Summary

We saved the best very special episode for last! Wait a minute, check that… this is actually the worst. Take a syndicated show about a goofy loser who invents a perfect robot replica of a little girl, and then have them take a strong stand on tobacco with some extremely interesting takes on adolescent privacy and smoking cessation for youth, to put it mildly. Hey, it’s Small Wonder, but at least it’s short. Next week, on to KNIGHT RIDER! Hey there!
