Maureen Flannigan was born as an only child in Inglewood, California. The series is set in fictional Marlowe, California.
Maureen Flannigan was discovered at age 11 by an advertising agent from Mattel.
In Italy, Out of this World was aired under the name Cose dell'altro mondo (Things from the Other World).
The show was parodied in the Robot Chicken episode, "Executed by the State". In the parody, Evie (voiced by Kat Dennings) is asked out by a boy who likes her, she uses her powers to stop time and takes a look down his pants in order to check out the size of his penis. After seeing the size of his penis, Evie says "Uhhh, pass." This is followed by canned laughter typical of sitcoms of that era. Evie then walks off with time still frozen.
