Ted Lawson was a research engineer with United
Robotronics. He had secretly developed a robot that,
superficially, looked exactly like a cute little 10-year-old
girl. Ted took the robot, a "Voice Input Child Identicon"
which he had nicknamed Vicki, home to his wife and
young son Jamie, so that he could get the kinks out of
its programming. Vicki generally talked in a monotone,
was totally logical, and given to taking anything that was
said quite literally--resulting in confusion and embarrassment
for Ted and his family when others were around. She was
extremely strong, a quality that endeared her "brother"
Jamie when he had to deal with the neighborhood bully. She
was also given to repeating things that others had said,
much like a parrot. Only Ted's family knew she was not
human and they were hard-pressed to keep others from
finding out. Reggie was Jamie's friend and Harriet the
obnoxious girl next door who was almost as nosy as her
mother. Harriet's father, Brandon, was Ted's boss.
In the second season Jamie went to junior high school and
Vicki went too, creating problems for the other students
who didn't have her perfect memory. His life at school was
also complicated by having his mom show up frequently
as a substitute teacher, falling in puppy-love with gold-
digging Jessica, and coping with another kid in his class,
obnoxious Warren. During the 1988-1989 season, Jamie's
romantic focus had shifted to a new girl, Debbie Barnhill.
