I'm to understand the horrific "Gordy" attack sequence from Jordan Peele's NOPE is based on the very real incident in 1989 that ended the syndicated sitcom SMALL WONDER when the V.I.C.I. robot ran amok and killed or maimed several of its human co-stars.

One of the shows I grew up watching, Small Wonder, which was in syndication from 1985-1989. The primary character was V.I.C.I. (aka Vicki Lawson) played by Tiffany Brissette. Quite frankly, Brissette was the best actor on the show. I've been thinking about re-watching the series for research purposes, but there is SO much to watch and read. Here's the first episdoe of the first season. And yes, the show is (very) white and suburban. There's a lot of social and cultural commentary, but I'll save that for another day.
