A television
sitcom that aired from 1985 until 1989. A scientist,
Ted Lawson, built a robot who looked like a
little girl, who he named Vicki. He and the family pretended Vicki was a real girl and kept the fact that she was really a
robot hidden from everyone else. Basically think of
ALF with a
robot instead of an
alien, and you've got it--even to the point of both series having their secrets almost found out by the
next-door neighbors constantly.
It really was a stupid show, primarily because of the fact that Vicki didn't speak or act like a real person in the
slightest, and the fact that no one figured out that something about her was terribly
fucked up was just downright silly.
