Me and Maxx is an American sitcom broadcast on NBC starting in 1980. The plot involved a young girl, Maxx (Melissa Michaelsen), moving in with her father, Norman (Joe Santos), who had created a life for himself as a swinging bachelor.

Michaelsen and Santos were picked for the roles when a commercial starring Joe aired during one of Melissa's early projects. NBC president Fred Silverman saw the commercial while watching Melissa's TV-movie and reportedly said "I want that guy with that girl." Another source gives credit for the role to the daughter of the producer, James Komack. Maxx Komack, whom the main character was named after, walked in on the screen tests and saw Melissa playing the role. She supposedly blurted out, "That's her. The little blonde girl. That's Maxx!"
