The movie that started it all
I just wanted to chime in that the movie preceded the series. It was NOT a piecemeal of the series to create a movie. The movie introduced the characters or could be better described as the PILOT for the series. I am praying that NBC will release the series (with the movie included) as a DVD set. If nothing else, it would put the vultures that are charging upwards of $100 bucks for their pirated copies out of business. It would be nice if they can do add updates on all of the cast members as part of the extras on the dvd....I can only tell you about Joe or Tisha....but I loved them all! I highly recommend this wonderful series to anyone who has an affinity for mid-century bebop music and truly believe that DREAM MAKERS exist!

Waiting for DVD of movie and series.
First off, this is by far one of the best series cancelled way too soon. I just wish that they would put out a DVD of the entire series including the movie. I just fell in love with this series growing up and when it went off the air, I was devasted! It's one of the few shows that I still think about and want to see again. I refuse to buy it on tape though because I wouldn't want to watch it in fear of something happening to it or it wearing out like tapes tend to do. Secondly, I have to add this point, the movie is NOT the series at all. I have no idea where anyone got that impression. The series was also missing one of the movie's key characters. The movie focuses a lot on one character and her need to be independent due to some boy (Nina played by Heather McAdams who later played Cat on Sisters/ Teddie's daughter). The series, as far as I can remember, doesn't even mention her character. I could be wrong in my memory of this, but I'm absolutely correct about the issue of the series and the movie not being the same. Anyway, it's a movie that will stick with you for a long time.

The series and the movie were not one and the same!
Someone stated that the series was just the movie cut up with commercials placed throughout. That is simply not true. The move was a jumpstart for the series. It showed how the girls ended up in the mansion and the series was about their lives there.
I wish this was out on dvd. I'd purchase the whole series. My friends and I used to gush about the show the day after it aired.

I KNEW it!!!
HA! I've finally found proof that I am not making it up! I loved this TV show and used to tell all my friends about it. None of 'em had ever even HEARD of it and one person told me, "Are you sure you don't have your own SPECIAL TV that shows these things you make up??" Well! I was vindicated when Battlestar Galactica came back out on TV, I've found the Peanut Butter Solution, and now this...Ahhhh...victory is sweet! :)
Off to look for Small Wonder...that cute lil robot girl...

Didn't know it WAS a movie!
My sister and I were obsessed with this show as kids. In fact, it's the sole reason that I started playing the saxophone in middle school (Mickey, the youngest of the bunch, plays the sax). What's strange is that I never realized that Bill Maher or Tisha Campbell were in it.
I loved the songs - campy, yes, but fun for Annie-type fans. They took Golden Oldies and changed the lyrics to fit the situation. In fact, I can't hear "All I Have To Do Is Dream" without missinging the lyrics as "I couldn't treat Diane that waaaaaay!".
Awesome. I can't believe I got my hands on this. The things you thing are lost, you know? Bless the internet, and Al Gore for inventing it.
