openAn old cartoon Western Animation
There was this cartoon that was on boomerang I think in the early 2000s but was much older. It's about a boy who goes to a haunted house every night to hang around with different monsters. One episode I remember was about the boy liking the main monster's wife (vampires maybe) and he challenged him for her love. That's all I can remember from it so if anyone can tell me what the show was called I'd be grateful.
openOld CD-ROM kid's game from the 90's Videogame
I played this one CD-ROM game in the 90's that starred a trio of colorful cartoon dinosaurs who traveled through space. It was animated in a 2-D pixelated way similar to early Reader Rabbit games, but with a simpler drawing style. I don't remember the characters' names, but I distinctly remember that one of them was a brontosaurus whose best friend was his tail- that is, he would talk to his tail like it had a mind of its own.
One of their adventures took them to a planet inhabited by these tall, purple aliens with flattened, oval-shaped heads. One of the aliens took them through a tour of this building full of big glass tubes, each one housing a different alien species for study or collection or something. There were about ten floors with ten tubes each, each one with an alien except for the last three tubes- in which the alien then trapped the dinosaurs inside. They escaped when the brontosaurus asked his tail to hit a switch on a nearby wall, which it did.
I only played it once or twice way back in early elementary school, and haven't seen it since. Anyone remember?
openChildren's show Western Animation
I can't remember the name of a children's show I used to watch quite a long time ago. Early 2000s but it may have been made a bit earlier. Not a lot though, because of the art style. I remember it was about characters being able to transform into mechanical animals, using little phone-like things. Main characters were kids but I'm pretty sure there were adults too.
open2000s SHOW. Blonde haired rides bike up hill to a castle of puppets
So, there was this tv show I used to watch and it was basically a Woman with blonde hair and usually a yellow top and she would ride a bike to the top of a hill, and there was a castle filled with puppets and there was a princess puppet. One episode the girl got hiccups and they all helped her get rid of the hiccups and thats really all i remember about it, If you know this show, please please tell me because its been driving me crazy!! thanks...
Edited by Bennett2003openWhat is the show called? Anime
What is that old cartoon show called with the two girls, one tall and one short and they had a cat, and they played instruments, flute and violin I think. They have Asian eyes. They would go on adventures. I don't remember anything else past that. Can someone please tell me what this show is called?
openChildrens TV show
Not cartoon. About a girl with an adult friend (that I think is called cookie for some reason). The adult friend has magical powers, similar to a fairy. The girl lives in (what I think is a bakery). I remember an episode where the adult fairy thing places a spell on a cake to see who would steal the cake and the victims teeth would be stained blue... or another one where you could take a pill and you would either put thoughts into another persons head or see what they think (cannot remember which one)... That is all I remember.
Edited by Lollipop09openA kids' show from the late 90's-early 2000's where someone swallowed water
When I was little, I got sick after swallowing pool water imitating something I saw on a kids' show where a character drank water they were swimming in. . What should could I have been imitating? The show aired sometime around 1998 to 2003.
Edited by mimitchi33open[SOLVED] Music video with two women on rollercoaster Music
So, back in around 2007/2008 (I think) I saw a video on TMF (then a Dutch music video station) featuring two women riding a rollercoaster. It might have been from that era but of course it could have been a few years older. I've never seen that video again but somehow it kept bugging me, so here I am now.
Basically, there were two women, one very pale, with blonde hair and all white clothes. The other had curly brown hair and wore red lipstick and a red dress. The video itself was a oner, shot up front, basically a reaction shot of the women as they rode on the attraction. The one in white kept staring motionlessly ahead and didn't show any facial expressions, the lady in red was very animated and screaming (though obviously there was no sound). She also got more and more disshelved over the duration and I remember her actually having to pull up her dress at one point.
As for the song itself, I honestly have no idea. It might have been either electronic or rock (I'm certain it wasn't pop or hip hop) and sung by a male voice. I hope any of you guys can help. (I already did a google and it's not on this list either https://classygallie.com/2012/02/15/list-of-music-videos-at-an-amusement-park-or-carnival-or-fair/)
Edited by ConverseAreCoolopenDocumentary series about exploring sunken ships
I don't remember much but it was a 4 disc documentary about exploring wrecked ships i believe. It came in a steel case like some sort of collectors edition. In the show i remember one part where the crew was in a small body of water next to a water fall, the water was very blue and the ship was not very deep underwater. It was pretty Made before 2006. Any help would be appreciated
openNo Title Film
A movie about aliens looking for a fountain of youth that was hidden away in space, it started with a narration about the story, which ended with a line like "It was never found. Until...now.". I never saw more than just the opening, and even then I didn't actually see it, I only heard it, as I was in another room.

