It's pretty simple. RadDad was looking at the Japanese market. He knew the Americans would be too Terminator'd to accept a synthetic human, and would prefer the Detroit Steel of an 8 ton Robocop.

But in Japan, VICI would rule as a kawaii god.

Oh, I guess they did address it at the end with a very brief phone call.

Belvedere tried to get real and it was kind of weird (but good that it was exposing kids to actual problems and not bullshit "Promsgiving is next week and I don't have a date!" stuff).

Like when the eldest son developed a drinking problem and maybe drunk drived. Or when WESLEY brought home a kid with HIV and the parents were like "OMG DID YOU SHARE A COKE WITH HIM OR LICK HIS POPSICLES?!"

Vicki was only in their home until she could develop the baseline memory and social skills needed to function with other humans. Once those were in place, her brain was copied and replicated into thousands of mass-produced clones, designed for various applications, from hazardous waste clean up to law enforcement to sex worker.

The original Vicki was retired and shredded.

Ted became a billionaire, but eventually grew distant from the family, leading to divorce.

Joan changed her name and moved to Texas. She is now living with her new husband and kids.

Jamie was traumatized by Vicki’s end and the new replicas running around, who all knew him like a brother. He spent his teen years in and out of mental health facilities. Today he lives in an assisted living facility with his live-in maid, Vicki 2.

Harriet, having had a brief romantic on and off relationship with Jamie in their high school years, eventually joined a super-conservative religious group that preaches against robots. She’s basically the Ann Coulter of the anti-robot movement.

What was the name of that 90s sitcom that starred, I wanna say a high school history teacher. The premise was he was kind of scummy and a bad influence but like in an endearing way. All I can remember about it was the opening credits was him grading papers and one of the papers the kid had attached a $5 bill as a bribe. I've been trying to remember the name of it for years now.

Sorry to interrupt all your pedo jokes, I'm sure they'll all be hilarious and original and you'll get back to them soon.

I think the show you're remembering was Head of the Class. If so, then you're pedo comment is misplaced because that show starred a young Dan Schneider.

I've never seen this show but it looks like one of those late-mid 80s sitcoms that seemed to exist solely for producers to prey on young kids.

Looking back on the stuff I watched as a kid, I'm starting to wonder if any of it wasn't tainted by covert fetishes or rapey directors.

If you grew up in the late 80s like I did, then no. On the bright side at least you weren’t a child actor during that time.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Small Wonder is better robot fiction than Detroit Become Human.

Another thing that I didn’t like was absolute lack of character development. I would have like to see the kids go through highschool and see Jamie and Reggie drift apart, Jamie finding new friend and then rediscovering Reggie as someone he would always cherish or something, Jamie becoming a playboy and being taught how to respect women, Vicky goes through her own troubles in trying to understand how teenagers work - she tries makeup, high heels, short dresses, the body image thing I mentioned.

Another thing i was wondering is what do you think her high heels smell like haha im just curious for laughs haha i would like to smell them
