Maxie's World is an American animated children's television series produced by DIC Entertainment. It consists of only one season, comprising a total of 16 half-hour episodes including 32 segments (15 minutes each).

Premise

The series takes place in a fictional seaside town of Surfside, California and follows the adventures of teenager Maxie and her circle of friends. She attends Surfside High School where she is a popular straight "A" student, cheerleader and surfer girl, while after school, she serves as host and investigative reporter of her own eponymous talk show, Maxie's World. 

Through her work as a journalist, she routinely finds herself called upon to investigate mysteries and solve crimes, bringing the villains (criminals and perpetrators) to justice (unlike the Scooby-Doo franchise by Hanna-Barbera). Frequently accompanying Maxie in her adventures is her boyfriend, Rob, a handsome and popular football and soccer star at Surfside High.

Additional members of Maxie's circle of friends include Ashley Wooden, Carly Cooper, and Simone Williams, while male friends, Mushroom and Ferdie routinely provide the series with its slapstick comedy elements. Providing much of the series' conflict is Jeri Jeffries, who is envious of Maxie and is often shown manipulating events to humiliate the TV star in an attempt to sabotage her career and get her own TV show. 

*In addition to the comedy and mystery elements, the series occasionally takes the opportunity to address more serious issues, including seven very special episodes which deals with the issues of divorce, eating disorders (weight obsessions and overeating), vandalism, teenage smoking, stress and fatigue, dropping out of school, and shoplifting.

Additionally, the crossover episode, "Beach Blanket Battle", saw the main characters from both Maxie's World and Beverly Hills Teens that compete in a charity fundraising competition.
