Small Wonder: The Weirdest TV Show 80s Kids Can't Forget

Small Wonder: The Weirdest ’80s Sitcom Gen X Can’t Forget

Before The Jetsons promised Rosie the Robot and decades before Alexa answered back, 10-year-old android Vicki (Tiffany Brissette) quietly took over American living rooms. Built by well-meaning dad Ted Lawson, stored in a cabinet, and armed with super-strength, data ports, and the flattest monotone on TV, Vicki turned Small Wonder (1985-89) into one of the strangest cult hits of the decade—despite bargain-basement effects, a relentless laugh track, and baffled critics who called it “the worst sitcom ever.”

Think ALF was odd? Wait till you revisit the show that gave Gen X kids a robot sister.
