Well, for that one to be Josh Kirby... Time Warrior, one needs to mix up two very different characters, but I've seen worse cases of bad memory here. The looking like Erik von Detten part doesn't look that much of a stretch, at least.
This was more of a miniseries in the mid/late 90s. I was very young so my memory is hazy. It was about a boy who was having a rough go with life, his mom died and he had trouble fitting in etc. At some point he gets stuck in a dream, where he has this wild fantasy adventure. There were all kind of different characters he met along the way. He meets this girl with funny ears who helps him in his travels. At some point there was a giant baby. Eventually he gets out of his dream, and he goes back to school. When he's at school he meets a girl who is literally the girl from his dreams except she doesn't have funny ears. I've been trying to figure this out for years, it's been bothering me so badly. It's not the oddessey, any time I search the net, that's the first thing to pop up. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
