Spoken word in music from a song Music
I don't remember much of the actual song - it was on a mix cd I was sent in the early 2000s, it was acoustic guitar based with a woman singing, and I have an inkling it may have been early Tegan & Sara. What I do remember is a lo-fi Spoken Word in Music intro: a child (presumably the singer herself as a child) is fussing and trying to grab something (maybe even the tape recorder it's being captured on). An adult woman scolds her and says something like "good, it's recording, later on you'll get to hear what a brat you were".
Twilight Zone/ Outer Limits type show Live Action TV
I'm going crazy looking for a show. Please help!!!
In the episode a patient goes to a doctor/therapist because he has these strange ticks. For example, he taps his head three times or he rubs his arm 5 times back and forth(this may not be exact but it's something like that). The doctor asks why he does all these strange things and he says that tapping on his head keeps the birds in the sky and rubbing his arm keeps the earth spinning on its axis. The doctor thinks he's nuts and he ultimately recommends putting him on medication. The patient aggressively objects because he says the world will fall apart if he doesn't continue to do all the weird ticks/gestures. The doctor forces his workers to hold down the patient and give him the medicine. Then the doctor starts hearing things happening outside. He goes outside and he sees planes falling out of the sky and people on the streets going insane and killing each other ( basically he's sees utter pandemonium). He goes back to the patient to say he was wrong and to please continue to do his crazy ticks but the patient turns to the doctor and says that the responsibility is now on the doctors shoulders. The episode ends where we see the doctor doing all the weird ticks to keep the world for falling apart
My memory is a little shaky so the specific details may be a bit off but the story is correct. I have been referencing this show in conversation for the past 20 years. I just watched most of the 150 episodes of the Outer Limits to find this show but it is not an Outer Limits episode I researched all the twilight zone episodes and I can't seem to find it. Maybe it was a different twilight zone type of show that I can't remember. Please help, I know I saw it and I'm not crazy
(Not the awesomes) Film

Discovery Channel Survival Series Film
15 or 20 years ago, the Discovery Channel ran a survival series regarding survival stories in different climates/conditions. One was about Alan Cooper, who tried to drive his Morris car from Kenya north through the Sahara desert and died with some of his companions. The 2nd was a couple and their baby that got stuck in a snowstorm (after Hot-tubing) and left their car to find a ranger station and the wife died from eating snow in order to produce breast-milk. The 3rd was about Juliane Koepcke, the only survivor of a plane crash in the jungle and was rescued by a canoe. Another nights episode told the story of a family driving in an African desert and got a flat tire, were stranded and the husband was picked up by someone with a car that he got into an argument with, then when he finally got back,his family was dead from the heat. What is the name of this series and how can I view it again?

Time Travel Show from the 70s Live Action TV
I remember this show that came on an retro tv style syndication network. It was about this adult man and this boy who go time traveling by flying in space, or something like that, and they have to help historical figures do important things (Benjamin Franklin discovering electricity, Thomas Edison invent the light bulb, etc.). I believe it originally aired in the 70s as it looked very much like it was made in that decade. If anyone knows what this it or has any clue on what it might be, please answer.
Anyone know this show? Live Action TV
This was an educational show that my teacher used to bring in on a VHS tape. It "starred" a female reporter and a bug puppet that wore glasses. They would show ways to fix grammar and things like run of sentences. Was Elementary or Middle school so would be late 70s early 80s
Old show about elemental kids Western Animation
There was this cartoon I would watch when I was little, I think it's from the 90s or 00s, I'm not sure
Basically, there were these kids that could transform into different elemental monsters or something.
There was a girl who could transform into a pink/purple fairy thing that would control air, a boy who could transform into a blue water monster thing that could control water, and a third kid who would turn into a green and brown tree monster. There was also a red lizard who would help them in their secret base which was a rocky cave.
I only remember two episodes. The first episode was when there was a major flood and rain or something that wasn't scheduled to happen, and the girl who could turn into the fairy thing had to dogsit/walk a dog for a girl she didn't like.
The other episode I remember was a mind control one? The fairy girl and the tree dude became hypnotized by one of the followers of the main antagonist, and the water guy had to go and free them.
Anime with half-human half-cricket or Grasshopper main character Anime
When I was young and visiting Tunisia, I remember an anime that looked like it came from either studio Ghibli or nippon animation world masterpiece theater. The main character, or at least the one I saw in the Intro, was a half-human half-grasshopper or cricket like character who rode a bike. He had the face and a lot of body parts of a human, but he had antennas and abdomen of either a cricket or a grasshopper (my memory is very bad about this series). So, this would fall under the trope "Little Bit Beastly", but looking in the Trope page it or some similar series is not listed there (and I was sure to double check. If you want to prove me wrong, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO DO SO). Also, the fashion of the series seem to look like something out of the late 1800s and early 1900s.
This series has been giving me a headache trying to figure it out for a long, LONG time, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows what I was talking about. The series was dubbed in French, but I KNOW it wasn't a french cartoon or even a Tunisian one. It was very clearly an Anime.
Animated kids show in the jungle with animals, 80s maybe early 90s Western Animation

