openSteamboat puppets in a swamp. Live Action TV
Okay. So I’m not sure if I dreamt this or not, but there was a show or maybe even just a singular episode where there is a girl, she may or may not have been a puppet, but she somehow ended up on a steamboat in the middle of a bayou type environment, on a quest to fight some kind of evil. It was very dark and really trippy.

Okay, let's try this since I've been wracking my brain over it.
I saw the show here in Quebec in the early 90s. The French title is so ridiculously generic ( "L'Envolée" ) I've just never been able to figure out the original title.
It was maybe Australian, or Canadian, maaaybe British but I doubt it was American because otherwise I probably would have found it by now. The show had at least two different incarnations (it's possible the two were actually dubbed under the same name but were actually two different shows?) in two different seasons.
The first one would always open with the main group of multicultural kids that were roughly in all the episodes (but they were so bland I can't remember if they even had names) in a super boring situation. Like a classroom or stuck indoor by bad weather during vacation. At one point one of them would visibly have an idea and the idea would physically pop out of their head with cheap SFX that would see their head open like someone just taking scissor to a picture of their head and this sort of papery looking animated thing would come out and whisk everyone away. The thing usually had a banner trailing behind or the word 'IDEA' written in big font on it. It looked like someone animating on paper instead of cells and maybe with water color or pencils? Basically the flying away thing would be when the theme song kicked in. Then the kids would be taken to this green screen land and some indoor sets where they would explore aspects specific theme word through a series of imaginative surreal vignettes. I remember one episode was about 'Colors' and the character was reprimended by the art teacher for picking the 'wrong color' to paint this scene of a horse on a plain and the kid paint outside and you can see a similar scene to what he painted with all the colors mixed up just like his painting. There wad this other vignette in the 'Box' episode where a girl happen upon this sort of postal sorting facility type of thing where (I want to say it was a black actress?) a woman is putting boxes in various oddly shaped holes in the walls. Each box has a name with a description of a person on it and each hole has a 1 word description. The girl starts pointing out that depending on how you turn the boxes around and interpret the description the boxes (and thus the people) can fit under different category but in the end it just frustrates the worker who chases her away. I think one episode was about 'Rythm'. There wasn't a lot of episodes so that's why it didn't feel American (like, not the standard 13 minimum you'd see in the US).
The second incarnation had a running plot and was centered on this magical abandonned lot in the middle of a town. The group of kids (this time it included a girl in a wheelchair? I want to say blonde but I may be wrong) would enter through a door that was only painted on a tall wooden picket fence and on the other side was this place where their imagination made things real? But then this guy wanted to turn the lot into some boring thing like a parking lot or a shop? And as the show progressed we learned about the guy's ancestor who originally owned the lot and the shop that was there? And the kids even encounter the original owner in their and they're wondering if it's his ghost, or memories or travelling through time? At the end they manage to get the descendant in the imagination land and he realizes he can't go through with it and he opens up the wooden fence, revealing this beautiful field behind that we never saw before with like... maybe a stream through it? And he opens up this nice place in the middle of the city to everybody.

I remember this show about a girl who would go to a cave which was alive, I remember the cave had it's own spirit and I used to watch this when I was only small around 6 or 7. The girl would go on a boat to go to the cave and basically that's all I remember
open80s/90s Medical Dramedy Live Action TV
I really wonder if this is just from my imagination, but... I seem to remember a show when I was younger, in the 1980s/1990s—- it was a live action television show, a medical show that I think was a clinic/ER, a mix of comedy and drama. I think it was shot on a very small set (I think it might have been a total of three rooms (a room with the patients (possibly three beds max), the reception area, and MAYBE a waiting room). I feel like it was on a cable network, perhaps Lifetime. Definitely a very minimalistic show.
Anyone have any idea what the heck I'm thinking of?
openGeneral Hospital Live Action TV

openSitcom with Robot Girl Live Action TV
I remember seeing a few episodes of a sitcom with a standard family. One of the kids was a robot and she was very literal minded. Her hair was typically done in some sort of bun and she wore dresses more often than anything else. Help is appreciated. Thank you.
open90s horror show with rockstar and hotel maid Live Action TV

