I remember this show I used to watch. It was a girl, she had blond hair and she lived with her mom. The theme song at the beginning of the show was like "would you like to swing from a star". She could stop time and her dad was an alien or an astronaut. She would go upstairs and talk to him through this gem thingy.

4Welcome here! Funnily, I wanted to ask about this sitcom a few days but couldn't find how to describe the communication device. "gem thingy" is a nice addition to my vocabulary– TaladrisNov 26, 2019 at 8:56

You are thinking of "Out Of This World", which ran on NBC in the late 80s.
The series revolves around Evie Ethel Garland - a young girl who discovers on her thirteenth birthday that her father Troy is an alien from the planet Antares Prime, in the Scorpio Galaxy. Evie's half-alien heritage gives her superhuman abilities, with most of the episodes revolving around Evie misusing her powers and causing some trouble which she spends the rest of the episode fixing

As I just confirmed through the Wikipedia link, the series was also syndicated. I checked because I remember watching it on a non-NBC channel. Nov 26, 2019 at 20:00

This is listed in a few places as "worst sitcom ever". I watched the first one, and honestly it wasn't as bad as I expected. I'm sure there are worse ones out there.– AlmoNov 27, 2019 at 15:35

@Almo There's always "Small Wonder" to lay a convincing claim to that title.– Jacob C.Dec 23, 2019 at 23:14
