openChildrens progam with purple dragon pls pls pls help me
Hi. I'm looking for a old childrens program that aired prob sometime between 2000-2009 in Sweden. I can't remember any names, characters (except one) or titles. I can only remember one character and a sentence he/she said in one episode. I know it isn't much to go on but I clearly remember the character being a dragon. There was ofc other characters too, kids, but I can't remember anything about them. I think the dragon and the other characters were animated. If not, at least the dragon was. But I favor the former. It was purple (and no, it isn't Spyro), light purple I think and it's belly was either pale, light purple (lighter than the rest of the body anyway) or very light yellow. Its voice was light, somewhere between normal and high-pitched. And I think it had white, pale or yellow horns. The horns pointed upward and was small and blunt. Or at least not (very) sharp. It was big, like the red dragon Sparkie from "Mike the Knight". Somewhere around that size I believe. That's all I remember about its apperance. I don't remember if it was a male or a female but it sounded like a female. It spoke in human tounge. The sentence it said that I remember was in swedish. It said "Ta det lungt. Min mage är ingen berg- och dalbana". Roughly translated, "Take it easy. My stomach isn't a roller coaster". In the episode where it said this, the dragon was ill. So the kids somehow shrunk themselves, ventured into the dragons stomach and made the bacteria/virus go away. And that's all I remember. Does anyone recognize this? Pls help.
UPDATE:I found it! For those who are interested, the show was Henrys World, episode "Fire's Out". Thanks for all the help!
Edited by Pepsilovin-pikaopenHowie Mandel from Little Monsters looking guy Live Action TV
I've been searching the internet for this show for years to no avail. I don't remember if it was a pilot to a now failed TV show or a made for TV movie. It could have been one of those social awareness things that used to come on TV too. I really don't remember much, but it came on channel 36 between 2000-2004 along with animated shows like Static Shock, Jackie Chan Adventures, and The Batman.
Had a guy in blue makeup with funky red hair, fixed up in a weird braid. I think he had some piercings too. Kinda looked like Howie Mandel in Little Monsters. He was supposed to be an alien, but none of his friends new or thought anything about his strange appearance until they were told he was an alien.
I don't remember the story, but I know he died at the end and went up to the stars or something symbolic like that.
Edit: It might have been an episode of another TV series at the time. I've been going through every show ever to be aired by WB, and am stumped.
Edited by StoolopenDare Movie? Film
Movie trailer about an online 'Dare' game, where completing a dare gets you money. Boy and girl get roped into Daring together, and at one point, while trying on clothes, their OWN clothes are stolen, because they are now being dared to Leave Without Paying. They sneak out in their underwear, instead of stealing. At the end of the trailer, they are in an arena, and one of them must shoot the other to be let go.
Edited by FortunateKitsuneopenAnimated Show about teenagers who find and defeat monsters Anime
First off, I am not looking for Scooby Doo. Ok so the show is about a group (or maybe just two — can't remember) of teenagers who fight monsters after analyzing some sort of crime scene relating to the monster. There is always some kind of slime or sludge or some substance like that, and the main character tests it and it resulted in telling them what the monster was and other info on it. I believe the male character was blonde, and always energetic. The only other thing I remember was an episode where there was some sort of tree-like creature who would try to kidnap children who misbehaved.
The show aired some time in the mid to late 2000s
Sorry if this is not much to go on but if any of this sounds familiar any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by SuspiciousSlothopenUnknown show about teenagers with some sort of powers Live Action TV
Ok im honestly unsure if this is a dream or a real show
The main thing i remember is that a villain in it can shapeshift into a large black snake and there's a scene where one of the protagonists wanders into his office and hes shed his skin in there.
I feel that this scene happened in an office
I think there was a blonde girl on the villains side who the protagonist has a thing for too
I know its not much to go on but if this sounds familiar id appreciate any help
Edited by JiendoopenShow about teenage kids living in some sort of mansion or school Western Animation
There was this show, i think it was aired on nickelodeon, maybe 10 years ago, it was about this group of kids who i think were kinda half monsterish, i remember it was a cartoon but kinda dark (still kids cartoon), and there was this girl (i think half werewolf) that was with one of the boys. And there was this episode where one of the boys goes to the lake and finds a girl (it could be the other way around) and falls in love.
