Maxie's World is an American animated children's television program produced by DIC Animation City.[1] Distributed by Claster Television and Saban International and originally aired in first-run syndication in the United States from September 18, 1989 through October 30, 1989. It consists of one season, comprising a total of 32 episodes, each 15 minutes long.[2] In the series' original run, Maxie's World alternated on weekdays with Beverly Hills Teens and It's Punky Brewster.[3][4] The series was briefly rerun on USA Network in 1994.

Developed for television by Phil Harnage, and executive produced by Andy Heyward, the series was conceived as a tie-in to the Hasbro line of "Maxie" fashion dolls.[5] The title character Maxie is a straight-"A" student, cheerleader, and surfer girl, who attends Surfside High School in California. In addition to her life as a "typical" teenager, she routinely finds adventure solving crimes and investigating mysteries as host of her own TV show.
