I am desperately trying to find the name of a movie that aired on the Disney Channel in the late 80's I think.
It was about this lady who one day get what looks like a blue oil drum delivered to her house by mistake. When it is delivered she asks the postman "any postage due?" ( this is totally irrelevant but that line sticks in my head for some reason. Anyway she takes the lid of the blue oil drum ish thing and there are directions or a little packet or something and she follows the directions and pours in water I think and the packet... and poof a boy is created? And then there is a big ordeal with the boy and of course the grumpy old lady has a change of heart and learns to love the boy. But then the factory that made him finds out and wants him back... or something like that. Similar story line in the beginning to DARYL but it is definitely NOT DARYL... I loved this movie as a kid for some reason and for the life of me cannot remember the name of it. I think the guy from Coach or from Major Dad was in it too as the postman?
