Jamie, however, would rather play with Reggie, his best friend and confidant than to have Harriet chase him everywhere. Jamie also tried to teach Vicki how to be a normal kid, but all she could do is mimic people and do things literally. Vicki also had an evil side to her named Vanessa, who was smart-mouthed, conniving and treacherous at times. But other than that, the Lawsons enjoyed four years of living with a robot and no one outside the family was ever the wiser, not even the ever-nosy Brindles.
Small Wonder ran in syndication from 1985 to 1989 and was a ratings hit. There were talks of doing a spin-off series dedicated to Vanessa named Too Good to Be True but it died in the planning stages.

Theme Song Lyrics & Opening Credits
{videobox}/media/video/smallwonder.mp4{/videobox}"She's a Small Wonder" by George Greeley and Ed Lojeskie
She's a small wonder, pretty and bright with soft curls. She's a small wonder, a girl unlike unlike other girls. She's a miracle, and I grant you She'll enchant you at her sight. She's a small wonder, and she'll make your heart take flight. She's fantastic, made of plastic. Microchips here and there. She's a small wonder, brings love and laughter everywhere. |
