"Small Wonder" anyone understands "this human emotion you call 'love'"

Have you ever tried to explain the TV show "Small Wonder" to people? 

It starts here... a man invents a robot daughter. Fair enough. She spends the first several seasons living in a closet with the vacuum cleaner. You know, because she is a machine. But she is also sentient. However, as with any android, she does not understand emotions. And of course, all sorts of hilarity ensues since she takes commands literally, especially when those nosy neighbors show up.

But remember, she lives in the closet. With the vacuum cleaner. That's weird.

Being bored can kill you... this is why I have a list of archenemies and archnemesis

Did you know the being bored can kill you? Well, perhaps not directly but it can kill you in the same way that fried chicken can kill you: slowly.

Now I do not want to cause a scene or a media blitz with this one but I wonder if watching TV constitues boredom? 

This is why Garrison Keillor is on "the list"

It is paragraphs like this that keep Garrison Keillor high on my list in Archenemy versus Nemesis tirade:
