openPicture of video game characters Web Original
Several years ago, some website had a picture posing together dozens of characters from old video games (I believe "retro" may have been the word used), quizzing readers on how many of them they could identify. One I distinctly remember as being in this picture was the first boss◊ from Pop'n TwinBee.
openShow Where Villain Clones Argue Western Animation
This could potentially be an animated Disney show. The villain has cloned himself multiple times over and is at the edge of victory. But the hero decides to play against the ego of the villain by claiming that one of the clones should finish the job as he is supposedly the original one. Unfortunately, nobody knows who is the original, so the clones argue over that. Other arguments include that one clone is stronger, smarter, more handsome, et cetera, and in the confusion, the hero beats the villain (can't remember how).
openTrying to find the name of a show that was on SBS, heard about it from a friend Live Action TV
Some of the things that happen in it are two French guys who go on a journey and want to have dinner or something with the prince or king of Belgium and they stay at this farm and then it goes from day 1 to day 2 to day 3 to week 1 and so on until they realize they're enchanted by the place and then they make a helicopter or plane appear in the field then they get away and also they end up on the street and they have nowhere to go and they can't give up hope or they'll die and yeah, also something to do with them visiting a druid. Please help me find the name of this show.
openForest/Jungle contest Live Action TV
I'm looking for this tv show that aired around late 90's (early 00's). It was some sort of contest with a series of challenges in the woods that the contestants had to achieve, it was almost like a run and at the end there was always a train they had to catch iirc. I also have a feeling that it was a german tv show but i'm not sure about this one though. Another thing i think i remember was them having some sort of map so they could guide themselves throught the woods. I hope someone can help me here :)
openSci-fi CYOA Book Literature
A Choose Your Own adventure knock-off from the 80's. All I remember is that one ending involved a bunch of bat-aliens cornering you and asking you what you think of bats, and when you choose to tell them you love them they're so happy they turn YOU into a bat, and another involved you being exposed to some sort of energy that basically turned you into a superhero/He-Man ripoff and easily beating the Big Bad.
Edited by CivanfanopenAnime dub on Popgirl
I remember when I was a kid I used to watch a lot of Popgirl and it used to show magical girl animes on there. One was Mew Mew Power but I think there were two others? I can't remember one of them but the other once was about 2 girls who had creatures that inhabited card reading phone-like devices. One of them was kinda sporty and had short, brown/ginger hair while the other was good at science and had long, black hair. Their magical girl outfits had hearts on them, the former girl having pink hearts on her outfit (which was mainly black otherwise) while the other one had a white outfit with blue (I think) hearts on it
openCan't remember the show
It's either a film with several films following it, or a to series, believe it was set in Australia, these groups of kids use to make clubhouses, think there was a clubhouse for the boys and one for the girls, I believe one of the girls was called Trish, I remember because she was my childhood crush
openDo you remember this show? Painting, time travel.
It was a show in the late 90's early 00's. Man and woman are partners. They find a painting in a museum that is a portal through time, and when they go through it they are transported there, speaking same language and wearing the right type of clothes. I think they had to retrieve an item to get back but I'm not sure. I remember there was also a bad guy and The two main charachters lost each other in the past a few times. Thanks for the help!
openwhat is this kids cartoon show?
I remember in the early 2000s I watched a kids cartoon show in which the kid(Children) had a magic phone that he could call at any time to get anything. It was similar to fairly odd parents int that regard but i cannot remember the name of this show. If anyone knows then name and can help it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
openWhat's the name of this cartoon? Western Animation
I remember watching a couple episodes sometime between 2000 and 2004. The one thing I remember about the cartoon is that the characters looked like anthromorphic potatoes or rocks or something big, round, and grayish-brown with a face on it. They didn't talk, just communicated in some sort of squealing noise. There might have also been some humans in the show, but I'm not certain. I think there was some sort of educational element to the show, like talking about history or something.
openNeed help identifying 90's (late 80's?) cartoon Western Animation
There was a cartoon shown on Cartoon Network (South Asia) in the 90's... it had two zany guys riding on a bus quite like the Mystery Machine and taking part in weird adventures. In retrospect the characters seem like stoners. One of the dudes was blond and the other dude was thrown into and stuck in a buff guy's forehead in one episode. There was a particularly creepy episode where the daughter of some person wants to take revenge for her father's humiliation or death (can't remember) and grows up into a dyke (wearing men's clothing). She beats the dudes up or something. I remember finding the episode inappropriate even as a kid. Does anyone know which show this was? I've been trying my best to find out what show it was but so far there haven't been any promising leads. The van was a focal point of the show and I believe they were drifters. Looking back it was definitely a trippy show. The blond dude had 3 curls in the front of his hair as far as I remember. It was neither Beavis and Butthead nor Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

openWhat show has a Mayan virus episode? Live Action TV
What show had an episode where an ancient Mayan virus was released into the modern world and turns everyone into zombie like creatures? Oh and the same virus made the Mayans disappear. Its not the Walking Dead or Supernatural, I checked.
Edited by Mrberglandopen1960s-70s Cartoon, may have been a musical, may have involved a dog. I remember exactly one line. Western Animation
So this has been driving me crazy, I remember watching this on a VHS tape as a kid. It was some kind of animated musical, done in an animation style like the 1960s or 1970s. The main character was a kid of some sort, and was on an adventure or quest or something? There may have been a dog or dog-like companion. I remember one sung line that went "That's the way it's always been, that's the way it's gonna stay." "Stay" here is stretched out too.
openEpisode of MLP with group of zebras? Western Animation
In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, was there an episode with a whole group of zebras that were doing this religion or something and Zecora or some other zebra was the sort of "leader" and was holding a pink flower in its mouth?
In the first book, protagonist goes to another planet (Mars?) and hangs out with furry bear-like creatures. Don't remember what happens in the second one. In the third one, the same protagonist spends time in an English university, while it being taken over by a fascist regime (the regime's symbol if a naked forearm and a fist). People talk a lot about England's true nature and Logres.
I read this a decade ago, and now can't find it. It's really bugging me. Please, help.
