Silver Spoons' by a country mile

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

For the love of all that's holy, Silver Spoons.

Here we are --
face to face --
a couple of silver spoons...

They're SPOONS. They WIN. There is no room for debate.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 00:40 (twenty-two years ago)

And they're gonna find their way, for fuck's sake!

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 00:41 (twenty-two years ago)

That's what I'm talking bout!

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 00:53 (twenty-two years ago)

man i don't remember the Small Wonder theme, but all i can think about is that I'm With Busey where the girl dresses up as the robot from this show.

― JasonD (JasonD), Thursday, 7 August 2003 00:54 (twenty-two years ago)

She's a small wonder, pretty and bright with soft curls.
She's a small wonder, a girl unlike unlike other girls.
She's a miracle, and I grant you
She'll enchant you at her sight.
She's a small wonder, and she'll make your heart take flight.

She's fantastic, made of plastic.
Microchips here and there.
She's a small wonder, brings love and laughter everywhere.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 01:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I dunno, after reading the lyrics, I may have to change my vote...

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 01:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Silver Spoons. The end.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 7 August 2003 01:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I dunno, after reading the lyrics, I may have to change my vote...

Screw that. Twee robot chick vs. the quest of spoons to discover happiness materialism cannot make manifest? SPOONS WIN.

"Make your heart take flight" my ass. There's a robot who can make her face into a heart, I'll lay you odds.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

This is a hell of a lot more interesting than my final paper on Burke vs. Paine re: the rights of man, though, I'll tell you what.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 01:06 (twenty-two years ago)

word, yo.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 7 August 2003 01:07 (twenty-two years ago)

You're just scared of robot love. And the fact that their circuitry prevents them from engaging in watersports.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 01:08 (twenty-two years ago)

all i can think about is that I'm With Busey where the girl dresses up as the robot from this show.

And that was brilliant television, incidentally.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 01:08 (twenty-two years ago)

It's always been my belief that if there is such a thing as Hell, the Small Wonder theme is playing on the public address system, in an eternal loop.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 7 August 2003 02:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, Sean actually watched Small Wonder!

― Kim (Kim), Thursday, 7 August 2003 03:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Ain't no shame in that game.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Why did I start this thread? Now these two songs are battling for control of my brain. Make it stop!

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 03:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Silver Spoons, no doubt. But Small Wonder is quite possibly the most hideous show ever, and for some reason I used to watch it all the time. So maybe I'm biased.

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 7 August 2003 05:47 (twenty-two years ago)

and for some reason I used to watch it all the time.

cause you were and enchanted at her sight which made your heart take flight, obviously.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 07:14 (twenty-two years ago)

-and

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 07:14 (twenty-two years ago)

When I try to remember either of these, I just end up with the Family Matters theme song in my head for some reason.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 7 August 2003 11:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Please don't make me decide, both songs make such a compelling case.

― Larcole (Nicole), Thursday, 7 August 2003 11:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, Sean actually watched Small Wonder!
Dear God, it's true. It was only a couple of times, with family, but that was enough to scar me for life.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 7 August 2003 13:49 (twenty-two years ago)

i had forgotten abt Small Wonder till this thread. Why ogh why did you have to remind me.

themewise, Silver Spoons wins.

― H (Heruy), Thursday, 7 August 2003 14:10 (twenty-two years ago)

That alien chick who stopped time by touching her fingers together, she could kick Vicki-the-twee-robot's ass ten times before breakfast.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Out Of This World. Yes, I watched that show all the time, too.

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 7 August 2003 14:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It was like the chick version of Starman, without the Bill Bixby Hulk bits.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 14:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Silver Spoons. The sweeping bombastic chorus makes it: TO-GETH-ER! WE'RE GONNA FIND OUR WAY!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 August 2003 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

...and then how it suddenly drops off, all quiet-like: "two silver spoons, together..." The dynamics in that song are INCREDIBLE.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 7 August 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

EXACTLY. It was a glimmer of hope, love, and brave vulnerability in an otherwise acquisitive decade.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Small Wonder is partially responsible for A.I.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 August 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

But not the good part.

― Larcole (Nicole), Thursday, 7 August 2003 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Morbid curiousity led me to check if there was actually any data on Small Wonder available, and I discovered this site. Also, note that it's part of a Small Wonder WEB RING. The world is a horrible, horrible, evil place.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 7 August 2003 15:41 (twenty-two years ago)

If that link involves Small Wonder/robots-from-Buck-Rogers slash, I'm coming for you.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 15:44 (twenty-two years ago)

If you click on that link at all, you deserve anything you get, Tep my dear.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Thursday, 7 August 2003 16:03 (twenty-two years ago)

OMG you can download complete episodes! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? I know what I'm doing tonight!

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 7 August 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Slitting your wrists and shouting "GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD"?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 7 August 2003 16:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Piumaman has gone from a hero to a villain.

― Larcole (Nicole), Thursday, 7 August 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Best suicide EVAH!

― Chris P (Chris P), Thursday, 7 August 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? I know what I'm doing tonight!

In two sentences, Chris describes the logic of much of my life.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Just remembering the cheesy "La, la, la, la" intro to the "Small Wonder" theme is making me seriously ill. That was the most honky family ever.

Silver Spoons by a landslide! :)

― Jasmine U. (Jasmine U.), Thursday, 7 August 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Songs. still. in. head.
Can only. hold on to sanity. so long.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 7 August 2003 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I'm with you there.

Hopin to find those things you just can't buy...

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 7 August 2003 17:19 (twenty-two years ago)

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Monday, 6 February 2006 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

Isn't the Family Matters song the one that's like exactly the same as the Full House song? Even by the same dude or something?

― literalisp (literalisp), Monday, 6 February 2006 21:58 (nineteen years ago)

Wow I think she may have joined Hee Haw or the Grand Ole Opry or something.

― svend (svend), Monday, 6 February 2006 22:08 (nineteen years ago)

I'm guessing a lot of very, very lonely men dig little girls who are pretty, and bright, with soft curls.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Monday, 6 February 2006 23:30 (nineteen years ago)

"Small Wonder" was on Sundays at 5 pm in '85. A sitcom. On a Sunday afternoon.
