When I was a a child. My brother and I rented a VHS tape with a animated series on that I am looking for the name of. The series follow a three human characters. The male hero, the heroine and older male. I cannot recall their names. The series is set in the future and the human characters are teamed up with the three robots. The robots are not Mechas, as the are not piloted by the humans. The heros robot has a whip/ grappeling line, the female robot can connects with computers with wire plug ins and the last robot is big and strong. I watched the series along time ago and I have been looking for the series name. I recall the episodes I watched ended on a cliffhanger and I wanted to watch the show again Can anyone help me? I am looking for the series title
openCartoon about cat and raven Western Animation

Edited by FlauFlyopen90s cartoon with aliens? Western Animation
It aired on Teletoon in the late 90s, maybe running into 2000. There were these 5 different colored aliens that lived in a house. In one episode, I think they were all wearing futuristic suits and one of the characters pressed a button on their belt that made them teleport a short distance, I think closer to the fridge.
openLate 80s/ early 90s animated children's VHS (possibly musical?) Western Animation
I had this tape as a kid that I watched frequently. I remember 2 things about it, First, there was a part involving a horseshoe, maybe changing the shoe. Second, there was a giant who kept saying 'I hate muuuuuuusiiiic' and at the end of the segment when the 2 other people were leaving and taking the music with them, he started chasing after them saying 'wait, maybe I like music sometimes'
Edited by GuntherRidelopeni cant remember
Okay so I remember as a kid watching this weird show. I don't remember much at all but what I do remember is there was a scientist and he lived in either like a windmill type thing or a laboratory and there were these 2 kids a boy and a girl and he scientist was there friend and he one day made a potion to grow him a moustache. He tested it and he sprouted hair all over his body and the kids saved the day somehow that's the only thing I can remember. I don't even know if I dreamed it or it was an actual show. This was during blockbuster times I think it was rented and I cant think of the name I have tried every way to find out what it was.
openweird 2000's cartoon
I remember this TV show. It was live action but there was a disembodied CGI head that was green and had a tongue that looked like a spring, which had an eye on. It spat eyes. I remember that I was about 6, but im 12 now. It was creepy but wasnt intentional. Also, I think the head spun around. He was a reoccurring villain too. That's all I remember.
openLosing hours and sleep over this
I've tried seeking the information on my own and nothing I search with comes close.
I think there were only two or three seasons I saw it around 2007
The show is set in Canada I believe, there are Indians who make up a lot of the cast [modern day] and it begins with an object like a satellite falling on the frozen lake. . It has real strange breaks between scenes with odd colors. One of the main characters is a sheriff or mountie.. Into the series a government man or air force man comes looking for the fallen object. There comes to be a murder and they leave the body to freeze and move it around. It felt a little like Northern Exposure and it wasn't 60 degrees North.
openCebeebies Maze game? Videogame
So I remember playing a game on the Cebeebies websites years ago where you had to go through several mazes to deliver things to people? There was a polar bear maze, and others I can't remember. In one maze, you have to get to a picnic. It's not longer on the site and I don't remember what show it is associated with.
openAnothe apocalyptic show.
This is a television show and I believe I watched the first episode. The mother is ex-armed forces, and the father is a professor. They have fraternal twin daughters and a son who plans to join the peace corps. In the opening episode one of the daughters is dragged into the sky and the family get into their RV to find her. They join a caravan and discover that some people are being possessed by spirits, while others are infected with some disease that makes them go mad.
openMan's Hand Freezes While Playing Piano Film
I'm not entirely sure if this is a film or a TV show, but I remember channel surfing one evening and found this scene: A man is outside, perhaps in someone's rather large backyard. He is seated on a bench in front of a piano. There are lots of people watching him. The scene takes place at night, and there are tiki torches (?) lit around the backyard/courtyard. Everything is going well, until suddenly, the man's right hand freezes, and a Scare Chord is emitted (I think). The camera is now close up on the stiff right hand, where the viewer can see a ring on the man's finger. The ring has a dark, possibly black, gemstone in the center of it. It could be possible that the ring is causing his hand to freeze. It looked like the scene was slowly fading to another scene or a flashback or something, but about that time is when I changed the channel. The movie looked pretty old, probably from the 60's or 70's, and was in full color. What is this movie/show?
openWhat episode of Sesame Street is this?
Elmo, Rosita, and Abby (I think) were playing Hide and Go Seek, and the Word of the Day was "angry" because Rosita was angry and didn't want to be friends with them anymore. She was also speaking Spanish, and I think someone forgot something at one point.
openKids Murder mystery tv show with drawn robots and kids with pointy ears Live Action TV
I remember seeing a tv show after school somewhere between 1982-1985 there were children sitting like an audience all wearing Mr Spock style pointy ears. These children had to solve a murder mystery involving robots which were drawn in a static image like a comic book (but I think their mouths moved). The robots told their account of events like a testimony in court. Thats all I can remember, I cant find it or anything like it on Google.
openWhat is it called? W/ green hair girl Anime
OK the anime I'm thinking about is a cyborg or robotic girl with green hair, Green antennas that stick out where her ears should be, and she forgets all her memories and ends up living with a ex-cop/Detective type of man who lost his wife and daughter in this explosion many years before and is now a drunk who does shady work or something. Also the very first episode starts off with the green haired girl in a cloak jumping from building to building like super high and fast and then there was a pulse that rang throughout the city that made her stop working and crash to the ground and when she woke up she was found naked and all of her memories were wiped and she acts a bit like a child even though she has a body of a 15-17 year old girl. Like I remember a lot about this anime I just forgot the name and I really want to rewatch it so please and thank you if you remember ! P.s. This show was on funimation around the year of 2009-2011, I think
openIdentifying a song heard in a vid.
This is the vid where I heard it the first time at. The uploader didn't give the song's name, so I'm asking if someone here can identify it. I would at least like to know the song's name.
Edited by TheNerfGuyopenA halloween flash game?
I found this game a few years back online, i quit the game because I couldn't even beat the first dungeons monsters(I was too young to actually realize that if you run from all fights till the boss battles you won't be able to beat the boss) in the game these kids are trick or treating, they knock on the door of a haunted house and fall into this weird halloween town type place, the main character has Cloud's(ff7) hairdo and what if I remember right looked like Tidus' Brother Hood sword which went from plastic to a crystal blade, and the Big Bad if I remember was Gipetto, that's all I remember plotwise, thx for your help if you can tell me the answer! Just remembered that you got jack Skelingtion on your team, and I think a pirate, the pirate definitely taught you to fight though.
Edited by DarkastKilleropenBritish Children's TV Show, Early 2000s Live Action TV
This show most likely aired on Channel 5 in the mornings, and the year was roughly 2003/2004. It was a show about a group of puppets/actors in animal costumes who lived in a shipwreck on a beach. The 'captain' was (I think) a bear or a lion who wore a white shirt and captain's hat. He and the crew would sometimes do arts and crafts. The show would sometimes cut to the people above ground on the beach and the animals would say something like "the holidaymakers are coming!" I vividly remember a close-up shot of a glue stick in one of the craft segments for some reason.
Edited by Automaton120openTV Series with wizards and an imaginary world named Filary Film

Edited by FearlessCrab
I remember (vaguely) a show with an elephant and some zookeeper guy that would do random stuff the entire episode. The guy would usually walk over to a wall mounted dispenser that would drop some random food( or something else I can't remember) into the elephants bowl. I used to watch it in the early 2000's
