Description

"The Neighbors" (September 14, 1985)
"Victor / Vicki-toria" (February 14, 1987)
"The Bad Seed" (November 7, 1987)

Ignore whatever you might have heard about Small Wonder and focus instead on how the show spotlighted Vicki (a.k.a. V.I.C.I), a kid who was labeled as different just for acting the only way she knew. As a result of being defiantly resistant to social norms, Vicki has become iconic to all sorts of 80s kids also failed to fit in, and in this episode, we'll make the argument for the ways she speaks to queer audiences. Tiffany Brissette, you should have been a star.
