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.
openkid show probably in 90's?
It's a kid show that probably came on in the 90's but during around 2005-07 it came on super early in the morning? The title was something about a rain forest tree frog? These kids went around and had fun, but then every once in a while, usually at the end of an episode, this guy wearing a tree frog costume would come out and they'd go over the lesson they learned that day? And I remember once they did a lit version of "Itsy Bitsy Spider"
Edited by Derpypig13openI can only remember one thing....
There was this show i used to watch when I was a kid. It was animated and in one episode a girl with blonde(?) hair in a peacock costume got stuck to a toilet after her friends put glue on it to trap their mean teacher(?) After they found her she asked for help but when the guys tried to come in she said "Not you the girls!" Weird thing to remember I know but I've been looking for this show everywhere and I can't find it.
openMr something Anime
I think it was a series but I only remember one episode specifically. There was a little homeless looking man and he had this large cat friend. Somehow the guy gets trapped inside of a mirror. He falls in love with a girl across the alley and tries to use a tightrope to get to her but the mirror falls off the rope and smashes into pieces. His name is mr. something but I can’t remember what it is!? Please help it’s driving me insane.
resolved Webcomic about Zombie Discrimination (SOLVED!!) Webcomic
I'm having trouble remembering the name of a webcomic I fell off on reading due to impatience in waiting for each page.
It's about some guy that gets shot or dies some other way and becomes a zombie. The comic is mainly about his relationship with his fiancée and him facing discrimination by society due the unexpected feral-ness of zombies. Also, the zombie's have blue skin.
I think the comic was on the group Hiveworks, but I checked and I had trouble finding it.
Edited by TropeFanaticFanopenUnknown Film
It was about this detective lady investigating this writer because all the murders from his novel were coming true. Turns out the writer had a female lover/fan who was actually doing the murders as they were written after publication. I think she got off on it, while he liked the publicity. I don't remember much else, besides one of the victims being a young couple of camping. They were swimming in a creek when the boy goes to pee, but gets pinned to a tree with a crossbow bolt. Then the killer chases the girl for a while before shooting her too. There's a bit at the end when the writer is trying to kill the detective, saying how there's no case if there's no body, which I think are Arc words in the writers novel, but the detective manages to overpower him and kill him.
openKids Cartoon
Okay so I'm trying to remember this cartoon I watched a few years back, but I don't remember the name of it and all I really remember was that this kid got a key from his grandfather that sent him to another world that has 2 factions battling for supremacy. I remember that in the first few episodes he goes with this monster to a mountain top where a meteor crashed a long time ago in order to find some sort of artifact I think. Can someone please help me out

open90s-Early 2000s Horror movie
Okay so I have very vivid memories of watching a trailer for this movie on a vhs when I was a kid then years later finding it on the internet and reading about it but honestly I'm starting to think it's a dream it was a major studio release, or at least big enough to have a relatively good budget, It's traditionally shot, not found footage. Came out in the 90s-early 2000s, early enough that a trailer would be on a VHS It takes place in a small town, it focuses on teens/young adults, main villain is a demonic witch thing (NOT the blair witch), and at the end it reveals its true form which kind of looks a bit like a creepy clown thing. It got mixed reviews but did well enough to get a sequel which was panned. I'm honestly starting to think I dreamt it because my internet sleuthing is coming up majorly short
openHBO kids show with that ball Western Animation
As a follow up to that one with the puzzles, there was also this show with a character who was a red ball. It was for really little kids.

openA Milk Truck game Western Animation

openMid-90s Era Tween Sitcom Live Action TV
I'm trying to remember a particular show that had one episode that is sticking out for me. There were three main characters, a somewhat obnoxious boy, a loyal male friend, and a tomboy female friend. The generic plot was that the main boy was trying to get a new girl to go the dance with him. Much effort is put into it. The girl agrees to go with her. The tomboy female friend shows up at the dance in a beautiful dress (She Cleans Up Nicely trope) and the main boy ditches the new girl for the friend. He is a jerk pretty much the whole time to everyone. I remember a lot of snide comments directed towards the tomboy character along the lines of "You're barely a girl"
It's not Step by Step.
I forgot to add the time period was late 1800's I think. They used candles and women slept with head bonnets.
