"Number 5 alive!"
I joined up with Netflix today. I'm putting this at the top of my queue. Stat. Right after Mac and Me.

Who would win in a fight: Johnny 5, or Vicki from "Small Wonder"?

Hey Cork! Welcome to wonderful obsessive world of Netflix. Will you be my friend?

Friends 'til the end!
I was surprised to learn that there was a Short Circuit 2. And that most people who had rented Short Circuit gave it four or five stars. Wow.
I'm now going to see if they have Small Wonder.
