How could anybody like this show?

Unfunny comedy about a family and their robot daughter "Vicki". I watched this show on a UHF channel frequently when it first came out (I was ten years old, bored at that time of day, and it helped pass the time). Horrible as it was, I kept watching it- fascinated that apparently some people actually liked it. There's really nothing positive to say about Small Wonder.

EVERY episode features a scene where Vicki is asked to help clean the house or move some furniture. Sample: A family member says "Vicki, could you lift the couch so I can vacuum underneath it?"- Vicki uses one hand to grab one end of the couch and lifts the ENTIRE piece of furniture over her head (with bad special effects). This causes the laugh track to explode with guffaws and chuckles. I mean, it's just so zany ya know? Why,this stunt gets funnier with each episode!

Ten years old, and even then I knew it was one of the worst TV shows ever. That pretty much says it all.

score 1/10