openIt came on before Sonic Live Action TV
When I lived on a military base in Germany in 1996, there was a puppet TV show starting a little girl who would recap her day by talking to herself in the mirror (who would also talk back and give advice) I remember the ending credits had her "annoying" little brother in a banana car or something. Since it was on an Armed Forces Broadcasting station, it might have been either British, Canadian or dubbed in English from another language.
openBritish tv show? Live Action TV
It seemed to be a comedy. I think it’s was british. I’ve only ever seen one episode several years ago. I believe it aired on PBS. I need the episode, two women were visiting a psychiatrist. They kept telling the Doctor they didn’t but need to be there. And they had a funny story about why they were there. The one scene/line I can clearly remember is one orb the women getting water from a dispenser in the room, and commenting “that’s a very confident stream... it’s like a horse” this is everything I know. This has baffled me for years.
openCanadian science/engineering show. Live Action TV
Around the late '80s/ early '90s there was a show on ABC (Australia) pretty much every morning where a host would introduce engineering experiments and cut to stuff like videos showing factories. I'm pretty sure it was Canadian and it might have been early '80s originally ( about the same time we had You can't do that on TV, and I've learnt since it wasn't exactly new). I don't think the host was a scientist/engineer, just a guy who learnt the script. The start of the show had wind up toys walking across the workshop desk. I distinctly remember walking teeth. Anyone know what it was?
Edit: forgot to mention it was an educational show for kids.
Edited by Randallw201238openPeople dressed as cheese Live Action TV
So there was some show I've seen really long ago. Most of the details I've forgotten, but maybe you will help me remember it. Three people dressed as cheese were driving a weird vehicle, and chased by someone I don't remember. Then all of them ended up in the show studio. First the person dressed as Swedish cheese came out of the vehicle, then the person called Mister Bryndza(or Feta, not sure since I watched the show translated into my language), and the last person dressed as red cheese.
openAustralian TV show Live Action TV
So I remember this TV show years back and it was a group of teenagers, I think 4 or 5? One was a rich girl, another was a boy who worked at the hotel the rich girls dad owned, then his best friend had pretty curly hair, and another hot guy. But at the end the girl with curly hair had sex with both guys on the same night, losing her virginity. And I believe they had Australian accents? Please help me find it
openChristian alien knock-off of Barney? Live Action TV
Alright, so I feel like this should be so obvious and easy to find, but I'm just not finding it. What's the name of that rip-off of Barney with an orange alien? It was either a Christian show, or a show that got a Christian edit. I think the Christian stuff was limited to just one segment though(maybe). Thanks.
openIve been looking forever Live Action TV
early 2000's treehouse tv show (canadian tv) about a cotton ball (or some ball of fluff) who fixes ripped toys. Thats all i can remember ive been looking forever for this
openMonkey Family kids show? Live Action TV
There’s a show I remember watching when I was really young, it would have been some time roughly around the late 1990s or maybe even super early 2000s
It was a live action kids show set in some kind of jungle house, the set was really brightly coloured from what I can recall, the characters were a family of monkeys who were just actors in furry suits with facepaint I think? they had like, hoods or something with big monkey ears on them too and they might have all been differently coloured but I’m not sure about that. I only remember one episode where the brother and sister are looking for some bananas and they find out at the end that the dad had eaten them and was sleeping in a tree outside
I can’t remember their accents but it was on Australian TV if that helps, which means it was likely Australian, British, American or Canadian... which really doesn’t narrow it down much ugh
If anyone knows please respond, I’ve been searching for this show online for years, I have scoured SO many sites about children’s shows, I went through an entire list of Australian kids shows once and I don’t think it was on there but I might have missed it if it was
openChildren's show about a small floating alien robot collecting sounds on earth Live Action TV
I'm trying to find the name of a show either on cbeebies or citv in the 00s about a woman travelling round the country with a small silver blob robot alien collecting different sounds, at the end the Blob releases a multitude of tiny floating blobs that dance around to a song created from all the different sound effects and everyone is happy. It's similar to the format of nina and the neurons.
openSci fi series Live Action TV
Sci fi show and one episode man finds a magic cube that grants wishes only to find out later that the cube was from the future and he will have to work in mines to pay off his debt for 100s of years, and the last wish he made was for immortality.
openEducational program about history of the Earth Live Action TV
When I was a kid in the 90s I saw a program on TV about the history of life on Earth which was animated with a voiceover and covered the whole time from the formation of the planet to the emergence of single-celled organisms. I assume after that it got to multicellular life though I don't remember much of it. I'm pretty sure it was a one-off program. This was possibly on TVO or PBS or something like that. I don't remember anything else about it but I would like to see it again because I didn't see how it ended.
openSci-fi show/movie that aired in the nineties (in France, original show may be older) Live Action TV
I vaguely remember specific scenes only : several people get blown out of airlocks during the story, and some time after that, some military guy asks another (probably captain) how he feels, and the answer is something like "I have seen [x] men get thrown out into space", implying he isn't quite okay. There's also a scene where they set up some kind of long-range weapon in an airlock, but you only see the action via radar screens. Finally I remember a scene where a group of people stand in a seemingly derelict spaceship in a patch of light, likely being observed from the dark.
