Back in the day I think there was a short writers strike everytime the need came for a Small Wonder script. ROTLMAO!
When I was in college I was introduced to "Small Wonder" via reruns on a local station.
I think my initiation was something like this: "Hey, dude, we got some beers and we're going to watch the worst show ever put on television!"
He wasn't wrong.
I remember thinking that you could see Tiffany Brissette dying a little inside as she delivered her ridiculous lines in her robot voice.
Yet she seemed to retain much more of her human dignity in comparison to her other co-stars.

Funny how it never occured to the SW ‘creative’ team that the primary market for a child-like robot would be pedophiles.

Manimal, Charles in Charge, and Jennifer Slept Here were almost as bad.
Didn't Waylon Flowers and Madam have a sh-tcom at one time?

I remember Small Wonder. It was one of the first shows (and I know I'm saying this wrong but you'll know what I mean) that was produced in syndication for syndication. IOW, new first-run eps were on Ch 5 on Saturday afternoons, rather than on one of the networks on Saturday night (like, say, Facts of Life). It didn't totally suck, and it did have Edie McClurg on it.
It actually had decent ratings, but the demographics were horrible with women: young girls and old ladies, but not teen girls or young women.
From what I heard, had their been a final season, whatever her name was (Vicki?) was supposed to have been deleted and replaced with her evil counterpart . . . couldn't have been worse, I guess . . .
