Looking for a show I believe was on in the late '90s, pretty sure the title was the main character's name and started with M. It was a sitcom where some kids had a babysitter who was actually an alien. There were some hijinks with him being Literal-Minded. He also had a stopwatch or something similar that could pause time, and while time was paused he could talk to the people who were frozen and have them unconsciously change their mind. The two scenes I remember about the stopwatch is one of the kids stealing it and trying to convince his crush to go out with him, and the alien using it to make the asshole who worked at the dad's office confess that he stole toilet paper from the office bathroom.
