openOld animated epsiode/film/short film about vegetables and maybe fruit
I recall seeing and partially recording an animation on a VHS about what I think were vegetables and maybe fruit that could sprout legs, arms and eyes and revert back to their vegetable or fruit state at will. I remember that it was in a foreign language that was not english (that my parents identified as french but I'm not sure if it was) and I remember the main characters being behind some kind of fence. One of them managed to get outside and started to explore the outside world. I remember that character running into a ladybug and getting freaked out about it and interacting with a grasshopper and following it. Later on the other characters manage to get out by accident and freak out about it. Then I remember the characters ending up in some kind of lab or something and there was a man inside.
That's all I can remember of it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or was it just some crazy dream I had?
openKind of a Jetson's rip off Western Animation
It was a show, maybe a TV special or an aborted series because I only saw one episode. It was about a family of humans who travel to another planet, the first humans in doing so. The family was pretty nuclear (a dad, a mom and a kid), and the aliens were friendly green aliens with antenae. I think the family's last name was People.
openAnime
It use to be on Netflix and it is about these 3 kids who are at a boarding school with a super computer. One of he kids Controls the computer while the other two go inside a type of virtual reality. The object is to getthe creators daughter out of the computer who was put in there to be safe.
open2000s(?) Era Kid's Show?? Western Animation
The host was a boy and his dog and the location was the backyard of a house.. They usually went about teaching basic "moral of the story" premises, similar to other kids shows. Occasionally they would go into the house to fulfil some segment of the show, specifically the one that comes to mind is them sitting in a theatre to watch something (a play perhaps?) The show was likely either CGI or Claymation, but it definitely had vibrant colours, as is the standard for a kid's show.
Finally, it is not Wallace and Gromit.
openWhat is this comic? Print Comic
So, I remember reading a Comicvine article about this comic. However, I can't find the article or remember the title. It was a social satire comic. The premise was that people would announce they would kill themselves at a certain date and soak in the fame and publicity until then. It may or may not have been part of a fictional reality show.
openno idea, but pretty sure it's this side of 2008 Live Action TV
not sure if the show even came out, but all i remember is from ads for it on tv. it centered around two guys i think, that were touristing out somwhere tropical. one of them got a special tribal tattoo or something like that, but eventually he had a premonition of a drowned girl. he then tries to save her in real life, all the while this gets the two dudes wrapped up in a deeper conspiracy/bad people plot. that's all i got, but it's killing me to not remember what it is, as it just popped into my head after years, and i'm like yeah, i'd like to watch that.
opencop anime about crime fighting fourth grader and an giant panda Anime

openFemale detective show and someone dies and she solves it with spider eggs in hair! 90s...
Been driving me mad for ages but in the 90s I remember watching an episode of a crime series with a lead female. Her criminal "insider" gets murdered and she solves it by finding spider eggs in his bleach blonde hair. Any ideas what this was?! Been trailing through Silent Witness and Prime Suspect but can't find anything.
openName of Bananas In Pyjamas episode (Original Show, No Reboot) Live Action TV
Been trying to look around for this episode on the internet to no avail. Luckily the episode is vivid enough in my mind; the bears were sleeping in a bedroom (possibly having a pillowfight?), but regardless they go to open the door only for the doorknob to fall off, trapping them inside the room. Eventually the Bananas find out about the situation and attempt to get the door open (iirc they wind up breaking the outside doorknob by accident), but to no avail. The Bananas decide (presumably waiting for a proper rescue squad or something, I'm not exactly clear on this part) to get the Bears food which they attempt to slide under the door. iirc cookies and jelly were two failures (the jelly in question just broke apart when they force the plate through) until they finally figured out that pizza was the perfect food to slide under. It's at around this point that the door is finally opened and the Bears/Bananas all rejoice.
The problem is actually figuring out what the name of this episode is and finding any media material that actually exists. The last time I tried searching this I came up with "Bananas to the Rescue", but searching that name up again reveals that it's a reboot episode. I so dearly wish to find this episode again but it appears non-existent on the internet.
openCartoon help
Please help! I think it was on cartoon network. My approximation around 2004 to 2007. It was anime like but I'm not sure if it was. All I remember was the opening episode feature the protagonist being hung on a tree for I think doing something to the villagers (maybe a prank not sure) anyway the only other part I Remember was it's a fitting show where he transforms his armor to cover him and I think it was red. Their is obviously a princess who he is trying to protect. I can't seem to figure it out!
open"Trauma meme" entry Web Original
Months ago, a friend showed me a video of the "trauma" art/animation meme on You Tube. It had a priest-looking guy in it, who turned into an Eldritch Abomination at some point of the video. Just now, at the time of this writing, I looked up the site for the entry but failed. Anybody can provide a link?

So I remember it involving a Mouse who liked to read fairy tales/Storybooks and then one day he goes to the human world and then he accidentally lands in the queen's soup and gives her a heart attack and there is also a sub-plot that involves one of the workers I think trying to find his daughter who has I think a crown shaped birthmark on her neck and then it turns out that his apprentice is his daughter, Please help since it's driving me crazy.
openBuffalaxed music video on Youtube Music
Does anyone know the TRUE name of this song and who does it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f-zEuFa480
It's pretty catchy and the music video reminds me of a Halloween costume store ad.
openWeird Kids' Show? Live Action TV
I remember watching this when I was younger, so it aired sometime in the early 2000s. I don't know which channel I watched it on. I think it was either shot with puppets or people in costumes. If I remember correctly, there was this strange fuzzy blimp-like thing thing that may or may not have been an important aspect of the show. It was set in a forest, I think. I also recall there being a character who wore a flower around their waist as a kind of skirt, but I don't know if that's correct or not. And I think it was centered around dreams somehow, but again, I might just be making stuff up. Sorry for the vague details, it's been years upon years since I've last seen this.
openWIndows Detective Game Videogame
So in this game, you play as an old detective. As always, you're trying to solve a murder. I kinda forgot the gameplay but roughly, in each room, there's some sort of clue, and you click the wrong clues to make it disappear. You can listen to the characters' testimony to determine the right answer. If you click on the wrong answer, there's a thunder sound. Oh, and also, after you finish the stage, there's a footstep representing the murderer's actions.
Thanks in advance.
openFilm (or possible live-action show) where children can't identify drawing?
When I was about seven, my parents were watching a film where some children were looking at a drawing and they don't know if it's a dog or a rat in the picture. Dad then warned me that the next scene (set when the kids grew up) was not suitable for kids.
openCan't remember the name of an old computer game Videogame
You controlled an egg and had to save chickens, it was bundled in an Egames disc.
openbook series about the afterlife being on a distant star Literature
I read these books (it may have been a trilogy, there were definitely 2) around 9 or 10 years ago about a young girl somehow making it to the afterlife, despite not actually being dead. Everyone around her is a ghost except her and her cat. I don't remember a whole lot about these books but I do remember the girl befriending a pumpkin ghost and the pair having to stop some plot. Also the afterlife may or may not have been located on a distant star that the girl is later able to point out of the night sky.
openWheel of Fortune for kids with a monster Live Action TV
I remember this one kids' game show that (I think) aired on Saturday mornings in the 90's, possibly on Fox. The game show part played almost exactly like Wheel of Fortune, but I don't think it was officially licensed.
The set was themed around a jungle temple, and had some sort of lore behind it. There was said to be some sort of monster that lived under the wheel, and when a contestant spun the equivalent of "Bankrupt", they were said to have awoken the monster and provoked it into eating all of their points. This involved light and fog effects coming from under the wheel.
