"It&amp;#x27;s Friday so you know what that means, right? We gotta flashback to a TV show of our youth that I can almost guarantee you have not thought about in a long, long time. And a simpler time at that! We get our sci-fi and paranormal fixes today with over the top shows like True Blood, Grimm and Fringe to name a few--but do you remember when aliens and robots were part of our world in the form of teenage girls?Seriously, do you remember Out of This World? I&amp;#x27;ll let you get reacquainted with the ridiculously catchy theme song and basic premise of the show with the openings from all four seasons of the sitcom right here: Was I the only one who had a girl crush on Maureen Flannigan as half alien/half teen Evie Garland? Was I the only one that tried to stop time on the playground (or when I was about to get grounded) by tapping my pointer fingers together? I seriously wished I could talk to my dad via a cube--even though he was right there in the flesh with me! Outer space communication just looked like the coolest thing ever. Oh, and lets not forget Evie&amp;#x27;s HOT boyfriend Chris--played by a very young, very blonde Steve Burton AKA Jason Quartermaine on General Hospital! Here&amp;#x27;s a clip from one of the very first episodes (sorry about the subtitles)! Okay, so if you were into Out of This World, then you definitely were a fan of Small Wonder too, right? Remember V.I.C.I. (&amp;quot;Voice Input Child Identicant&amp;quot;) but we just called her Vicki? She was the robot child that became a part of the Lawson family. Vicki could do cool things like run really fast and learn new information in record time--but poor Vici spoke in a monotone, took everything so literally and had to sleep in a cabinet in her &amp;quot;brother&amp;quot; Jaime&amp;#x27;s bedroom. You know, because she had to recharge every night. No one was allowed to know that Vicki was a robot so the Lawson&amp;#x27;s had to keep it a secret. Come to think of it--how come no one every wondered why Vicki wasn&amp;#x27;t aging? One year, I actually wanted to be Vicki for Halloween but just couldn&amp;#x27;t figure out how to pull it off. Obviously, I wanted to be able to stretch my neck really long (the way Vicki does in this clip below) and I just wasn&amp;#x27;t that creative with the costume making when I was eight! Oh, and of course, who didn&amp;#x27;t love Emily Schulman (from Troop Beverly Hills, of course) as nosy neighbor Harriet? She totally knew something was up with Vicki! One more season and I bet she would have figured it out! I mean, it kinda couldn&amp;#x27;t have been more obvious that Vicki wasn&amp;#x27;t exactly normal, right? Sigh, gotta love the &amp;#x27;80s for assuming everyone was so trusting and oblivious . . .this was also the decade that had a family living with a wise cracking, furry alien named ALF! Okay, who loved these shows too? Which did you love most? And, which would you love to see rebooted?
