Name of teen alien show?

There was this show from the 80s, a teenage girl was an alien and she could stop time by putting her hands or fingers together, and talked to her alien dad on some magic ball type deal at the end of episodes. I think it aired on a block with Small Wonder. Anyone remember the name of this show?

ah hell yes i remember this show... and the them song:

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather go to earth

An earthling's a creature who is plain as can be
He's not as unique as you or me
His body comes in lots of different shapes
They say his relatives were chimps and apes
But if you take my advice for what it's worth
You could be happy there on earth

Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
You could be swinging on a star
You could be swinging on a star

Wasn't Burt Reynolds the voice of her "father" the alien?

It is a great song. FYI "Swing on a Star" is a pretty common standard. I believe both Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby (even BRUCE WILLIS) have covered it.
