Airing in syndication in the United States, the show served as the umbrella for three series. In addition to ''Maxie's World'' (the lead series), the show also included rebroadcasts of two series produced earlier in the 1980s: ''WesternAnimation/BeverlyHillsTeens'' and the animated version of ''WesternAnimation/PunkyBrewster''.

The title character was a beautiful 17-year-old high school senior who was Miss Everything at Surfside High School (in an unnamed community, presumably in southern California or Florida) who also produced her own daily afternoon TV talk show. ''Maxie's World'' was the only new series of the bunch.
