My wife is excited. I may have to rethink our 23 year marriage. ---

You know, I figured it was just mindless corporate execs that were ill-advised enough to go ahead with this DVD project. But after reading the link, I realize that there are ‘fans’ clamoring for this. Their misplaced hipster irony will be rewarded. Honestly, I wish Satan had given us a choice. I would have opted for Bush to have a third term. ---

A show about a middle-age inventor who creates an obedient robotic servant that looks _exactly_ like a 10 year girl? 😉 Why that’s not creepy at all. ---

Perfect party item. Last one standing… um, watching… wins the prize of his/her choice. Likely, that’ll be a lobotomy. How did Robot Chicken miss eviscerating this POS show? ---

I had a friend in college that looked just like Vicki. I’m sure she’ll be thrilled. ---

And of course, nobody ever suspected that this dopey-acting little girl was anything less than fully human. ---

There is a nostalgia buzz around this show, and it has nothing to do with how good or bad it actually was. The DVDs will sell, that is all that matters. ---

> [@KRM](#): > > My wife is excited. I may have to rethink our 23 year marriage. How old is your wife? I’m a 30-year-old woman and I remember loving this show and watching it every week. I’m sure if I watched it now I’d be all “wow that wasn’t as good as I thought it was at all!” but I seem to be in the minority of people who don’t think this show was all that bad. I wonder if it’s only women who were 6-10 when this show was out who liked it, and no one else. ---

I haven’t seen the show in many years, but I thought it would be one of those “it’s SO bad, it’s good” shows to watch with a bunch of friends. Probably not worth investing in the dvds, but I can imagine a few cheap laughs at its expense. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/small-wonder-coming-to-dvd/507259.md?page=2)
