Bring SW back on the air! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

To all "Small Wonder" fans:

This used to be (and still is) one of my all-time favorite TV episodes. I'd love to see it come back to TV again. Say, Fox (who owns the show)... do you know there's $$ in putting this show back into national syndication?

[A bit of history and trivia: The show was Fox's first series (not "Married... with Children") as a network and a fifth season of "Small Wonder" was pulled at the 11th hour not because of ratings (it managed to pull a "7" average for its 4-season run) but because Fox thought it's day was over. Boy, were they wrong!]

And with the return to the 80's sitcoms back to TV (look at how many 80's-era TV series are being played in a day!), I'd love to see this series come back and make it's run in the 21st Century. If a national network would run it, I'd be there to watch it again! It would be like being a kid all over again. Heck, it even made a spot appearence in "Back to the Future, Part II" (look at the "Cafe 80's" scene and look at the TV screens closely. On the DVD version, I saw a "Small Wonder" clip being played over and over in the upper left corner. And it's only visable for a few seconds at a time. I'll be darned if I could tell which episode it was that was playing!).

And I like to think that I am not alone in this sentiment. Since I have "re-discovered" the series at Christmas (thanks to VH-1's "We love the 80's: 1985 episode"), I have been closely watching for any sign of "SW"'s return. Alas, I've been disappointed in this respect. I implore all "SW" fans to write in and let the national networks know we want to see Vicki and the gang back on the air. This is a great show for people of all ages. Bring back "Small Wonder"!

I think that "Small Wonder" will fit perfectly in cable networks like, ABC Family, The Disney Channel, Noggin, and even KDOC.

I think we SW fans should start out by getting "Small Wonder" into local independent stations, and later work our way up to national cable networks.

How About hallmark channel that would be a better place to be.

I think Samall Wonder would be great for The Hallmark Channel.
