History YMMV / SmallWonder

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The show has been so popular in India that it spawned a copycat series in the Hindi language in the mid-to-late 1990s. This was largely because it was shown as an after school kids show instead of as a prime time sitcom. The tone and humor of the dubbed dialogue was pitched so perfectly for the Indian audience that "Vicki" became a household name.

* AmericansHateTingle: At least one non-O&O station[[note]]WPTZ Plattsburgh, New York; serving the Adirondack Park region, Vermont west of the Green Mountains, and UsefulNotes/{{Montreal}}[[/note]] would pull ''Small Wonder'' and run a local news program instead. Probably others, too.

* HilariousInHindsight: In one early episode, the parents tell the neighbors that Vicki has laryngitis and send her away to gargle (to get her away from the neighbors), Vicki says "I don't have Gargle in my memory bank but I do have googol" (a "googol" is a number with one million zeros after it). While she doesn't mean [[Website/{{Google}} the website]] (which wasn't around then), mentioning google while also mentioning her memory bank is a funny coincidence.

** David Ruprecht, who wrote five episodes. Ruprecht is best known for his on-camera work as host of ''Series/SupermarketSweep''.

* MoeMoe: A rare American example of the theme, and it seems to predate the modern Japanese concept by a decade or two.

* FetishFuel: We... really don't want to have to spell it out for you as it just makes the whole premise of the series creepier. Basically, Vicki is a robot girl. In a {{Lolicon}} dress. Who has trippy powers. And will do anything you ask.
