ran from 1987 to 1991. "This show revolved around a teenager, who was a little different from most: she was half alien! She had the ability to stop time. Unfortunately, her father (the alien) wasn't around to guide her, though she could communicate with him. She had a surfer boyfriend -with whom she could not share her secret, though she was often tempted..." TV Tome: Out of This World http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-2296/ "Out Of This World... ran from 1987 to 1991 as a syndicated show, playing on many Fox stations. The central character of the show was Evie Ethel Garland (played by Maureen Flannigan). She lived with her mom Donna Garland (Donna Pescow) in a sunny house in Marlow, California. Her father Troy (voice by Burt Reynolds) was an alien who lived in Anterias. Evie is able to talk to her dad through a crystal cube. Because she is half alien, Evie was able to freeze time by touching the tips of her index fingers together as well as "gleep" things into existence and transport herself from one place to another. Often times there were visitors at the Garland home: Uncle Beano (Joe Alaskey), Kyle Applegate (Doug McClure) the mayor of Marlow, Lindsey Selkirk (Christina Nigra) Evie's best friend, Buzz (Buzz Belmondo), and Evie's boyfriend Chris (Steve Burton)." Jessica's Homepage: Out of This World http://members.tripod.com/~jessicarae/ootw/outofthisworld.html "Celebrating her 13th birthday, goody-two-shoes Californian gal Evie Garland makes three shattering discoveries: her father is not dead, as presumed; he is not human but an alien from the planet Anterias (he and Evie's mother had married and 'blended life forms' when he was on an extended interplanetary visit); and that, being half-alien, she has the power to perform humanly impossible deeds. These include freezing motionless people around her, simply by placing together her two index fingers, 'gleeping' - making things materialise by the power of thought - and teletransportation. From this point on, Evie's life is never the same again, and she and her mother Donna, who runs a school for gifted children of rich 'Californny' parents, have to adjust to the change as best they can. Meanwhile, Evie's alien father, Troy, communicates with his daughter by voice (belonging to none other than Burt Reynolds), his words issuing from a blue crystal on Evie's bedside cabinet."
