Trivia
Edie McClurg left the show during the third season for a full-time role on Valerie (1986). During the last two seasons her character was referred to off-camera, and largely replaced by Brandon's sister Ida Mae.

Goofs
Despite being "made of plastic, microchips here and there", the robot and her costume grew from season to season to accommodate the actress. However, in the season 4 episode "School Monitor", there was an explanation given by the father, who put in a special chip that enabled her to grow to avoid suspicion from friends and neighbors why she never grew and remained the same age.

Quotes
[repeated line]
Mrs. Brindle: No na na no no no!

It's not perfect, but it's watchable!

It's funny when reading people talking about this show, they are so angry and hateful at how much they dislike. It's almost like they take it personally. I have no hate for this show. I think it's fun, mindless entertainment. I preferred it over shows like Alf, which I think is a good comparison, since he was a non-human character lead as well. Most of the jokes on Small Wonder are insult jokes. The special effects, I think, were done deliberately to look silly. It's like the show was done as a parody of sitcoms in general. 4 seasons is a long time for a 'bad show' to be on. If nobody was watching, then it wouldn't have last one season, but clearly there was enough interest to keep it going. That's no small wonder!
