RIch at fourfour has a hilariously scathing post about ‘Small Wonder’, the show I watched as a kid when I was home sick from school and no other time because even then I knew how wretched it was, because someone answered no one’s demands to get it released on DVD (this week).

‘You may think that Small Wonder is a show about the trials and tribulations of a family (the Lawsons) that lives with a robot girl, V.I.C.I., whom they can’t seem to shut off and aren’t interested in trying, anyway, despite the burden it is to pretend that she is human and related to them 24/7. However, Small Wonder is mostly about people screaming at each other. Seriously, I’d be willing to bet that to prepare for her role as terrible actress Sheila Albertson in Waiting for Guffman, Catherine O’Hara studied the Lawsons’ next-door neighbor Harriet. Fucking Harriet, the most deserving target for any misguided, bigoted rage for red-headed stepchildren that you may have inside of you.’
