how many years was small wonder on for?

4 years. (1985-1989)

Four long, painful, frightening years.

Wow, I'm suprised it lasted that long. I thought it ended in '87 or '88.

Small Wonder had an unbroken four-year run with an option for a fifth that was denied by Fox Television during its furious trial-by-fire entry into TV networkhood. It was not cancelled from low ratings. The show hit an unprecedented 8.2 rating for a first-run syndicated show in its first year, which surpassed other first-run syndicated shows with well-known top billing names, and averaged a very respectable 7.1 for the remainer of its run.


Small Wonder's initial target audience was from 12 to 20, but it quickly became evident that a far greater range was viewing the show. By mid-season of the first year, the show slowly began to reflect this with more urbane puns and veiled blue jokes, and by season two it was catering a mainstream viewership. Small Wonder's audience eventually ranged from kids to senior citizens and sci-fi fans.
