Special in small wonder serial (Small wonder tv series)
The thinking behind this serial was the most special thing about this serial. The imagination of such a character, which is a yantra, but keeping her under a family and raising her like an adopted daughter, was wonderful in itself. There was no separate effort for comedy in this serial. Due to this robot, the uproar in this family was too much to make people laugh. Even the challenge of keeping this truth hidden from our neighbors was successful in laughing and laughing. The truth of this robotic character ‘Vicky’ was limited only to his family and people of certain identities. Vicky was also sent to school so that he could absorb it by watching the activities of other children. But the device does not have the ability to think, so such situations used to be created in the school too, that the audience used to laugh themselves.
Vicky also had some abilities that took people by surprise and the Lawson family was in trouble to hide the truth. Vicky used to stretch her neck from any room to reach the ‘peep hole’ of the door. Vicky could have reduced her size to a dollop or increased her height to ten feet. The Lawson family tried their best to hide all these qualities of Vicky so that outsiders would not get to know about his truth.
