Here’s a quick rundown on the premise of the show in case you don’t know what the hell I’m talking about. Some loved Small Wonder and some said it was the worst show ever – either way, here’s the story of Small Wonder: The very first A.I. Wait till he would get to see Short Circuit! He was a child-actor himself and also worked on a show in the 1960s called “ My Living Doll” that featured a young Julie Newmar (Catwoman) as an android trying to blend in with society. Small Wonder was created by Howard Leeds who co-created Silver Spoons and worked on Different Strokes. Despite being a funny show there was a lot of interesting development behind it, was tough on the child star who played Vicki, and maybe wasn’t that appropriate for kids.
It also had a pretty memorable theme song which gave it a wholesome 50s sitcom type vibe. Small Wonder was rare for a sitcom in that it ran on Saturdays so it was easy for it to find a young market. The show’s creators seemed pretty sure that having artificial intelligence, or A.I., was definitely going to be part of our future. I loved Small Wonder and it seemed like part sitcom part futuristic prediction. Thus begins a look back at an iconic, but weird af, show of the 80s. Small Wonder was a science-fiction sitcom based on a 10-year old robot called Vicki created by an engineer named Ted Lawson who tries to pass her off as his adopted daughter. “ She’s fantastic, made of plastic.” no, we’re not talking about a Kardashian but a sitcom from the 80s featuring an android child.
