Funny true story.....

This is a funny true story about a good friend of mine. About 12 years ago, my friend was at the complex of his father's new apartment in Sierra Madre in Los Angeles County, California. He was outside when he saw the actor who plays Vicky's father (well, not really her father, he's a human & she's a robot, but you know what I mean). The actor was moving into his new apartment there and was carrying a cardboard box when he saw my friend looking at him and he told my friend: "Vicky's in here." I swear this really happened.

The dad was hilarious on this show. I remember he would always get mad when the neighbor came over. They hated her so much.

I believe it but the joke would have been kinda lost on your friend if he'd never seen Small Wonder. I'm sure there are people out there who don't know of the show.

You're wrong. Eveyone in the world knows this show. Therefore, everyone would get the joke. And everyone would hence laugh.

Too bad they don't show it on TV no more, it got kinda boring after awhile.

This show was universal,I used to watch it in France,dubbed (that was quinda weird i must say)when I was little.

I remember back then the show was still aired -- and on frequently -- on national, non-cable/satellite TV. I watched it about every day. And everyone knew of it.

Haha!

This gets even funnier if you picture him saying it in a Jack Nichauls-sort of voice.

Yeah, I probably screwed up the name, but you know who I mean.

EDIT: Er, Jack Nicholson. I wasn't intending to make a golf reference, but you got it anyway.
