5 Episodes Of Kids’ Shows That Got Shockingly Dark

5Small Wonder – “The Sheik”

You know what you don’t see enough of in kids’ shows? Some of those kids being forced into harems. But before we get into that madness, let’s get into the madness that was Small Wonder. 

In case you didn’t know, because you’re probably a well-adjusted human that doesn’t have a repository of useless mid-’80s TV shows dancing around in your brain, kicking out any useless information like mucus bullies in a pharma commercial, Small Wonder was your standard high-concept sitcom of the time. Essentially, a dude, Ted, is an engineer, and he makes VICI (Voice Input Child Identicant) a robot girl that’s damn near a superhero. Soon, the family falls in love with her, starts calling her Vicki, and pretends that she is just their adopted daughter.
