openChildren show about a robot. Live Action TV
Greetings, I've searching for the name of a children's show from around the 90s, in which a group of elementary schoolers would learn along with a big, laundry-machine like robot (not humanoid at all), who would tell a lecture about some theme (cycle of water, atoms, etc.) after being plugged in a VHS tape. I remember the box-set being a bunch of cement gray VHS cases with a coloured stripe (yellow, orange, etc.) on the side to denote the volume. I think there was no singing, as I loathed Barney and the like but loved this show. Any help much appreciated!

This isnt a show but an online game. it was a cute dress up game, i think it was multiplayer. You made an avatar and dressed them up, you could buy new clothes and accsesories. you earned money to dress your character up. i played it a few years ago, i think around 2010-2012? i remember there was a "fame" meter, thats one way you could earn powerups. and you walked around a map. not much to go on, i know, but i wonder if it rings any bells.
Edit: oh yeah and the avatars had big heads, they were maybe 4 heads tall, not realistic proportions. and it was flat (2d) not 3d rendering.
Edited by PistolsAtDawnopenForgotten Chilrens show Live Action TV
Late 80s/early 90s Children's Show or movie on VHS where a man is in a white washed room, white dresser white bed ect, he's gets grounded and his father is represented by a giant leg and shoe and mother a giant hand. He gets grounded. I believe the show was about imagination and doing good.
openNo title Film
I'm looking for a movie that I saw about ten or twenty minutes of about ten years ago, maybe more. It involves this piles of white stuff that looks like salt that appears, and a kid falls into it. He appears in a black void, and sees another him. I'm not sure if the kid or the replica comes out, but later the kid's skin turns all pale and white, like he's dying, and the pile of salt starts growing. I think it's a horror movie, but I never learned the title.
openTV show that I remember only one scene of Live Action TV
So, there was a TV show (maybe even a movie), and I just have a hard moment remembering which one it was. There was a scene where a girl finds out she has a brother, but parents tried to keep him away from her, because when she was only a newborn her tried to kill her by putting her in a tub of boiling water. But actually he was only trying to help her since she was cold or something and was crying, so he filled a bathtub with water and put her in there, but parents heard the screaming, came up (as I remember, at that point only their father came up) and pulled her away from him. If you can help me with the name of the show, I will be extremely grateful.
openKid Eats Raw Ground Coffee Live Action TV
I saw this tv show and some character comes down stairs in the middle of the night and this kid is sitting at the table in the dark eating raw ground coffee because “it gets it into the bloodstream quicker” and he’s wearing this head lamp which looks like two antenna. He’s studying for a test or something. He’s got blonde curly hair and glasses.

You Know That Show that had a Rhino with a bird attatched to its back? (I think) and a character called andre/andrei. and someone who knida looks like wander from wander over yonder
openIsraeli children novel Literature
Okay so there's this israeli chidlren's book, about a girl who moves to a kibbutz, and might have magical powers or maybe just an overactive imagination that keeps blending into the narrativre. And it's mostly about her not fitting in, and the book shifts mostly between Bittersweet to just plain grim
openObscure British Series Live Action TV
Okay, this is a British children's television series, probably from the 80s but may have been the very early 90s. I have never seen any reference to it anywhere since then, I suspect it's very obscure.
It was about some sort of agency run by a well-meaning but not very bright middle-aged man, assisted by two pre-teens who I think were his son and daughter. There was also the hired help, an old battle axe of a cook and a guy in overalls who was either the handy man or janitor or both.
The idea of the agency was people who weren't very happy would come to see them with their problems and he would try to fix everything.
In the only episode I really remember, the client was a young girl posing as a woobie who complained her birthday was being ignored by everyone but it turned out the reason everyone was ignoring her birthday was because she was really an obnoxious little shit who didn't deserve a birthday. She asked the agency for an expensive birthday present and then threw a fit because they bought the wrong colour and the cook ended up smashing the birthday cake over the girl's head.
I only saw this once a long time ago so I may have remembered some details wrong.
Edited by caffeinatedkateopenA Pinocchio movie Film
I remember a Pinocchio Live-Action adaptation that I don't seem to find anywhere. As far as I know, it's not the one with Roberto Benigni, as Pinocchio was a little boy.
The thing that stuck to me the most is that Honest John and Gideon weren't animals, but instead were humans with animal attributes like a tail and ears, and Honest John was a woman. I also remember a part where they wanted to poison Pinocchio, someone caught them with the poison and "Honest John" (I don't even remember if she was called like that) asked who caught her "want a Capuchino?" while holding the poison.
openKids silent tv show? Live Action TV
UGH ok so, I remember this show I used to watch, early 2000s, possibly on PBS kids. It was live action and had music, but as far as I remember, no one spoke. It had like, a king and a queen? Or something to that affect. I've gone through all the old pbs kids shows, and none of the titles stuck out.
openKids Sci Fi Show Live Action TV
So this TV show was broadcast when I was a kid. Likely very early 2000s. It centred around a guy who could transform parts of his body into machines and there was a female sidekcik who could turn into ooze and move around in a puddle. They were trying to find all of the pieces to a puzzle which looked like an egg and were being chased by a darth vader-esque villain. It was broadcast on British Television.

Edited by glassbooksresolved Flash game with dinos and UFOs Videogame
There was this Flash game I played probably some time in the late 2000s-early 10's. I can't remember which website I played it on.
It was a side-scrolling shooter/platformer. You're playing as a baby T-rex. I think the game begins with you popping out of your egg. There are some wooden crates to the right, which give you some guns and ammo. Then these UF Os come down and start shooting you. The goal is to shoot down as many UF Os and survive for as long as you can.
Every time you defeat a UFO, it gives you either a new gun, health, or a forcefield. When you've caused enough damage, you do a Limit Break and turn into an adult T-rex that shoots lasers from its mouth.
The UF Os sometimes drop little robots to attack you.
There are no "levels", the game only takes place in a small, rocky arena.
Does anyone know what this game is?
resolved Kids in Space Live Action TV
I am trying to remember the name of this kids show about a group of kids who snuck aboard a spacecraft and said spacecraft wen through a wormhole and they need to get home. I remember there being adults on board, a man and a woman; also a robot.
And there was this one episode where the girl with rainbow hair could do like a sonic scream thing.
openNo Title Literature
This was a book I read part of at school age, possibly in the school library. Been wondering about it on and off. Children are kept in a large building covered in mirrored glass, playing a simple computer game in which they have to direct a constantly-moving submarine away from rocks. No-one can beat it until the main character (I think female) finds a pattern and progresses through. Don't think I read further than that. I believe they were being tested for some reason. For some reason the image of an octopus flashes in my mind's eye when I think of it, if that helps. Any thoughts?
openEducational Game for Windows Videogame
There was an edutainment game I played when I was younger with a title that completely escapes me. All I remember is that there was a fish minigame (I think about weighing and balancing) that had mahi-mahis, a PDA like device with a girl I'm pretty sure of a darker complexion, and a bus minigame where you had to pay the driver in exact change and he would say "Oh how I just love exact change! Thank you!" I know it was geared toward elementary school students. I also vaguely recall something about a city, but I'm not sure.
