PacMan2006

This show about a girl who's a robot? Haha, I just thought of this. She lives with a regular family who tries to pretend and play it off like she's a real girl? I remember watching this as a kid in the (late?) 80's.

Just wanted to bring it up to see if others remembered it.

Who doesn't remember it?

i think the question should be, "Who wishes they could forget it?" my memory of it is a double whammy since it aired w/ The Charmings.
Ahh... the late `80's to mid `90's (otherwise known as ABC's "annoying brat" phase).

Small Wonder...that takes me back....I watched it after it went off the air I think, and can't remember anything about it...that's the sign of a good quality show

DVDsucker

According to IMDB.com there were 96 episodes of this drivel. Which begs the question - when is the DVD set coming & will the robot girl do a commentary track?

no nono nono no!

I always hated Harriet!

Let's put it this way:
I still do not think Full House was in any way a bad show (I haven't seen it in years), but I think Small Wonder is still one of the worst shows ever!

TheMadMonk

Can't recall ever seeing a single second of this show, but of course, I still remember it.

In that pic, the Dad look like a giant 9 year old boy.

Let's put it this way: that means no one will pay any attentiion to your opinion.

Just kidding.

I remember this show. I used to watch it every week (of course I was probably about 7 at the time). I'm shocked that it lasted 96 episodes. I never would have guessed it was on that long.

Screw Small Wonder ... let's talk about Out of This World. Ah ... the glory of mid-late 80's first-run syndication. I can't believe how much I watched this crap. I'm only slightly less embarrassed to have watched other syndicated marvels like My Secret Identity and the ultimate ... Charles in Charge*.

* Premiered on CBS with those annoying Pembrokes, but it's essentially a syndicated show.

Darren Garrison

You know, the theme song to Out of This World started running through my head when I first saw this thread. Mainly because I can't remember the theme to Small Wonder.

CaptainMarvel

I think I repressed memories of these shows until this thread.

I think I wish they were still repressed.

Goldberg74

"She's a small wonder, pretty and bright with soft curls.
She's a small wonder, a girl unlike other girls.
She's a miracle, and I grant you
She'll enchant you with her sight
She's a small wonder, and make your heart take flight.
She's fantastic, made of plastic,
Microchips here and there.
She's a small wonder, brings love and laughter everywhere."

Man... this is sad...

Sadly, I used to watch all of those shows.
Even sadder, I took an exam a couple weeks ago where the professor actually made a reference to "Charles in Charge" in one of the multiple-choice options on one of the questions.

BlackCapTen

I liked this show, but more improtantly, I loved Maureen Flannigan, the "alien" daughter.

She was in a few other things, including 7th Heaven I think.

A friend and I were talking about Small Wonder a few weeks ago,
and I was curious what the robot chick looked like in recent time.
All I found was that she is a very devout Christian and works with 'The 700 Club'.

Only photo I found:

I remember liking Small Wonder. Of course I haven't seen it in like 15 years or whatever, but I don't really recall it being that bad.

Conspiracy?

Buddy from Charles in Charge is Bible Man

Scorpio

Used to watch it on Saturdays. Too Close for Comfort usually followed.

Thrush

That little girl was the worst actress in history.

Morf

Any boy named Jamie needs to be punched in the nuts.

WarriorPrincess

I watched all of those shows. Also watched Three's a Crowd, It's Your Move, and Too Close for Comfort. Oh, and Jennifer Slept Here, Double Trouble and Partners in Crime. Mine was a childhood of joy.

The Small Wonder cast has not fared well.

I don't think any of these people have worked since 1992.

mthiel

My Secret Identity was pretty decent until the producers forgot it was a superhero show.
I few weeks ago, downloaded an epsiode of Out of this World and my god it was horrible!
As for Charles in Charge...I watched this show, not regularly, but I don't remember if it was good or bad.
