There are those who would say that Small Wonder is clearly an ALF rip-off.
A light sci-fi plot where a family has to keep one of the family members secret for whatever reason, there’s a nosy neighbor always about to find out, and the main character learns what it is to be human. In Wonder it’s a robot girl, in ALF it’s an alien that’s hundreds of years old and eats cats. Ta-may-toe / ta-mah-toe.
Then there are those who would say that ALF is actually a ripoff of Small Wonder, since ALF came out like a year later. To which I say: ever heard of time travel?!!?
I guess we’ll never know which show ripped off which, but we do know the name of a very important character in Small Wonder, which ran from 1985 to 1989 — the character who made the entire situation comedic, in fact.

Correct Answer: Victoria
The answer is: Victoria. Though often referred to as Vicki for short — or to be most accurate, V.I.C.I., short for Voice Input Child Identicant — the robot daughter on Small Wonder was given the full name of Victoria Ann Smith-Lawson.Victoria was, of course, played by a human child and not an actual robot.To explain the character’s physical aging as the show progressed, Vicki’s dad gave her an upgrade in the third season: He aged her face, gave her modern clothes to wear, and even gave her the ability to eat and drink real food.Victoria had an AC outlet under her arm, superhuman strength, and took everything way too literally. Typical for an identicant.Source
