Looking for the name of an old TV show...?

There's this TV show I watched when I was a child and just recently vaguely remember it...A show from the late 80s or early 90s or around there. It was a series (not animated) and I think more of a comedy. It was about this girl who had alien powers of some sort, and sometimes she can make time stop or make things appear or disappear. She lived at home with her dad and if I remember right her dad didn't know about her powers...

Sorry I can't be more thorough...I totally forgot about it til the other day and that much came back to me.

Any ideas?

    Hmmm... the show I'm thinking about was called "Out Of This World" and starred Donna Pescow who had a daughter by an alien and thus, had alien powers.

    Only the mom knew about her daughters powers and the father was always "away" on some other planet or something and only communicated with his wife and daughter through some kind of telecommunication device.

    So I'm not really sure it it's the same show that you were thinking of, but I hope I've been of some help.

    I believe it is Out of this World as the others have said. This is the link to the show. If it's not this one then I would suggest Small Wonder in which the little girl was a robot. Either way I watched both of these shows when I was younger & loved both!

    Dutchboy is right- it was "Out of This World".

    Fun fact- Burt Reynolds played the voice of her alien dad.

    I believe it was called 'Out of this World' and the name of the girl I think, was Eve.

    Edit:

    Yeah, I found it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_This_World_(TV...

    It isn't exactly what you described, but this is the best I can do.
