However, it is great that it is coming out on dvd. I am definitely going to purchase this. Long live the 80's. aka..The Greatest Generation of all time.

I got it on DVD from someone who was selling pirate VHS rips on eBay.. Might be good to see it again in decent resolution and without the muffled audio...

It was an early syndicated 'kid-com,' sort of like The Disney Channel or The Family Channel done on the cheap. It did have, however, a remarkable performance by Tiffany Brissette (sp?) as the robot Vicki, who adroitly captured Vicki's tendency to mimic others' vocal inflections when repeating words and phrases.
