Tony’s Timeless Thursdays™: "She's a Small Wonder" — Remembering the 1980s Sitcom That Programmed Our Hearts(A Look Back at Vicki the Robot and the Family That Loved Her)

This week on Tony’s Timeless Thursdays™, we pull back the shag carpet, rewire the VHS memories, and revisit a show that was ahead of its time, behind in budget, and exactly what the 1980s needed.

Tony’s Timeless Thursdays™:A Regular Epic Final Battle: Pops, Purpose, and the Power of Love
There are some endings you never forget.
Not because of how loud they are, or how action-packed, or how long you waited to see them—but because, once they arrive, they whisper something sacred to your soul. They tell you that the journey mattered. That you’ve been changed. That the laughter was worth it. And that even in absurdity, there is meaning.
