Real Wheels, also known as There Goes A..., Live Action Video for Kids, and Dream Big, is a live-action series of children's educational videos for ages 3–8. The subject of each episode is a specific vehicle and the different jobs it does, along with real people who do jobs requiring the vehicle. Episodes are hosted by Dave Hood, usually with Becky Borg as a co-host. Dave Sidoni also hosted 3 episodes.

Real Wheels aired in broadcast syndication (alternating with KidVision series, 'A Day With') during the 1996–97 television season, under the umbrella title Dream Big, distributed by Litton Syndications. The series was syndicated to public television stations by American Public Television from 2003 to 2010.

Premise

At the beginning of each episode, Dave and (usually) Becky introduce themselves to the audience as their job titles. They say they are not real workers but have been given permission to pretend for a day, so that the hosts and the audience can learn about the episode's subject vehicles and jobs.

In a typical episode, Dave and Becky talk about how the vehicles work, their purposes, their history, and talk to people who work in their fields. Comedic segments are also shown in a typical episode, such as antics between Dave and Becky, Dave making a mistake and saying his catchphrase, "I shouldn't have done that!", and Dave and Becky getting into trouble.

At the end of each episode, Dave and Becky persuade the audience to visit their local library, or the place based on the subject vehicles' episode to learn more about them. Sometimes, Dave and Becky, or someone who works in the subject vehicles' fields discuss safety or words of advice with the audience.

Locations

The majority of the episodes were filmed on location in Southern California at locations such as Union Station, Ontario International Airport, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Six Flags Magic Mountain, the Metro Headquarters Building, the Getty Museum and Camp Pendleton. They were occasionally filmed at places like the Kennedy Space Center, the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, and the USS Kitty Hawk.
