well, She's the Sheriff sucked eggs too, but you're right--it was horrendous and creepy. : >

When I saw the words "worst sitcom of the 1980s," I immediately guessed which one. It was that bad.

Heeey...I love that show!

But I also loved Perfect Strangers and a lot of crappy shows. I was 5, what do you want?

I have been looking at this stuff but I still have no idea what any of it means...

I always feel so left out with this pop culture stuff.

On preview is it a gay thing? :)

With the monotone voice and dead stare, I admit I had a crush on VICI as a wee lad. Is that wrong?

I just imdb'd it. This was on for FOUR years? Wow!

Me too. Even though I was (was? :\) totally and completely enthralled with anything robot or tech, watching Small Wonder (when there was nothing else on, of course) was fuckin' excruciating. I remember being very confused by Vicki, though, but had absolutely no confusion about the annoying neighbor brat Harriet. She demanded an ass whooping or a slow death by choking or something.

And I even liked the movie Short Circuit. Both of them.

So much I spent a futile summer trying to build me a robot based on the design of Johnny 5 that would clean my room, based on plans or a first and second gen neural-net, crude but self-teaching AI brain. Complete with a bar code reading light pen and a barcode system for all of my stuff - even my socks! - long before RFID.

(Why an old light pen scanner? Err, well, they didn't have those hand-held laser scanners yet. The laser scanners in supermarkets were about the size of a TV. No, I never finished it. I never really got past collecting parts and schematics and some lego prototypes and whatnot.)

Perfect Strangers was not crappy! It was brilliantly subtle.

I have never heard of the show before this, as far as I can recall.

Good for you.

I envy the purity of your mind so much it makes me sick. But I think I have a solution.

*brains kmellis with a ball peen hammer and begins growling and feasting on his tasty, pure brains with a spoon*

Back the fuck up, suckers. All mine.

I sometimes feel I live about 3 degrees off of centre. I miss so much. She's the Sheriff, Small Wonder and Short Circuit.

Any Portland bunnies want to go to a lecture tomorrow on Peak Oil and water? || This made me laugh more than anything in weeks!
