The FIRST
Small Wonder Home Page!

• It was produced for weekly syndication rather than a network, by five production companies working together. Because of that, Small Wonder could be shown anytime during the week. In Minneapolis, for instance, KARE (the Gannett-owned NBC affiliate) normally broadcast Small Wonder late on Saturday morning.
• The show's focus on "Vicki", a robot in the form of a little girl, set Small Wonder apart from contemporary network sitcoms, such as Punky Brewster and Family Ties. This hybrid of science fiction and situation comedy hadn't been done since Julie Newmar and My Living Doll.
• Three of the series' stars played on popular game shows. Tiffany Brissette and Jerry Supiran were opponents on Fun House, and Dick Christie played against Vicki Lawrence-Schultz on Super Password. I had said that Marla Pennington might be related to The Price Is Right hostess Janice Pennington, but I was told that they are not related.

For all its innovations, Small Wonder never got much attention in the print media, except for an article in Stickers & Stuff magazine — from which the image on this page came — and weekly ads in what is now Broadcasting & Cable magazine. TV Guide had done a brief on Tiffany, with the aptly punctuated headline, "The Perfect Child?".

My original links included Small Wonder mentions in "Christmas 2000, or Spot's Third First Christmas", a plot-your-own story about a TV-literate dog, and "The Happynet Manifesto", a facetious attempt to reform Usenet. Here is a photograph of Tiffany Brissette alone. Other links that were on this page have been transferred to the current site at smallwonder.tv:
