You Know That Show...

Early 2000's Talking Pencil Art History show Live Action TV

I'm looking for a show from the late 90's/early 2000's that was hosted by a CGI talking pencil. The pencil in question had a human-ish looking face on its surface. He'd talk about art history and have live action segements seperated by some CGI animated segments. There where other characters too. A sentient lamp that couldn't talk but made faces. There was a girl character that was a paintbrush or pen of some sort. There was also a white, blob-like eraser that would fix mistakes. From what I remember, this show might have aired on or been distributed by HBO.

Okto cartoon show Western Animation

Three siblings most probably a girl and two boys return from school and their grandpa i guess picks them up and they go back home and they teleport to a place for an adventure to solve the case or something and if im not wrong they will be living in a spaceship and their parents will return to pick them up

mecha anime Anime

I'm looking for a mecha anime, it aired during in the Netherlands but I'm not sure how old it really is. Here is what I remember there were three pilots with individual mecha. Naturally they combined in the regular way where each robot transforms either the arms legs or torso and head but they also had something I think was unique.

There was a fourth mecha separate from the three individual ones and they basically flew into from an opening in the back and transformed into their limb modes before it closed up again. Both combined forms typically required all three pilots or at least two of them to control.

At one point the pilots of the mechs that formed the arms and legs were in trouble without mechs and were saved by the four mech combined form assuming the remaining piot did all the work. In truth a support character, who I think was being trained as an emergency replacement for any of the three and who had messed with the settings of the mechs to make it easier for him, was acting as the second pilot.

00's-10s' disney water game show

Ok so I remember watching this game show-like thing I think on the Disney channel... It was about these kids completing an inflatable obstacle course above water and they'd slip off and fall and it was really interesting but I can't remember the name... It was a competition and the obstacle course looked kinda like a waterpark. Anyone know the name??? thanks

Late 1990s/early 2000s preschool show Live Action TV

Does anyone know which show this was from? I'd like to say it was on Playhouse Disney, PBS Kids, or Nick Jr circa 1998-2002. It could have been Teletubbies, Reading Rainbow, Blue's Clues, or something else.

All I remember was that it was a segment that showed how jeans were made. I'm pretty certain the jeans were made from paper material?

Law Enforcement agency show

Magnos? Maganos? Help? Western Animation

Interesting wrinkle: I never actually saw the show in question. I saw a VHS tape in a discount store years ago, didn't buy the tape, and it was gone the next time I was there. The name was something like "Magnos" or "Maganos," and the box art depicted a colorful super robot that looked something like Gundam or one of the original Transformers, flying through space. From what I could tell from the box, the show seemed Gigantor-ish, maybe Voltron-eqsue. I tagged western animation, but for whatever reason I feel like it might also be Asian in origin.

I've been curious about this for YEARS, and I thought perhaps the brain trust here might be able to help me out. Was this its own property? An obscure early dub of something that eventually got a proper release?

Store was National Wholesale Liquidators, upstate NY, maybe 2001 or 2002, although a VHS sold in a discount chain in that range of years could well be 10 to 15 years old by the time it reached its final destination.

Any help is appreciated!

Disco (?) song Music

This is gonna be really vague but there was this radio station were I live that played mostly 70/80s music, unfortunately they changed it to mostly play more recent stuff so I haven't been able to find it. I can't remember any lyrics but it was kind of disco-y and had a sound effect somewhat like the one that first plays at about 1:54 in this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fscXE-GQYI

Reality TV Show

I'm looking for a show that was probably on one of those channels like Oxygen or something. It was a group of women that were really rude and they'd get gold stars. If they behaved badly, the stars would be removed. The one with the most stars at the end of the week got a reward or something? It didn't have many seasons.

YA Sci-Fi Book Literature

I read a book many years ago and I'm attempting to track it down now to re-read it.

Here's what I remember: The protagonist is a woman who works for some sort of agency (I think it's intergalactic) and she's captured by an enemy race. She makes a comment about having her hair cut short when she's imprisoned because in the enemy's culture that is a way to humiliate or shame women, though it doesn't bother her. The part I remember is from her point of view and she continues to tell the story from what she can see/learn while locked up.

That's the most specific thing I recall, but there is also something about her working with another agent, a man who is either inexperienced or has done something disgraceful, making her unhappy to be stuck with him (the story may flip to his point of view for some chapters?). In the end, he takes their ship and uses it to somehow defeat the enemy, I think by self-destructing the ship to blow up their base or city, killing himself in the process but saving the female agent and presumably everyone else...

Any ideas? I believe it is a young adult novel and it may be out of print. Also, I can't promise it was ever published or available outside the United States. Not a lot to go on, I know, but I'd appreciate any titles anyone can suggest. Thanks!

Interactive mystery book with cartoons Literature

A lot if not all of the scenes were drawn out in a cartoony style.

It was a sort of choose your own adventure thing, where you had to solve puzzles and mysteries to progress. For example, one scene had you setting up a pulley system in order to open a trapdoor. I distinctly remember there being a crocodile (possibly as a pet?) somewhere in there.

