Crashbox
TV Show • 1999
ReportSynopsis
Crashbox is an educational children's television game show that airs on the HBO Family digital cable television channel in the United States. It aims to educate grade-school children in history, math, vocabulary, and other various subjects.
The show takes place in the insides of a game computer where green game cartridges are created and loaded by rusty robots. Each half-hour episode consists of at least seven 2-to-5-minute educational games. Near the end, the robots will do "Crashbox Rewind" where they flash back through the show and remind you how smart you really are.

Some of the characters have very unsettling looking appearances, such as Professor Rocket having a live action mouth on his otherwise puppet-like body

One of Jumpin'Johnnie Jumble's personas is a weather girl named April Showers, and Johnny puts on a dress and wig and uses a high pitched voice when playing this persona. This is played for laughs, though you could argue it's less about Johnnie being a man in a dress and more about how his different "co-stars" are him in different costumes.

One of the characters, Eddie Bull’s, whole gist is that he frequently gets eaten by animals. However, he’s always completely fine at the end.

Pretty much the whole premise of Mugshots is that a police detective is determining who is and isn't guilty based on true or false questions. She also occasionally jokes about beating up some of the suspects. Despite this, she is portrayed as the protagonist and her behavior is meant to be seen as positive/funny or at the very least neutral

Not exactly, but Lens McCracken does occasionally use romantic-sounding nicknames for the viewer, who is presumably a child

Not necessarily, but Captain Bones occasionally calls the viewer a crybaby or a whiner or similar insults.

The revolting slob explodes at the end of all his segments, though he does show up completely fine in the next episode. Captain bones is also implied to be dead since he's a skeleton.

Pretty much every show's host speaks directly to the viewer, and will occasionally comment on them (such as Dora Smarmy telling them to clean their room or Lens McCracken calling them nicknames)

Not specifically mannequins, but most of the characters are stop motion puppets and could potentially be unsettling to viewers.

The premise of Mugshots is that you're helping a detective figure out which of her four suspects is guilty, with the implication that the guilty ones will be jailed.
