Patreon 024: Out of This World - “Evie’s Thirteenth Birthday” (aka “The Show that Had You Wishing You Could Freeze Time”) (1987)

Would you like to swing on a star? Carry moonbeams home in a jar? Of course you would, which is why I'm on Patreon dissecting Season 1, Episode 1 of Out of This World, the bizarro fantasy sitcom about a half-human, half-alien teenage girl who could freeze time.

From alien deadbeat dads, a woman's sexual prime, only children having adult friends, and my own father (the spy), to the brilliance of Phil Freaking Collins, the burden of family secrets, and keeping genetic crystal links safe from harm, I dive deep into the series dubbed "Quite possibly the worst sitcom ever, or at least the most '80s sitcom ever."
