#A small wonder show upgrade#
To explain child actress Tiffany Brissette's aging during the show, the series' producers had Ted give Vicki an upgrade in the series' third season. The show's humor frequently derived from Vicki's attempts to learn human behavior, her unprecedented echolalia, the robot's literal interpretation of speech and the family's efforts to disguise the robot's true nature. The Lawson family tries to keep the robot's existence a secret, but their disagreeable neighbors, the Brindles, keep on popping up at the most unexpected moments - especially nosy next-door neighbor Harriet, whose father happens to be Ted Lawson's co-worker. Despite this, the Lawson family initially tries to pass Vicki off as an orphaned family member whom they eventually legally adopt as their daughter. Vicki's features include superhuman strength and speed, an AC outlet under her right arm, a data port under her left arm, and an access panel in her back. Lawson takes the robot home so that it can mature within a family environment. Vicki was built by Ted Lawson, an engineer/inventor for United Robotronics, in an effort to assist handicapped children.

Vanessa Lawson (Technically Younger Sister And Evil "Bad Seed" Flip Side) Buddy O'Connor thinks that Vicki is his daughter Marie O'Connor. Ted Lawson (Foster Father/Inventor) molded Vicki's face from a picture he got from a modeling agency. Vicki lives in a large cabinet in Jamie's bedroom, and becomes more human over the course of the show. One recurring theme was that Vicki had a super-powered learning system which enabled her to improve upon something such as a new detergent or to greatly increase the gas mileage of cars, which Ted and Jamie often saw as a chance to get rich quick, only to find her improvements were not perfect. Occasionally Vicki had rare abilities that seemed to only appear in one or two episodes, such as elongating her neck to reach a door's peephole, shrinking her size to become as small as a doll or making herself ten feet tall to get noticed by everyone. Vicki attends school, and no one but her family members and a few trusted friends know her secret. She does manage to blend in to the real world to a point. She is incapable of emotion, speaks in a monotone voice, and interprets most commands literally. Vicki's artificial intelligence is not perfect.
