I liked Small Wonder. It was a cheap show but when I was a child, I found it very entertaining. However, now that I'm in my 40's, I can't imagine what it would be like to watch it today.

This is the kind of thing Tim & Eric from Adult Swim specialize in. Except this is pure, raw and uncut.
The show's dynamic was steeped in luciferian transhumanism agendas. Artificial life used for degraded servitude and exploitation, down to the humiliating uniform. Yes, I assumed the father was interested in child android sexual exploitation - it was in the mix.
I see a big budget reboot by Guillermo Del Toro - with Vicki realizing her plight and summarily executing her exploiters with laser-tipped fingers, death ray eyes, etc. She goes on the run, but she'll never be free. Until she launches herself into space.

I'm actually watching this now and I've observed several things:
—At least they're throwing shade at tobacco instead of weed. —The father wears blue to bed and the mother wears pink. In spite of that, the father must be the queeniest closet queen who ever queened. Seriously, he makes Jim J. Bullock look like Mr. T! I imagine he must be sucking a lot of cock in the bathroom stalls at his job. And if Dick Christie isn't family, I'll eat my hair ribbons. —Harriet is a stalker by the same logic that Steve Urkel is also one. Too bad for Jamie that [italic]Fatal Attraction[/italic] was a year away. —Which Bette Davis movie are they talking about?

The more I get sucked into this show's consistent-but-demented internal logic (godDAMN you YouTube!), I wondered about this:
—Ted Lawson is not only gay, but a cross-dresser as well. I bet Joan doesn't have any unstretched pairs of pantyhose.
—How was this show any worse than any of the other low-budget gimmick/fantasy sitcoms of the area? [italic]ALF[/italic] was the only one that was good enough for the networks, but that had Jerry Stahl and a bunch of people who later wrote for [italic]The Simpsons[/italic]. But what about the other first-run syndicated fantasy shows; were they better or worse?
—They have a fat redheaded kid named Warren who looks just like the fat redheaded kid on [italic]Fresh off the Boat[/italic].

They explained that on the show if you were paying attention. With a turn of a dial, Vicki can grow big. Turn the dial the other way and Vicki shrinks. They had her shrink down into the size of a mouse.
