I wanna Say it was Bailey Kipper'sPoV, a short-lived sitcom on CBS here in the states, produced by YTV.
It's the only thing that comes to mind with Saturday Morning, 90s, and Hi-Tech Video based pranks and Diary.
For Science!
Okay, this was a short-lived kids' show from the nineties. I'm pretty sure it aired on Saturday mornings, but don't quote me on that.
Anyway, the premise involved a kid who had converted his attic into a hi-tech computer lab with a sort of Batcave feel, which he would use to play pranks on people. The title was something like "Television Dairy" or "Video Diary", but searching for those isn't turning up results. The intro involved the other characters (such as his family) being distorted by him, photoshop style.
The one episode I can remember clearly had him needing to take care of a baby doll as if it were an actual child for a class assignment. About the same time, his parents' conversations make him believe that they're having another kid, so he modifies the doll to be as gross as possible to change their minds (having it "vomit" up pea soup and so on), but it turns out they were just talking about buying a new fan. Not sure how those two got confused, but hey, it was years ago.
Any ideas?
