openSkyscraper Janitor Music Video Music
I remember watching a music video a couple years ago. I believe it was from the late 90's-early 2000's, just from what I remember the quality being like. The main focus was this janitor/custodian/handyman in a large corporate building. Throughout the music video, he kept looking at security camera's, which were also recording the video, meaning that whenever he did this, he was looking at the viewer. I can't remember or not if their was someone on the other side, reacting to things the main guy was doing. I also remember a manager-type guy who was occasionally focused on. At the end of the video, he killed himself, and afterwards, the janitor guy looked at the camera again and made a "shoot myself in the head" motion with his fingers. Knowing the video channels I watch, I'm willing to bet the genre was Alternative Rock, or something similar like Post-Grunge.
openLooking for a show or miniseries please help this bugs me a lot
I watched this show about 10 or 12 years ago, the main protagonists was a woman it was set in Victorian London I think the woman was a lesbian and in love with her best friend since they were young and when they got older the best friend got married and had a baby and said that the woman wood grow up and find a husband, there was also a another woman who was in prison I think for witchcraft or been possessed by the devil, there was a lot of acult stuff going on at the time like seances and I think there was a man who was a very violent spirit like he would strangle people, I also remember that the woman in prison Broke out with the help of the protagonist and they were going to run away together but it turns out the woman in prison was lying about having powers and just wanted to escape prison. It ends with the main woman killing herself by jumping off a bridge and the other woman on a boat running away. There was also a scene where the protagonist gives a locket with her best friends hair in it to the woman in prison who then gives it to an old woman and says it’s her sons hair that she plucked from heaven for her. Please can someone remember this it pops up in my head all the time but I can’t find any trace for anything like it anywhere I don’t know if it’s a movie, tv series, miniseries or one off special I think it was on bbc one but I’m not certain

openWhat was this show called!?
does anyone remember an old live action show on TV where a guy walked through a cave and he would play guitar and he had a friend who lived in a log but you never saw him?
open80s/90s Medical Dramedy Live Action TV
I really wonder if this is just from my imagination, but... I seem to remember a show when I was younger, in the 1980s/1990s—- it was a live action television show, a medical show that I think was a clinic/ER, a mix of comedy and drama. I think it was shot on a very small set (I think it might have been a total of three rooms (a room with the patients (possibly three beds max), the reception area, and MAYBE a waiting room). I feel like it was on a cable network, perhaps Lifetime. Definitely a very minimalistic show.
Anyone have any idea what the heck I'm thinking of?
openBoy and his Dog, 2D animation Western Animation
I remember the show had a distinct cartoon style, and was about a young boy and his dog (I think the dog could talk) There was a movie released in theaters as well. I think the boy would wear a cap and backpack kind of like Ness from earthbound. It must have aired around the early 2000's
openColony in Space, strange minimalist animation style Western Animation
Children's show set in space (either station or planet colony). Had a robot that had a washing machine in its torso and would randomly steal the character's underwear while they were wearing it.
The only other thing I remember is that there was one episode where they went inside a certain character's psyche to find a particular memory.
Broadcast either late 90s or 2000s

Edited by DiamenttopenDora episode
I remember that it was my favorite episode, but it's been so long that I think I'm getting some of the details mixed up. I'm fairly certain there was a pyramid with really long slides, or it was vines... like I said, the details are probably getting mixed up. The pyramid is the only thing I have confidence in. Oh, and I'm pretty sure it was a earlier episode. Don't know how early, maybe 2008 or earlier? Don't put all your trust in that number, but it would be great if anyone has an episode name for me. Thanks!

I was little when I watched this show. The bad guy loves roses(?), and has a field of roses planted around his hideout ans has a train going from his base through the rose field. He fights these 2 children (a boy and a girl). At the start of one episode the teacher was explaining about what happens when you pour hot water into a cold glass. in another episode, the teacher was explaining the water cycle. Thanks
openDisease movie Film
I remember watching a movie in high school (2009 or earlier) about a disease outbreak, but all I remember about it was a shot where it zoomed in on the main character's face and he said "It's airborne" when it previously wasn't.
openCartoon that i do not know the title of
So there is this spoilt girl. Her mother once goes to a librarian and she gives her a book. The mother reads the book and she falls into an eternal sleep. Then the girl gets trapped in the book and she has to finish the story in order to wake her mother up and escape from the book. She also meets a greenish blueish fairy prince that is with her through the whole story. I also remember the girl wearing red shoes that make her run very fast. Any idea?
Edited by themetalheadopenWhat was this special?
Have you seen this? Animated television special following a young girls journey with her parents across the united states. Along the way, they experience a crumbling nation, with each area facing their own problems- fires in California, droughts, gas shortages. This was an animated special in the early 2000's.
I'm trying to find an old child program that I used to watch when I was little. I recall that the synopsis was there was this lady, I remember her having black hair, probably in a ponytail, and this white teddy bear that had the ability to sort of come to life and speak. Then somehow this bear could go to this strange place in which reality is altered. I remember specifically a scene where there is a very slow rabbit and an extremely fast tortoise that basically flies around this room. I can't remember most of the other events in the program but those are the specifics. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? (Note: It was live action w/ puppets I believe)
