openA YURI TYPE MANGA WITH A GIRL WITH GLASSES AS THE PROTAGONIST? Anime
I remember reading it so long ago, the protagonist was a freckled(?) short dark blonde haired glasses wearing girl who didn't understand the big deal of relationships and the like, or wanted one really badly. it involved cell phones, dealing with rumors and her meeting a girl with a bad reputation, she had long black hair and isolated because it was rumored she had sex with guys. last time i read i was near the part where the protag starts to realize something is off with her feelings towards the other girl. I think it may have had something to do with strawberries in the title? Either way it was maybe about ten chapters and unfinished, but it seemed to have been created Very Long Ago.
Things I remember about it, very old art style, like Yu Yu Hakusho, with all the little things about 90s manga. The protag had these really iconic dad glasses! like these : (http://d111vui60acwyt.cloudfront.net/product_photos/44937467/silver_20Oculos-Vintage-Eyewear-Frame-Myopia-Glasses-Clear-Lens-Women-Spectacle-Frame-Men-Eyeglasses-Optical-Glasses-Frame_20imatterial_large.jpg) The other character looked at lot like hell girl but with dark eyes. Their school outfits were a plain short sleeved button up blouse with plaid skirts. It was under the Yuri tag.
openPc game 1990's to early 2000's Videogame

In the same vein as my other question Two distinct clips were one about how when we're throwing a ball when lying down, we try not to hit the ceiling whilst throwing it as high as possible. And then imagining a thing running along the scenery outside your car window, never touching the ground.

openComedy where Character gets rescued from a boat Live Action TV
There was a show with an episode or episodes where one character goes on a boat. The boat situation is not what it seems, and they fall out of favor with the boat people. A friend comes to rescue them with a rowboat/lifeboat, and a first, boat person turns them down. Then things escalate further and they go with the rescuer.
I think this is a comedy show. American.
openKids Show about Office Supplies Web Original
I can vividly recall an episode of a kids show about office supplies that travelled to Machu Picchu in an episode, and talked about an ancient fr of communication involving strings and knots.
I remember there were about four characters; a pen, a pencil, and a paperclip, but I can't remember the fourth character if there was one. I watched it in fourth grade around 2010-2011. Can anyone help me out?
Edited by baambeiopenThe ghost of a father, his driver seeking help from his son to catch their murderer Film
I remember that movie have the main characters to be a rich man and his driver/best friend that were kill by another member of his company. The man loved his pre-teen/teenage son a lot but their relationship was somewhat distant. When the two men died, they became ghost and discovered that the man's golden egg box has recorded his murder, ghosts could appear on TV for a few seconds to talk with the living before the TV exploded and could teleport to wherever they want by just thinking about it. Not to mention the driver discovered his girlfriend has moved on immediately after his death much to his chagrin and there was a strange man who could talk to both of them directly.
They managed to contact the son, who was be able to recovered the stolen egg from a kleptomaniac female relative. The bad guy confronted the boy but he was stopped when the latter put his VR game headgear on the former. In the virtual space, the two ghosts confronted the murderer and he fell backward into his death through the window/balcony. The ghosts said goodbye to the boy, father and son confirmed their love for each other before the ghosts left. They met both the ghost of the bad guy and the strange man who was some kind of grim reaper or angel. Through a public bench, the murderer was sent to hell while the two men, sitting on the bench, filed to heaven.
openTwo guys who "lock" their hats Live Action TV
Probably 90s show.. Maybe it was something kids oriented, live action, comedy... all I can remember is that there was two men, maybe brothers? The main thing is that part of their episodes shtick was that they had this silly, high energy way of putting on their hats (like an eighties, multi coloured "ball" cap) where they would say the three steps out loud as they 1. snap their caps open, 2.slap them on their head in sync, 3. turn them sideways and shout "LOCKED".. thats when they were "ready" to do whatever they were doing next.