openLate 70s/Early 80s UK Christmas Special About Rejected Toys Live Action TV
I remember a Christmas special about a bunch of rejected toys, called "rejects" scheduled to be incinerated. After the staff left, they came to life as live action adult actors who then interacted with other non rejected toys - a bunch of toy soldiers who believed it was there duty to get "smithereened" by cannon fire and a bunch of dolls who arrogantly sang about being perfect and looked down on the reject toys. When the staff returned and they returned to being toys all hope seemed lost until a bunch of yelling children invaded the factory (toy store?) and grabbed the rejected toys and saved them from the incinerator. I recall some lines from it - "What's wrong with a reject?" from the lead reject toy and the line "We are perfect. Perfect. Absolutely perfect." sung by the arrogant male leader of the dolls. Any ideas? Would have been a BBC or ITV broadcast.
Edited by Exxolonopen1990s live action hero show Live Action TV
There was a tv show that I barely remember from possibly the 90s. The only episode I remember is a guy in red armor has to battle a clone of himself. When he ends up winning, he gets an upgrade with better armor and/or weapon. I believe he was part of some hero team but could be mistaken.
openHorror(ish) Themed kid show Western Animation
I remember the intro started in a suburban area with all of the kids going on a school bus (think some of them were horror creature but i am not sure), and then suddenly they where deep in the woods (greyish sky and kind of a dark but kid friendly atmosphere) where there was an academy. I remember one episode with a kid (brown skin color if i remember correctly) finding a jacket that makes him into a bully, he tries to take it, struggles and somehow gets it off in the end of the episode.
openFilm about Children raised to become organ donors Film
I honestly didn't understand a good chunk of what was going on since I missed some of the dialogue (we were watching it at school, not only was it not Mean Girls so no one cared but, when people actually did start paying attention to it, there was a neverending flood of stupid comments and commentary) but the basic gist I could guess was children are cloned from real people, these clones are raised from birth to be in perfect condition throughout their lives and then, in adulthood, they become organ donors only they give away their organs while still alive and through several sessions of harvests. The main lead has a love interest who gets taken from her by her jealous, possibly bisexual friend who kisses her in one scene (my class flipped out at that part) before said friend admits that she knew that main protagonist and love interest were meant to be. The friend in a later scene goes through her final harvest where she dies. The main protagonist and the love interest then attempt to get some sort of 'get out of harvest free' deal because they heard from some characters at an earlier point in the movie that, if two of the donors fall in love completely then they can opt to get out of the harvest for a year so that they can live their lives together. It turns out that was false and love interest then dies in a harvest in a later scene. The movie ends with the main protagonist in front of a tree, talking about how she's going to start her harvests soon. This movie was also apparently an adaptation of a book of the same name but I can't remember the name
Edited by Shine101openDaily/Weekly TV Show Series
There was a show about a girl who first lost her mother and then her father and was sent to live with her mother's sisters, whom she had never met. It was a working farm, close to the ocean, pacific I think (COLD WATER). One sister was headstrong and ran the place, the other sister was very quiet and reserved. The show I believe was named after the girl. The girl has a gift of seeing certain things. Her best friend was a girl who had long, blonde hair and her Dad was the only Doctor. I believe Lance Henrickson was on it and he played her cousin Jimmy, who was slow and he slept in the barn. GOD can someone help me find the name! I really enjoyed that show. I believe it was on in 2010, early mornings and then only on saturdays. I want to say PBS but I could incorrect. THANK YOU

I forgot to add the time period was late 1800's I think. They used candles and women slept with head bonnets.
openPokemon copy? Anime
Hey, I am trying to find this show I used to watch when I was a kid, from what I remember it was kinda like a yu-gi-oh/pokemon clone. It started out with monsters from another dimension coming to the real world, these monsters were able to be fused together but this was a permanent process. The main character had a sidekick monster (kinda like pikachu) that was short, blue and may have had a marking on his head. This monster could talk and had a secret backstory, which if I remember correctly was that his big brother or father had attempted to fight the main villain of the series but had died in the process.
I'm looking for an episode of a show—I think "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" or "Goosebumps," but I have looked through episode synopses for those series to no avail. There is a pair of brothers whose parents are going out of town for the weekend. The parents hire a nanny/babysitter—an old lady. But once the parents have left, the older brother draws red chicken pox-like dots all over his arm and, when the old lady arrives, pretends to be his father and tells her they're sick, they have canceled their trip. She goes away so the brothers have the place to themselves. Then turns out there is a monster in the house. Please help!
