Out of This World (TV series): Difference between revisions

Line 4:

Short Version: That show you vaguely remember about the alien girl who could freeze time.

Evie Garland, the main character, is [[Half Human Hybrid|half-alien]], which gives her a variety of special powers, which get her in and out of trouble on this syndicated half-hour [[Sit Com]] which ran from 1987 to 1991. She lives with her human mother Donna, and only communicates with her Anterian alien father Troy via a crystal on her desk (voiced by Burt Reynolds, the producer of the show).

Evie Garland, the main character, is [[Half-Human Hybrid|half-alien]], which gives her a variety of special powers, which get her in and out of trouble on this syndicated half-hour [[Sit Com]] which ran from 1987 to 1991. She lives with her human mother Donna, and only communicates with her Anterian alien father Troy via a crystal on her desk (voiced by Burt Reynolds, the producer of the show).

All Anterians have a variety of powers, including the ability to "Gleep", or to will simple, non-mechanical objects into existence. As Evie is only half-Anterian, her powers are less refined than a full-blooded Anterian. Evie's main power is the ability to freeze and unfreeze time by placing her fingers or palms together, respectively. Later in the show, on her sixteenth birthday, she gets the ability to teleport.

Line 26:

* [[Functional Magic]]: Gleeping restrictions

* [[Gender Bender]]: With a heady [[Les Yay]] chaser. Evie turned herself into "Stevie" in one episode to provide a date for her chronically single best friend. Yes, this was real.

* [[Half Hour Comedy]]

* [[Half-Hour Comedy]]

* [[Human Mom Nonhuman Dad]]: Resulting in a [[Half Human Hybrid]].

* [[Human Mom Nonhuman Dad]]: Resulting in a [[Half-Human Hybrid]].

* [[Hey ~~Its~~ That Guy|Hey, It's That Voice]]: {{spoiler|Burt Reynolds}} is Evie's Dad's voice!

* [[Hey It's That Guy|Hey, It's That Voice]]: {{spoiler|Burt Reynolds}} is Evie's Dad's voice!

* [[New Super Power]]: Evie will occasionally develop alterations to her powers or random new super powers due to "glitches".

* [[No Fourth Wall]]: Evie will frequently freeze time to share an aside with another character, or even the audience itself.

Line 40:

* [[Time Stands Still]]/[[Teleporters and Transporters]]: Evie's powers.

* [[Touched By Vorlons]]: On several occasions, Donna Garland had some of Evie's or Troy's powers transfered to her, which she had difficulty controlling.

* [[The Un Reveal]]: Troy, who is never seen, finally makes a trip to Earth in the Finale - where a teleport glitch renders him ''transparent''.

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Troy, who is never seen, finally makes a trip to Earth in the Finale - where a teleport glitch renders him ''transparent''.

** [[Bolivian Army Ending]]: In a manner of speaking. At some point Donna and Troy swap places in the finale, and she is still stranded on Anterias (and he is still stranded on Earth) at the end. We never find out how they switch back because the series was canceled.

* [[Useless Superpowers]]: Evie's practically unbounded "Gleeping" power is reliably unreliable at crucial plot moments in practically every episode.