I read this in school (in Britain) when I was like 7 or 8. I'm 20 now.

Edit: It was in color, with those plastic-y pages you get in textbooks rather than papery novel pages.

I believe the protagonists were children.

A Christan muppet TV show Live Action TV

It was shown on a christian broadcast channel called Smile of a Child I think. The show was about these muppet people fighting each other and there was the evil side and the good side. They traveled via hot air balloons and had fights in the air and stuff. The muppets were kinda creepy looking

Depressing 90s BBC drama Film

I only remember this because I watched it far too young and it gave me nightmares for weeks. A British BBC (or channel 4?) drama about a loser kid - I think called Simon. He is particularly dim and the kids at school relentlessly mock him. I think there's a scene where he wears an unusual coat to school. One day 2 other kids trick him into helping steal lead from a roof - he gets caught and sent to a boys home. Eventually he hangs himself in his cell. The final shot is his dead face as we hear a voiceover of a school lesson where a teacher is asking him something like "Simon what is the universe?" and he is saying "there's nothing. Just like stars and that." Depressing as hell. Usual for British drama in the 90s.

Point-and-click Flash Game from around 2003 (Tagline: The Game Where It's Good to be Bad) Videogame

This has been gnawing at me for years. I remember a point-and-click flash game, probably from Armor Games or Miniclip that I played around 2003. I don't remember the title, and I haven't been able to find it. The tagline was "The game where it's good to be bad", which only seems to bring up Injustice stuff nowadays. You played a Dark Wizard, dressed in fairly generic T-Shirt and pants, trying to take over the world, starting with some medieval village. You had the standard three interaction options (eyes to examine things, hands to touch things, and mouth to talk to things).

I played this so much back then, that I could practically write a tutorial from memory. 1) Pull a blue plant right out of the ground to give to a witch 2) Talk to the "village idiot" about magic, and he is worried that you will turn him into a frog. 3) Gather ingredients for a "familiar spell", including some sort of spellbook, to gain an animal ally 4) You now have a cat that will help you. 5) Send your new cat into the dragon's lair, as the dragon will kill you otherwise. 6) Once the cat has explained everything, the dragon will let you inside. 7) The dragon wants a princess, as all dragon's do. 8) Thankfully, the local kingdom leaves the princess unguarded 9) If you try to just use your hands, the princess will manage to pull away from your grip, as you aren't very strong. 10) You have to use the dagger to threaten her. 11) And so, you have delivered the princess to the dragon. 11.5) At this point, you can use your hand option on the chained-up princess, and the game states "You tickle-torture the princess. How cruel!" 12) You return to the town to kill the town hero 13) You try to send your cat through the hero's window, but the hero shows up with a lance. 14) You throw your cat at the hero, who claws at him and distracts him 15) You bash the hero with your shovel (I think you used the shovel for this purpose earlier in the game as well) 16) YOU WIN! I also remember there being several humorous descriptions for using the different items where they didn't belong and from using the hand, eye, and mouth tool in the incorrect situations. Somehow, I have vivid, detailed memories of this game, despite not being able to remember the title or the main character's name

Teddy Bear Waltz Live Action TV

So, I had a VHS when I was little that my mom had recorded tons of old cartoons on. Near the end there was a segment of these teddy bears that came to life and turned into people in bear costumes that had all these fancy clothes and they danced the waltz together while a song played in the back ground that I dont remember the lyrics of except "Teddy Bear Waltz". I remember the tune but no other words. It may have been Disney but Im not sure. Anything?

Evil sister trying kill brother Live Action TV

For the life of me I can't remember this show/episode, but I'm 99% certain it was on a tv show like Tales from the Crypt, but I've checked their episode listing and it isn't on there.

1st the siblings are children. The girl no more than 12 and the boy like 10 maybe. It's in a everyday setting, no sci-fi or anything. I think the girl is possessed or something early in the episode (my memory is hazy here), or she's injured and her head trauma has her set on killing her brother. The boy does try to tell his parents but they disregard it for a long while (one of them does start to suspect near the end, father .... I think).

2nd I remember two scenes VERY VERY clearly. There is a family reunion or party or something going on, the grandfather offers to take the boy on a fishing trip, just the two of them, which the boy happily agrees to go on. The Sister overhearing this asks to go too, but the grandfather politely declines her, knowing the reason the boy wanted to go was to get away from his sister. She then asks please and proceeds to run her hand down his thigh and towards his groin. Sufficiently freaked out he takes her out of his lap and says no. Second scene I recall is the boy asking to get a Popsicle from the freezer in the basement and is told yes, the sister asks the other parent since by now one of them has been trying to keep the girl from being alone with him. However the other parent agrees and she runs off too quickly to hear the other parent objecting. Now wife/husband is confused why one can have a Popsicle but the other can't and he/she tries to explain the strange things they've noticed.

That's unfortunately all I remember about the show. I saw it long ago and it's certainly a late 90s or very very early 2000s, though it might be a rerun as well, so don't focus too much on the timeline there.

