Small Wonder(1985)

Small Wonder is a sitcom about a cybernetics engineer who brings home his secret invention: V.I.C.I., a lifelike android child. To keep her existence hidden from his boss and nosy neighbors, Ted Lawson and his family must convince everyone that V.I.C.I. is their real daughter. While Ted's wife Joan embraces motherhood with enthusiasm, their son Jamie sees opportunity—enlisting V.I.C.I. to help with homework and fend off Harriet, the persistent girl next door. The series mines comedy from the android's literal interpretations of human behavior, the family's close calls with discovery, and the unexpected emotional bonds that form as V.I.C.I. learns what it means to be part of a household. Warm and inventive, the show balances sci-fi premise with genuine family dynamics.