openCrazy Show
There was a show when I was little and all I remember is one really messed up episode where a dad (I think) was kidnapped from a hospital by a crazy woman. The woman took the dad home and treated him terribly (she even tried to feed him cockroaches D: ). All the while, the man's son told his mother that his dad was fine and he saw his truck passing by everyday at school. In reality however, you later find out that it was the crazy woman in the dad's truck driving past the son's school. The mom had been searching for the man ever since she found out about his disappearance. Eventually, the mom finds out where he is with some help and travel to a house with a field where he is being kept. The mom brings along the son as well. The crazy woman knocks out the mom and pretends to be her to lure out the son. The woman is defeated and the dad is retrieved.
Yeah... that's all I remember. Any ideas?
openLesbian Best friends who start dating Live Action TV
There was a white lesbian show with 2 best friends: one was a red head, the other had black hair: the black hairred girl was butch and knew how to get girls/ was flirty and confident while, the red head was more femme and was too awkward/shy to flirt with girls n was a 3rd wheel to her best friend's date. After a while (i think only a couple episodes after the first), they start dating each other and sleep together. I'm not sure abt the original channel but i saw rerun on Logo, if that helps.
open90s Undersea Exploration Game Videogame
I can vaguely recall a PC computer game I used to play at school in kindergarten, so probably around 1999. The basic gist was that you were watching a diver explore the ocean. You didn't move around so much as just click the screen and a new view would pop up. I can't recall if any of the animals in the background moved at all or if they were stationary. The game started at the surface and then went deeper and deeper until eventually the diver went back up. The animation was pretty basic, no CGI or anything flashy. I can't seem to find any trace of it online and am wondering if it wasn't a program that was unique to our school's computers or something.
open2 children's shows and a computer game
These are all long shots, but I've been trying to figure them out for years so I figured why not, it's worth a shot.
1) Children's PC game from the late 90s about dinosaurs. The main screen was inside a clubhouse of sorts and there were various things/characters you could click on to take you to minigames. Two of the characters were a T-Rex that I'm almost certain was named T-Bone and some sort of triceratops-like dinosaur; there might have been a pteranodon-like one as well. The main minigame that I remember was a sandbox-type one where you had to dig for dinosaur bones. There were also many galleries showing pictures of different species of dinosaurs which would move or say something when you clicked on them; I remember some of them were shown eating people. There might have been a coloring game as well.
2) Live-action children's show, possibly Canadian, I think aired on Treehouse TV around the late 90s. Main characters were people dressed in animal costumes; I'm pretty sure it took place in a sort of outdoor garden/yard setting. The one thing I remember very strongly is that one of the characters was an alligator called Baccari (sp?) and was possibly yellow, as I drew a picture of him when I was about 5ish and I'm certain I didn't dream him up myself.
3) Early 2000s children's show on Treehouse TV, possibly Canadian, live-action, a short that would play between longer TV shows. Involved a young black child and his (her? I can't remember the gender) grandmother, they would walk through a garden and sit on a bench/swing where the grandma would tell the kid a story. Every episode followed this format. Might have been called something like "Grandma and Me" but I can't find anything by Googling that.
openAn episode with a protest scene Live Action TV
Part of it has a group of protestors repeating "Take over Wall Street! Take over Wall Street! Take over Wall Street!", and I remember my parents watching that show.
openCan't remember much, can't find any trace...
Something my mother and I can't remember seeing, but can't remember much about we saw when I was quite young. There was a little girl, obsessed with her lollipop. I seem to think that they might have been orphans or something? I remember the phrase "I WANT MY LOLLY!" pretty well. Probably not helpful at all but no matter how hard I think thats all I can recall. I remember it having an overall creepy tone.
openKids show Live Action TV
I remember this kids show when I was a kids it was either British or Australian because I remember them having accents. It's similar to inside out but with actual people piloting this boy and they all looked like they were maybe the same age or something.
openI dont remember Anime
A girl with powers who goes with her grandfather in a school and learns to transform and fight
openMight be a Shounen series(?) Anime
I totally forgot the name of this show or even the rest of the episodes, but I clearly remember the B plot for this one. Someone or something is giving advice to someone about women and tells them to gather multiple females' phone numbers. The person does so, then they have to fight some spider minster or something, and at the end of the episode, I remember all the women finding out that the one person had gathered ultiple hone numbers and they all got incredibly angry and disgusted and went off.
Can anyone help me with this?
Edited by Goldude
does anyone think they're a 90's kids tv expert? I'm failing at google right now. I'l trying to find this show where the host was like, a bald guy in a t-shirt in a warehouse. People would write him silly questions and he would sort of mythbusters things for them.
One episode he painted himself gold because a kid asked if being painted gold would kill you ala goldfinger.
He looked alot like Steve Martini from Major Payne.
It's driving me crazy!