No Title Anime

I really can't remember much about this show other than the main characters are a team/friends and there's 1 girl and 2 boys. There's a love triangle between them and one of the guys gwt ahead of the other guy by giving the girl something during a festival or something while in the libarary. I think the girl has pink hair and they may be training to be something like samurais. There's this one scene where they are fighting monsters and then they ride the monsters using the carrot and stick method. I think it was shown around early 2000s when I grew up in the Philippines. It's probably an anime show and It's so vague in my head but driving me crazy so help is much appreciated.

Show About Girl with Magical Powers Who Is Sent to Live with Grandma who has Powers Western Animation

So I have been struggling to remember this show, I don't even remember if it was good or not but its bothering me that I can't remember the name of the show. It was between 2010 and 2015. Basically what I remember is a girl (possibly named Kat or Katherine) who lives in a big old house and might have been sent there to live with her grandmother who practices magic (her parents can't use magic). The girl her self practices magic and rides a Pegasus. She has two friends a boy that turns into a monster thing and another girl but I don't remember there being anything special about her. I remember each episode revolving around some group trying to get power and releasing different creatures into the real world and they have to track them down and fight them while keeping the magic life secret from her other classmates.

People with superpowers given colors

So I saw an ad on tv or youtube where it was a world where people had powers and there was a chart for how dangerous their power was and what it might be. What I remember was that green was the safest color and red people had very destructible powers, and orange was the most dangerous color with that person having the ability of mind control. In the trailer, the main character was a girl with the color orange and she was making a speech and everybody put their hand up showing their color with their color on their hands. If you can please help me with this very frustrating problem.

Disabled Asian boy. Single mother. African-American best friend. Live Action TV

I saw this show in middle school, so it's likely from the 90's. I think it was on HBO or another premium cable channel. It's a documentary type of show as it's about real life people.

It's about a disabled Asian boy. There's issues with his legs so at a young age, he can only roll around the house. He is being raised by a single mother in the US. His best friend is a African-American boy. They seem to be really close.

The show is time lapsed (similar to the Up Series). So it shows them at elementary age (about 7 years old or so) and also later on (I think they're like 15 or so). Later on, the disabled Asian boy and the African-American boy are still best friends. The African-American boy pushes the Asian boy around in a wheelchair.

The show format is documentary style (as stated above) as there are often one-on-one question and answer sessions shown and general following around of the individuals in the their day-to-day lives.

Game with planets Videogame

There was that game i played some years ago. There were different levels, and each level the planet changes that you play on. The game is 2D and you can drill through the planet. Oh and i think i played it on miniclip, but i dont know if it was removed. I played it at that time when miniclip just was that long list of game names and you just click on one to see what game it is.

Weird British kid film from 1970s ending with a teleporting cricketer? Film

Ok, this is going to be a long, weird trip. Imagine little me in the suburbs of Detroit around 3rd grade, so 1979 or 1980. We've just gotten cable TV, and I'm watching a very primitive incarnation of Nickelodeon. The fragmentary memory is what I take to have been the final 3-5 minutes of a British kid's film from the previous decade or so. What details I can recall:

• A toothy and somewhat overstuffed-looking woman calling after "Doofles", I believe her kid
• An adult cricketer, apparently a celebrity in context of the film, hits what is probably a MacGuffin cricket ball elsewhere, and suddenly teleports into the middle of the scene
• A massive crowd of public school youths come pouring out after him, chasing him down the street, or maybe a cricket pitch, at which point the credits begin running over the chaos.
• I believe a kid's chorus began singing the closing title song at the same time; I almost think the lyrics involved Doofles and maybe even a two digit year (e.g. "Doofles 68"), but at this point I hit the stage of probable hallucination.

That's literally all I've got. This was a once-in-a-lifetime memory I've been carrying around for nearly 4 decades, and I haven't for the life of me been able to figure out where to go looking for closure.

Song Music

Few days ago I went in a little cinema in the next town, where there were small auditions between prize giving to students. One audition caught my eye (or rather ear? :P), I recorded it and since then I am trying to find the song the girl was singing. I tried Shazam and other music searching apps, but none were able to find it. I would try searching by the lyrics but English isn't my first language and I can't understand them. Can you please help me out? :)

Orphanage, evil mother witch, portalling to other worlds/dimensions Live Action TV

This was a show I watched maybe 10 years ago. I don't remember much about it. From what i recall, the protagonists were 4 or 5 teenagers orphans. The orphanage wasn't a very pleasant place to live in. I remember the setting being very gloomy, but that might be an exaggeration.

There were also a few adults taking care of the orphans. One of them, I feel like, was a mother of one of the kids, and she meddled in witch craft. She didn't get along with the other orphans. There was one episode which I remember, said mother was meddling with her usual witchcraft. In this particular episode she had brewed some potions (i think), and delivered them in a world to which she portalled through a mirror. The other kids followed her through the mirror to stop her, trying to surprise her. Then stuff happens (I don't remember), she carches them, and traps them in a well in that other world.

I've been trying to remember the name of the show for several years now. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Blue haired boy with tablet like think Live Action TV

There was this blue haired boy, who had a transparent like tablet/Phone. He was skating aswell. I think it was shown on Nickelodeon or Super RTL.