Recent Marvel comic Print Comic
In Marvel comics, an old character recently became Mayor of New York City. In which comic books can I read about how that happened? (I won't name him. Spoilers.)
Maybe French movie Film
I've asked so many times about this film, I almost think I imagined it. The story starts with the protagonist, a woman who works in a travel agency. She meets a man who comes in to book some tickets. They fall in love, and eventually select an apartment and get married, somewhere lovely in the mountains. He drives off for some reason after the marriage down the mountain road which is full of switchbacks and there is a loud crash....yes, he has run off the road and is dead. She keeps working at the travel agency and is obviously very depressed. One day a man walks in and books tickets with another agency. She is stunned to see, it is her husband, who pays no attention to her at all. No one in the travel agency remarks on him. She follows him onto the streets and end up outside the apartment building they were going to live in. She sees a light go on in the apartment, and later, when he leaves, she goes up. The door is unlocked, so she walks in to see children gathered around the dining table. They recognize her as their mother and greet her. With a sense of total unrelaiy, she picks up the life she would have had if her husband hadn't died. This is all I really remember. The lead actress was someone who looked a little like Genieveve Bujold or had a lot of the same qualities. Did anyone else in the universe see this and remember the name? I think I watched it as a TV movie

TV show is about two guys investigating a house with a portal to a world that was made by a man when he was a kid to excape reality after his parents died. I think it was a show that didn't last long cause they concluded the story to fast but it was still a really good show

No Title
I watched this on Netflix, maybe about 5 years ago. One scene sticks with me. I think it was a tv show that did not have many episodes or maybe only one season. The wife (or fiance?) gets home. Can't remember if she had gone for a run or something else. I think she was pregnant. She enters the house and notices a drop of blood fall to the floor.I think it was the entryway, though she may have walked to the kitchen at some point. I think she was a doctor or nurse. Anyway, when she saw the blood she knew that if she didn't get help within (5?) minutes, she would die (I guess bleed out). She may have tried to make a phone call. She may have had a teenage son. She does die. I think the husband came home to find her dead on the floor. I think he was a detective or something similar. This has been driving me crazy! It was not a long-running show, that's all I remember.

DanceDanceRevolution song Music
I've been trying to look for this one song/chart that was on DDR, presumably from 4th Mix or DDR MAX 2, something of note is that it seemed like something from earlier than 2005. The song's graphics had a nurse and/or hospital theme and the cover art is a picture of 3D render style several rows of Lego-esque minifigures. I remember reading somewhere that it was cut from some releases due to the kinda suggestive theme of the graphics?
Forgot the title, couldn't bother (and tried) looking on remywiki under "DDR cut songs" but to no avail, nothing.

CatDog episode Western Animation
In which episode of CatDog did Cat say "Roses are red, violets are purple / Sugar is sweet and so is maple syrup-le"? I seem to remember it being like a poetry competition or something.
Green is good, red is evil.
Are there any works using Red/Green Contrast where Green is the color of good and Red the color of evil?
Satirical image demonstrating CulturalTranslation through fictional boxarts
I remember seeing this on some tumblr page a long time ago. It's like the current page image for Cultural Translation except it demonstrated a hypothetical game's boxart in different regions. From what I remember, the Japanese boxart was a smiling kid holding a flashlight, the American boxart was like the Japanese boxart but the kid was scowling and holding a gun, and the German boxart was similar to the American boxart but replaced the kid with a grey robot (and there was green blood somewhere).

Book About A Strange Mask Literature
I remember reading a chapter book a while back, but can't recall the name. From what I can gather, the main character found some sort of mask in a bog, and I remember the climax had the mother wearing a mask on her face as well. The main character was a girl, and I'm pretty sure she had a friend who was a guy. I also think it might of been a Canadian book but I'm not sure.
