Why hasn't this been remade or rebooted yet?

Agreed. I remember reading on a SW fansite that the show worked best when "Vicki's presence enters the equation in changing the way the Lawsons act toward others and among themselves". That should be the main driving force behind a new Small Wonder series. Have the focus be on Vicki, on her interactions with the family and others around her, and learning from them and becoming more human as a result. Also, since Ted always saw her as a robot first, have that be an ongoing thing, where the more human Vicki becomes, the harder it is for Ted to fall back on his "just a robot" excuse, until something happens where Ted, finally, sees Vicki as a person and his daughter, like Joan always did, and not just a machine. I think, if done right by a person or group who actually gave a crap, a new Small Wonder series could actually be a really compelling show, with less focus on cheap laughs and goofy effects and more on using technology as the backdrop to tell very human stories. After all, isn't that what good science fiction is supposed to do?