openAnime that looks like Bleach Anime
I recall one of the scenes having two guys in black clothes fighting on a lake. The next scene had some person tell a kid to walk into a cave full of monsters. I saw this episode in 2003-2008. It looked like the show was set in a fantasy world.

Edited by Jet88resolved [Solved] Wuxia film
A Wuxia that zig-zag between the serious and comedy, here’s what I can remember:
- The plot was start with the theft of the royal seal (it’s not 14 Blades)
- One of the people sent to investigate may have been an official like Judge Dee. At one point he is shown what happen to other officials like him, one is tall because he was tortured by being stretched, another is short because bandits hit him with hammers, etc
- The official has this Wire Fu move where he floats backwards, hitting away blades with his fingers. Later, he stuck down a hole and admits that he can only do the move when someone is attacking him (so he cannot use it to get out of the hole) and that he learnt it by pointing people to their seats in a theatre.
- In the end the villains plot involves the emperor's Eunuch using a mask to replace the emperor. The heroes then ask why the Eunuch would replace the emperor (since an Eunuch couldn’t start his own dynasty), he tells that he was announce (as the emperor) that he was going to abdicate to go on a religious pilgrimage and hand the throne to the emperor's brother who promised him more power or something.
openPC (or Mac?) shoot-em-up from the early 90s
I played this in school in the late 90s, but I'm guessing from the graphics it was an early-mid 90s game. It was a standard space-fighter thing with a fairly extensive upgrade system. You could upgrade your main weapon and side pods/armor/etc separate during play. I think the ultimate form of the main weapon was a horizontal beam that was as wide as the screen.
openHarry potter Fanfiction Literature
In the Improbably High iq page, there is a fanfiction mentioned whose author claimed that her mary sue character had 490 iq, then argued that it was not impossible because her friend had 510. It isn't mentioned which fanfic it is.
openLongshot but trying to find either a scene from a movie, cartoon or t.v show.
The description is broad as i'm going off the faintest memory. Basically this is what i remember from the scene: A person is working on a project (or something), the person works very hard to perfect it and continuously asks the boss for their opinion and thoughts. The boss is always try again, without telling the person what is wrong, until the person gets fed up and has a go at the boss, in this moment the person says something on the lines of "I don't care what you think, I like it, I think it's perfect... etc etc.". The boss is then happy and tells that person something like "that's how you should think about your work, if you think it's good, then be proud." (something like that). Anyways basically the moral was if you work hard and think you are happy with it, then you don't need others' approval. I was quite young, I don' remember the show or movie at all but that is what I think/remember happening.
Edited by CaesConopenTiny Pop Anime
I'm 16. I seem to remember a television show (probably on tiny pop), but don't remember when it was on. There were three girls; one dressed in red (the leader of the group), one in green and one in - i believe it was blue, but I may be wrong. One episode included them teaching the audience about patience, and them counting pomegranate seeds. Some 'pandora' figure said they had to get the number right or something bad would happen. My friend and I were trying to figure this out a few weeks ago, so please help! Thank you! 😊
opena Show from My Childhood
This Show had a Orange Haired Girl and Her Brother I Believe The Girl had a Grey Shirt with Some Spots on It
...where one of the central aspects of the setting is a list of threats that magicians (wizards, whatever) must never face. One such threat was a set of "demons" who lived in a chaotic alternate dimension that magicians use for traveling - you can create and transform objects by force of will in this other dimension, and it turns out the demons have the same power on this side. Fortunately, they are vulnerable to water, of all things, so when there's an "outbreak," they're limited by geography, and our hero is able to trick them into the water with an image of their own dimension becoming like ours.
One of the other threats was a titanic creature that I can't help but remember as being jellyfish-like, that our hero has to confront in that other dimension. He communicates with it by conjuring huge stone walls with words on them, but it can drift right through them.
