A few weeks ago I had a song pop into my head out of nowhere.
"would you like to swing from a star? carry moonbeams home in a jar?"
And that's pretty much all I could remember. I was wondering where this came from and why this was stored in the recesses of my brain, and I finally remembered it was from a sitcom when I was a kid. Something to do with aliens from a different planet, living on earth. Or something.
Ever since then, it's been on my mind, so I finally goog-ity googled it and it was like a RUSH of memories. This show was on in '87, which would have made me 6 years old. How and why I remembered this is a mystery, but I'm going to take it as a sign. I would indeed like to swing from a star.
Watch this and you'll remember too.



"The series revolves around Evie Garland, who is the daughter of Troy and Donna Garland. Troy, however, is an alien from the planet Anterias. As a benefit of her half-alien parentage, Evie develops three powers as the series progresses. She can pause and un-pause time, "gleep" objects into existence, and can transport herself from one place to another. Troy is living on Anterias and is never seen, but Evie talks to him via a crystal cube. Evie is thirteen at the beginning of the series and lives with her mother in Marlowe, California. Visitors to the Garland home include Donna's brother Beano; the mayor Kyle Applegate, a former actor; Lindsey, Evie's best friend; Chris, Evie's boyfriend; and Buzz, who tends to take things literally. Episodes usually revolve around Evie getting herself out of a situation that she has caused."
