open"Negative Fish" Film
I vaguely remember seeing this movie playing at our local video store back in the early 90's. The part I can remember showed a teenager with long dark hair and sunglasses looking at the camera, with a negative filter over the image. He says "Negative? I'm not negative...look, I'm a negative fish!" and makes a fish mouth with his own mouth. Then there was this part a minute later where it shows the guy's face on a drawing of a fish, and a drawing of another fish walks by on the bottom, and somebody's singing "Watch out for the Negative Negative Fish!" Can't find anything about that.
openI think it’s a sci-fi show, maybe a mystery detective Film
I only remember a snippet of a scene: there’s this supposedly blind lady in court (who I think is there for committing a crime) and the protagonist walks in, throws a pair of sunglasses (like the ones blind people wear in shows) and the blind lady plucks them out of the air with superhuman reflexes. Also, later in the episode, the protagonist takes down the blind ninja lady, after having his or her ass handed to them, by striking her then going completely still.
openHelp me find my show! Film
I'm trying to find a show. I'm pretty sure this is an episode of something. The premise is an e-sports event. A guy is drinking some sort of drink that is increasing his abilities like reaction time. The girl on the other team finds out and starts drinking the same thing. All of a sudden she "snaps" to a post-apocalyptic future in which she is a sheriff, married, and has a kid. Everyone who drank that stuff did the same kind of snap and when they wake up they freak out because they have no recollection of their life between the snap. These people are looked down upon and I think they are part f the reason the future turned out the way it did. Eventually she finds the asian guy that gave her the stuff initially and takes more to go after the guy from the competition who is with a rebellious group.
That's the best I got
openTeacher and her dream rock Film

openGirl’s Childhood Cartoon Film
So I have an extremely vague memory of a cartoon I used to watch as a child in the early 2000’s. It followed three girls who led secret lives where they were fairies or spies or something. It was very similar to Winx Club, W.I.T.C.H. or Totally Spies, but I don’t think it was any of these three. I had a toy wand that was from the show’s brand and it was a pink “fairy”/magic wand that was round in the middle and clear, so you could see little colored balls stacked on top of each other in the wand’s entire handle. I think they might have been removable, but I’m not sure. It was kind of an anime-style show, but not sailor moon. Please help!
openShow from my childhood Film
So I don’t remember really anything about this show, except for a couple things 1. It was for kids, maybe toddlers 2. It had sentient vehicles 3. One of the episodes was about a library that caught on fire and all the cars helped put it out ( I think it was a library) 4. Another episode was about a race, and the main car was pushed into a pit and started leaking oil, but ramped out because he believed in himself 5. The last thing I remember was that there was a tugboat ( his name might have been Oliver, but I’m not sure)
openTv show Film
So when i was in jail i was watching this tv show and cant remember the name of it for tge life of me. I only seen 1 episode and from i remember there was a white couple and they had an adopted black boy is is probably around 8 or 10 years old. The husband or bf said he was going somewhere and killed somebody and wrapped the body up and put him in the back of his black range/land rover and went home. And the wife/gf took the vehicle unknowingly knew there was a body in the back. She went to the mall and stole a bunch of cloths for their adopted black son and while she was putting the cloths in the back of the range/land rover and she seen tge body but wasnt to suprised. I'm guessing she knew her husband/bf kills people. She went home and parked in the garage. And their adopted son invited and friend and his friends mother over for dinner without asking permision. So tge adopted kids parents were freaking out because they had the body in the back of the land rover. And when they showed up for dinner they tried acting as normal as possible. Also the mother of the adopted black boy was trying to get him into some private school and was trying to bribe the lady into getting her son into the schooll. I wish i remembered a little more. Hopefully someone can help me find the name of this show
openMilitary moving video for kids Film
When I was little, my dad was in the coast guard, so I had this VHS all about how to deal with moving around so much. It has a bunch of songs, and one was called “How do you make friends?”. There were interviews with a bunch of military kids. This one girl said she liked “bagels on Sunday, the moon in [her] window” and another kid said that she liked buying stuff in vending machines at hotels. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

openUnknown Film
A UK TV drama around early nineties. A family fallen on hard times have nowhere to live and go to live as guests at a monastery. The father is an accountant, and works on the accounts for the monks. He finds an anomaly in the accounts and saves them money, gaining favour. He then starts to become influenced by their religion and gradually becomes fanatical an turns against his family. Then gets himself elected as a high priest or something. Cant remember what happens next. Love to find out. I dont know any of the actors.
I didn't actually see this, but a friend described it to me. He said it was an old black-and-white movie that he saw on TV in the United States. So it might actually be a TV show. He said that the characters were having a party, and the musicians started playing a song that made a lot of the people start fighting. Someone broke up the fight and told everyone that they shouldn't play that song, because it was a "Union song" which would rekindle feeling of the Civil War and make people start fighting. That is, not a union like a trade union, but the Union as it was in the American Civil War. This implies that many of the characters present were from the Confederate states. After that fight was broken up, one character stood and proudly announced that he was in the Union army. This made the other characters resentful.
I asked him if it was a Western, and he said that it was "like a Western, but it didn't have a cowboy theme. It was more like they were mountain men or something."
The only other thing he told me was that it made him laugh because of the outdated slang and other outdated terms used. If this film was supposed to portray the aftermath of the Civil War, I don't know if these outdated terms were supposed to be from that era or from the time the film was made. He couldn't be specific about any of these slang words.
