I saw it in Russian, not sure what the original language was. It was probably a part of non-interconnected series (not long enough for a movie). The plot was that a woman hires an assassin to kill her brother. They go to the house where he is supposed to come next day and spend the night there (together). The next day, the brother arrives... in a wheelchair. The assassin says he can't do this, to which the woman replies it's fine - the plan wasn't to kill the brother. It was to kill the assassin, who was the one to put him in that wheelchair.

This was a sitcom with no laugh track that aired in the early 2000's. It might have had 'Oliver' in the title. It took place in an earlier decade, maybe the 50's. The narrator, one of the main characters, was a youngish teenage boy. He may or may not have been the titular 'Oliver' (if 'Oliver' was part of the title at all, of course).
I remember two episodes, both featuring narrator-boy's older brother's attempts to impress a girl. This girl was probably an exchange student and may have been Austrian.
In one episode, older-brother was supposed to be helping her with her English class, which was reading The Catcher in the Rye. He hadn't read it yet himself, being a slacker, but when he did, he was enthralled by it. The two ended up going to an appearance by the author, where older-brother inadvertently drives him into a depression by suggesting that he might not be able to top Catcher in the Rye.
In the other episode, the brother watches amused, from a distance, as an old man attempts to pick up his keys but is unable to. The girl is angered at this, goes to help, and then berates the brother. The brother, attempting to defend himself, glances behind her at a poster about an old lady needing help around the house. He tells the girl that he does respect the elderly and in fact is volunteering to help an old lady. He takes the job to maintain his cover. It mostly involves giving the old lady foot rubs. They end up bonding, as she shares her life stories with him. When he tells (Austrian?) girl about all this, she seems strangely jealous for a moment, until he reassures her that nothing more is going on besides footrubs. One day, he throws a surprise dance/party for the old lady, meaning to mimic something from her youth. She's elated and, when asked for feedback, replies: "It looks nothing like it." Nevertheless, she appreciates the thought, so they dance together. They end up falling down due to her inability to keep up with him, and he falls on top of her. Just then, (Austrian?) girl walks in, sees them, says: "I thought you only rubbed her feet!" and runs out, upset. Guy gets up, shouting at her to wait, then hesitates and runs after her, leaving the old lady lying on the floor, unable to get up herself and looking puzzled.

A Muppet-type show that I saw in the '90's. The characters were Muppet-kids. I think the title was something like "Wimsey's House". Or someone's house.
I remember one episode where the phone was ringing, one kid was calling for someone to come answer, but ending up answering it herself. That led to a giant box being delivered to their house, which the kids then tried to hide by pushing it around.
Another episode involved a fashion contest of some sort, with the kids going "Ta-da!" as they presented themselves. The girl who was judging gave each of them a small prize for whatever category she had deemed them the winner of. The youngest one, a boy, won "Most Colorful". I think his name was Bo. The last one to be awarded a prize was a boy, who got progressively sadder as the others were awarded, until it was his turn and he was assured that he WAS deserving of a prize.

It was a sitcom with no laugh track, taking place in an earlier decade, and the main character or narrator was a youngish teenage boy. I remember a couple episodes featuring his older brother's attempts to impress an (Austrian?) girl who was a foreign exchange student.
In one, the brother was supposed to be helping her with her English class, which was reading The Catcher in the Rye. He hadn't read it yet himself, being a slacker, but when he did, he was enthralled by it.

I have vague memories of a live action TV show I watched as a kid. I'm pretty sure it was about a small town, where strange things happen all the time. The opening title might have had the name of the show on a wooden sign, with a crow sitting on top of it.
The only two episodes I can remember anything about involved a) A kid appearing from nowhere, but this kid was actually a younger version of the father in the show. I think he had some sort of plan to blow up the science fair. b) A tamagotchi like videogame that became really popular, but everyone become devoted to the game's main character like some sort of cult, and they went to work in a factory for him... I think someone might have been trapped in the game as well.
Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? I watched it in Canada in the late 1990s, on (I think) KVOS. It was channel 13 on the West Coast, when we were still using rabbit ears.
