I know I watched it when I was a kid. The details are hazy but I remember that there was a family and it was strange but all their things had the same brand (I'm not sure but I keep remembering a blue target sign and a lightning bolt). Their house kept flooding but they didn't know why. In the end, it was revealed that they were dolls and they lived in a dollhouse. Please help me remember.

This sounds to me like an episode of Goosebumps I thought I remember, I might be wrong though wait for better answers.

It sounds like something familiar to me, but I don't know what it's from..The best I can think of is an episode of goosebumps where the doll house was alive and made the dolls move into the position that the family who owned that house was killed in.

I think it is one of the Twilight Zone episodes. It sure sounds familiar....

Hammer House of Mystery & Suspense (TV series)
"Child's Play"
TV.com synopsis:
First aired: 5/2/1986
A family wakes up one morning and discovers that they are trapped in their home by a mysterious and unbreakable brick wall, and their water and telephone have been cut off. An intense heat comes over the house as well. The TV reception has been replaced by some sort of emergency signal for which the symbol is a lightning bolt (which is also the symbol on all their clothes and food products as well as their car). They begin losing feeling in their bodies and losing their memories as well. Soon enough, they cannot remember any life at all outside the house. All this time, a green blob has been forming in another room, slowly stalking the family.

Writer: Graham Wassell
Director: Val Guest
Guest star: Mary Crosby (Ann Preston), Nicholas Clay (Mike Preston), Debbie Chasan (Sarah Preston), Suzanne Church (Mother), Joanna Joseph (Daughter)

From IMDB review:
***SPOILERS*** A family awakens to find themselves trapped in their own home, all windows and doors sealed by impenetrable walls. Now they are faced with a bitter sequence of paranormal events forces that have taken over their lives. A once peaceful family has become mere toy puppets for a race of alien children and victims of a twisted "child's play".

I actually saw this episode, but I don't recall what it was on. At IMDB's forum, someone said that it ran on the Fox Channel. I got in on it late and was fascinated by it! I also saw an episode very much like it on an anthology series but can't find the name of it. I just know it was a remake of the British one.
