I think it was TV, might have been a movie. James Franco was in it or it might have been someone looking like him (not any one of the characters mentioned below).
There was a girl who told her boyfriend that she'd been born a hermaphrodite and asked him not to tell anyone. He told his two best friends though and asked them not to tell anyone. They didn't but as he was walking by them with his girlfriend one of them said "Hey guys". The may-be-protagonist thought that one was mocking his girlfriend and attacked him, which made her understand he'd told them and got mad at him.
Any bells?
open(SOLVED) Ah le petit vin blanc Live Action TV
Okay, this one will probably fail. I'm looking for any reference (even just the name) about this short I once saw on TV:
In a French live-action short, one man is driven mad because everywhere he goes, there's someone or something singing, whistling or playing Ah! le petit vin blanc
. He ends up killing a hobo who was singing it, and tries to dispose of the body by cutting it up and tossing each part in a hand-cranked meat grinder... At which points the grinder starts emitting that fateful song like a barrel organ.

Okay, so there was this show about a green dragon and a bunch of kids. One of the girl's names was Sara. In one episode, there was a snowman that ended up melting at the end and it screamed, "I'M MELTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" as it sort of...shrunk using bad Blue Screen effects. In another episode, they climbed a beanstalk and I remember the dragon singing "Up the beanstalk!". In another episode, they found trees with faces. The dragon always ate little snacks in boxes called "Carrot Crunchies" or "Dragon Crunchies". For the life of me I cannot remember this show. Can you guys help me out?

Does anyone remember a show from the late 80s/early 90s about this kids music group but it was an 80s glam rock band? They were all different primary colours and had massive hair...

This was an American kids show, in either the late '90s or early 2000's, about a girl who traveled the country with her rock star mom, and she solved paranormal mysteries. I think it was either on The Disney Channel or Nickelodeon. Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm looking for a couple songs.
1. One is a 90s song that goes "I have a crush On you". Lead singer was female.
2. 90s R&B song that went "Baby Got Back, ooh Baby Got Back". I checked Sir Mixalot, but didn't recognize the tune. Lead singers were male.
3. Boy band song. I only vaguely remember a misheard lyric, like "my world, plenty more in the sky".

I remember this show that aired on PBS that aired seven years ago. It was in the same time slot with an animated version of Anne of Green Gables and this fun science type of show called Dragonfly TV. If I remember correctly the show centered around these two siblings, both teenagers. A guy and a girl in a wheel chair. Apparently they are trying to look for their father in this other world of mythical past. The way they go to this past was by touching this screen on a wall, with a projector shining the place they were going to. Also the only way to get back was to touch a special object in that world. The show was heavily centered on myths of around the world, as they often went to ancient Rome, Japan, and other countries. I remember a couple of episodes. There was one that the guy went to ancient Japan or China and gets swept up in this myth of a man(him) falling in love with a forest demon disguised as a woman or something of that sort. And there was another where the sister goes to Rome or Greece and becomes the new oracle for the people. (She loses her disability whenever she goes to the past) She gets visions and helps people and also sees visions of the oracle before her. Around the end she finds out that every oracle is soon sacrificed and replaced. They try to throw her into this pit, but she is saved when a god kind of guy carries her out an claims she doesn't belong, and he held the object that was the key to get home. That's all I remember, sorry if my explanation wasn't the best. I really want to get the name of this show.

Western series in the 80s or 70s. A stuntman that fight crimes, or maybe a cop posing as a stuntman, or a cop that was a former stuntman. He may have a partner but I forget. Each episodes features spectacular car chase when the stuntman want to catch the bad guy.

This has been driving me nuts for years.
Kids shows from the 90s, I think it was from New Zealand it was shown in the UK on C4. Bunch of kids whose foster mother disappears/kidnapped by some bad guy. I can't really remember much but I think they do end up finding her at one point. Google isn't helping as keeps bring up The Tribe.
open(solved?) Portal on lighthouse Live Action TV
This one is old, probably 1990s. All I remember is a scene in which two groups of preteens are fighting outside a white lighthouse, which has a portal-like door that disappears/closes after one kid goes through it.

I don't have a lot of memories of this show, but I remember it was live action and I think it was a brother and sister in a forest. The kids were from modern times but it appears the forest was a different land where there was magic. There was some kind of puppet that was leading them on this adventure and they were either on a quest looking for something or possibly trying to hide and find it before the bad guys.
I believe it was on PBS but it could have been specifically in Wisconsin or Minnesota PBS.
Also I remember the show was filmed in an actual wooded area and not on a sound stage.

I remember being fairly young so circa early 90's and seeing the very end of a Nickelodeon show where it was some kind of conspiracy type thing with green goo. It may have been an episode of "Are you Afraid of the Dark?", or I could have imaginied this. It was definitely an American or Canadian show.

Ok so I remember seeing this show when I was a kid about these kids. There was this artist and he would draw pictures of people with cool superhero type costumes and i think superpowers. They would come off of the page and come alive. There was battles and stuff. I think one of the girl character's name's was Jo or Bo. There was also this adult male character and he talked weird if I remember correctly. I also think the adult male character had slicked back black hair, a big nose, and pale blue-ish skin. PLEASE HELP!

A kids' live action TV show that starred a trio(?) of kids exploring the Universe in a ship. The most memorable thing for me are the creature designs: a three-legged human-sized pet/sidekick alien; ersatz manta ray-shaped air whales that used hydrogen emanations from secondary volcanism to keep airborne; gigantic ice worms breaking a glacier apart. I have a notion that this show aimed to be anvilicious: the air whales had bioluminescent spots they used to communicate and were harvested for the hydrogen that kept them buoyant. There was also an episode where the "don't judge a book by its cover" anvil was dropped: by an amazing evolutionary coincidence the planet was inhabited by giant butterflies and giant wasps. The wasps were benevolent and the butterflies were vicious predators. I think there was a scene where the sidekick alien used its very mobile ears to touch a giant wasp's antennae. This show was probably North American fare though whether from the US or Canada I'm not sure and aired in Portugal in the late 90s on a morning slot on RTP if I'm not mistaken.

I think it was a TV show or documentary. There's this guy on a canoe or boat with his dog. The camera zooms in to the guy's skin and its cell structure. Then it zooms all the way out into space, to the edge of the solar system and then zooms back in to normal.

This show couldn't have been on for long. I can only vaguely remember it though. I'm thinking late 90s? All kids (live action) show. Had the look of a news show, but kids ran it, and all the behind the scenes stuff too.( sound board, lighting, cameras) Had a person in a costume that looked like a blue koala.He could shrink to fit on the news anchors desk. (remembering the "anchors" are two kids, boy and girl) There was also a pink one (his gf?) The two would go "on location" by magically transporting there. It was an educational show. I have been told for years that I am crazy and making this show up. If anyone recognizes any of this, it would surely clear my "crazy reputation".
