Small Wonder

中文叫,电脑娃娃
大约是和火星叔叔马丁一样的,有奇异幻想元素在内,所以很是喜欢
那vicky不会笑不会哭(最后好像学会了),但能量超人,电力十足
红色的小裙子,卷卷马尾头发
和满脸雀斑的隔壁小女孩,是天生两类
一个招人喜欢,一个招人不喜欢

这个电视节目里的演员,好像都没有在影视界有更巨大的突破
演vicky的女孩,现在好像是位护士



《電腦娃娃》(Small Wonder)是一部1985-1989播出的低成本美國情景喜劇。該劇講述薇姬(VICI, Vicky),一個看上去像是十歲小女孩的機械人,在其創造者勞森(Lawson)一家生活的故事。薇姬的力氣很大,速度驚人,右側腋窩有電源插座,後背有控制電路板,平時喝機油作飲料,晚上站在衣櫥里休息。勞森一家的鄰居布林道爾(Brindles)一家經常找麻煩,但每次薇姬的秘密身份都得以保全,種種危機都能化險為夷。

Victoria "Vicki" Ann-Smith Lawson (Tiffany Brissette) - A robot modeled after a real human girl. She has real hair and realistic skin. She possesses super human strength and speed and runs on atomic power. Vicki has an access panel in her back, an electric socket in her right armpit, and an RS-232 serial port under her left armpit. Vicki's artificial intelligence is not perfect. She is incapable of emotion, speaks in a monotone voice, and interprets most commands literally. She does manage to blend in to the real world to a point. Vicki attends school, and no one but her family members and a few trusted friends know her secret. Occasionally VICI 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. One recurring theme was that VICI had a superpowered learning system which enabled her to improve upon something such as a new detergent or to greatly increase the gas mileage of cars, to which Ted and Jamie see it as a chance to get rich quick, only to find her improvements were not perfect. Vicki lives in a large cabinet in Jamie's bedroom, and becomes more human over the course of the show.
Ted Lawson (Dick Christie) - Jamie's father. Vicki's creator. A robotics engineer. He originally created Vicki as a domestic servant whose girl-child appearance was only meant to be a selling point.
Joan Lawson (Marla Pennington) - Ted's wife. Joan regards Vicki as a real person more than anyone else on the show does.
Jamie Lawson (Jerry Supiran) - The 12 year old son of Ted and Joan.
Harriet Brindle (Emily Schulman) - The young and nosy little neighbors' daughter who has a crush on Jamie.
Brandon Brindle (William Bogert) - Harriet's father. Becomes Ted Lawson's boss after stealing Ted's ideas.
Bonnie Brindle (Edie McClurg) - Harriet's mother. Written out after the second season.
Ida Mae Brindle (Alice Ghostley) - Brandon's outspoken, know-it-all sister, who is nearly identical to his wife Bonnie.
Reggie Williams (Paul C. Scott) - Jamie's best friend.

Ted Lawson (Dick Christie)
Dick Christie (born 1948 in Long Beach, California) is an American actor. He is best known for portraying Ted Lawson on the 1980s situation comedy Small Wonder. His other television credits include Who's the Boss?, Days of Our Lives, Hunter, Mama's Family, Knots Landing, Newhart, Hart to Hart, The Waltons and The Ropers. He also wrote the 1999 film Molly.

Like many castmates, she has not been heard of since Small Wonder ended in 1989. Marla is not related to Janice Pennington of The Price is Right fame.

Jamie Lawson (Jerry Supiran)
Jerry Michael Supiran (born March 21, 1973 in Arcadia, California) is an American child actor of the 1980s credited with roles close to twenty television and movie performances between the years of 1980 and 1989. He is perhaps best known for playing Jamie Lawson on the situation comedy Small Wonder which aired from 1985 to 1989. Since the show's cancellation, Supiran has not appeared in radio, film or television.
In 2004 reports of his death were confused with the death of his brother Anthony "Tony" Supiran who died that year at the age of 33.[citation needed]
There was an urban legend that Jerry became the leader singer of The Smashing Pumpkins since he resembled Billy Corgan but as a kid. However, this rumor has been proven false considering the age difference between Corgan and Supiran. Corgan was 18 years old during the series premiere of Small Wonder, which would make him too old to play the part of a preteen

Harriet Brindle (Emily Schulman)
Emily Schulman (born August 17, 1977 in Los Angeles, California) is a former actress and current commercial agent. She is perhaps best remembered as next-door neighbor Harriet Brindle on the sitcom Small Wonder, which ran from 1985 to 1989.
Emily began appearing before the cameras at the age of two. Her talents were soon apparent to commercial advertisers, and her freckle-splashed grin was captured in a host of spots that included McDonald's, Mattel, Quaker Oats, Pepsi, etc.
In 1984, at the age of 6, Emily was cast in the role of the spunky redhead Harriet on the pilot for Small Wonder. The show ran for four seasons and 96 episodes. Emily's childhood work, though often later lampooned for its perceived kitsch, was acclaimed by her contemporaries: she twice won Youth in Film awards [1] and was nominated for the peer honor three other times. Additional television credits include Hotel, Mr. Belvedere, ALF and The Wonder Years. Her last acting appearance was on the television series Christy, in which she played Ruby Mae Morrison. Emily also appeared in the 1989 films Troop Beverly Hills and Caddie Woodlawn.
Emily is currently the head of the commercial division at Acme Talent & Literary and has been with that agency since 1995.
Schulman married Derek Webster in 2002. They have a daughter Lasarina, who was born in 2005.
