I've seen a lot of crappy posts here, but I just want to say that I also hope "Small Wonder" comes out on DVD. I went on amazon.com a few nights ago and voted for it to come out, and I guess that's the best thing we can do right now. When you ask them to email you when a show becomes available, you're also voting to see it released. The first show I did that with was "Fresh Prince of Bel Air", and now look - several seasons are already available.
That being said, some of you are really going to say shame on me for this, but I never watched a single episode start to finish that I can remember. All I really remember is the intro and the monotone way in which Vicki talked. (Hey, she's a robot, as we established.) The intro in itself, though, left a big enough impact that I remember the series largely for the theme song, which I always thought was great. There are a lot of tv shows from the 80s that I didn't watch then, but now wish I had, and I end up buying the DVD sets usually either for the show's reputation or perhaps the intro/theme music (Danger Bay and Airwolf are good examples in the theme song department - I only watched maybe one episode of each, but theme songs of both songs are permanently etched into my brain). And anyone who had a crush on Tiffany Brissette, I don't blame you guys one bit - whoever said she didn't show much emotion as Vicki would know better than I, but even I remember that smile she gave in the intro, and it was worth a lot. ^_~ I only regret now that I always changed the channel once the intro was done - I was a typical pre-teen back then, only interested in watching cartoons, and only watched live action stuff if it was a movie, not a sitcom as in "Small Wonder"'s case.
It would be great to see "Small Wonder" come out on DVD, so I can have another chance to watch a great show that my limited tastes cheated me out of in my younger years.

"Jerry passed away in 94"
JAMIE'S DEAD!? didn't see that one coming (Even if it was 13 years ago). Not to sound morbid, but what from?

Devon Odessa went on to have a sizable part (as Sharon) on "My So-Called Life" in the mid 90s. As for the rest of the cast and crew, I believe that everyone who had a substantial role on the show is now on death row somewhere. None of them committed any murders or anything, its just that it was judged that only spending the rest of your life in prison for being involved in putting out this show was not enough of a punishment.

The most successful cast member was EDIE MCLOUGH something like that, the chubby actress who played Mrs. Brindle, Harriet's mom, who lived next door. She had already done many movies and TV Shows. She was in "FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF" as the principal's assistant. She was on an episode of the GOLDEN GIRLS and she was also in THE LITTLE MERMAID. She was Carlotta the maid who helps Ariel put on a new dress. She continued to do many shows in the 90's and even in recent years (2000's). She was in an episode of Malcolm In The Middle from around 2003.
Everyone else - Dick Christie (Ted), Marla Pennington (Joanie), Tiffany Brissette (Vicki) and Jerry Supiran (Jamie) never had success after Small Wonder.
Tiffany (Vicky) appeared in a few early 90's shows (such as Parker Lewis Can't Lose) but she got out of the business. She has not done anything since the start of the 90's
