openfantasy webcomic about wizard, girl and ghost
I remember stumbling into this nicely drawn, full-colour fantasy webcomic a few years ago. It was about a young, dark-skinned, bumbling (wannabe) wizard guy who meets a mysterious girl and her late brother, who's a ghost now. It had a certain clock-punk feel to it, as the characters were wearing somewhat 18th century-looking clothes.
Edited by aziukaopenan epiaode of a show Live Action TV
I remeber an episode about a guy whose birthday occurs . he and his friends decide to go to a cabin in the woods. They think the owner of the cabin is a murderer so they tie him up. It later turns out the owner of the cabin was innocent. Does anybody know the title of this episode and what series it came frome?
openScary Story series or collection with one story about a snake man Literature
I remember reading a scary story book that was either three scary stories in one book or part of a series of scary stories that didn't include the same protagonists (a la Goosebumps). The story I remember was one about a girl who lived on a military base (I think?) near a swamp in the south. The main girl meets and befriends a young native american girl whose grandmother warns them not to go into the swamp after dark (or at all, I forget) because of the snake man who lives there. I want to say his name is Lakoti, like the Lakota tribe who I think is mentioned as being the tribe the other girl and her grandma belong to, but I might be wrong. Anyway, of course they don't listen and go into the swamp and manage not to get eaten or killed because they can hear the snake guy coming because he makes a "Sss... click... click" noise. I've tried googling it but all I can find is the legend itself from the Lakota tribe IRL, but not the short story. Not sure if it helps, but I'm pretty sure the snake guy himself was on the cover, and was either gray or purplish.
openCartoon involving sheep and wolves Western Animation
I think the sheep were the main characters, and the wolves were villains. It was on DVD, and had singing in it.
openKids show about a weird boarding school Live Action TV
A live-action kids show that aired on Australian TV, probably in the Rollercoaster timeslot, at least ten years ago. It was kind of like the X-Files for kids. It was set in a boarding school for boys, although there was one female student as well (or maybe the other way around?). In one episode the protagonist got frustrated about how he would always lose one sock of a pair. When he went to investigate the dryer, he wound up in a Pocket Dimension that was literally nothing but socks.
I don't think it was Freaky, nor Seriously Weird. But I could be wrong.

openI need help remembering the name of an Amnesia plot based animated series
This series was definitely animated, although I cannot remember if it's western animation or anime. The version I watched was in English.
It's about four teenagers/young adults who wake up in an apartment with no memories of the past (suffering from amnesia?). They slowly realize that each of them has a different psychic power. For example; one could read minds, another could see the past by touching objects, etc.
They have to work for a mysterious organization to solve a mystery. I think there might have been a portal they entered to fight the Villain?? They might had have to all hold hands to release a special power to keep them safe?? I knew they weren't allowed to leave until they fulfilled the task.
Some other details I remember is that one of the main heroes is dating a female in the team. It is later revealed that in his past he was actually dating the other female in the team, but had forgotten. On the team there were two females and two males.
I can't remember much else but I did watch a couple of episodes online a few years ago. I really want to watch the series in its entirety, as it really interested me.
openFunny British show starring young men Live Action TV
Help me! Trying to figure out a TV show I saw as a kid on vacation in Scotland. Here are the clues...
- Definitely British or European because they had accents. - These men were traveling in a car. The car's stereo wouldn't shut off. They started kicking it ferociously but it just kept playing! - One of the guys goes into a convenience store to buy a few things and he tries to use all these different credit cards. - They go to visit a lady who has a diabetes attack and they cram a banana in her mouth.
Thanks in advance for the help!!!

openIt was a Zombie animation Web Original
I can remember a lot about this piece of work but I'm unsure about the shows name, characters names or it was a internet only animation. The main characters are a nervous living boy and a snarky girl zombie and she has pet I think it was a cat. In the first episode the Boy moves to the the town the series takes place in and over the course of the first episode comes to realize the town is infested with zombies. He barricades the house his parents utterly oblivious to the zombies. The zombies break in and leave a nice welcome fruit basket at the end we see the girl zombie moving around slowly and she beaks character telling him that she'll see him around. He goes to the window after she leaves and scares him. Second episode had to do with the father calling the house about something. He gets dragged off by his Zombie co workers for some unknown reason the boy panics and asks his new friend the zombie girl to help him make it across town to save his dad. After going through the zombie infested town and being chased by zombie bikers I think. The duo arrive at the dad's work place and discover he had been dragged off to fix the coffee machine. Third episode I didn't finish. It starts off with the boy running from some class mate zombies because he wore a t-shirt with "Get a Life" on it to school. He falls into a grave and gets mistaken by the classmates as being a zombie. They invite him to a party which he accepts. His friend however tells him he should drop the act and not go. I didn't see the rest of the episode. The series wasn't really long but remember it being very good quality. It was in a more western style animation. The zombies for the most part seemed to act like slower zombies groaning and shuffling along yet besides a few never act aggressive against the boy and his family. The boy seems to be the only one to recognize the zombies for what they are while his mom and dad seem oblivious that their neighbors and coworkers are zombies.
openchildren's prehistory series Literature
Ok, this I believe was a series of around 7 books, where sometime in the future we invent a time machine. Two kids win a competition, and they get to go back in time along with a bunch of adults to see prehistory, each book dealing with a specific period - so the first book was something like the primordial sea, whereas the last book was the ice age and cavemen.
They were kiddies books, so they were only about 30 pages long, square with lots of beautifully painted illustrations.
The time machine was in a ship that was triangular in shape, came to a point with the wings extending all the way to the point and the back, whereas the fuselage was a sort of hexagonal cone. It was white with a darker tip, and a dark stripe along the back edges.
I'm pretty sure there was an AI onboard the ship. Something to do with rings the kids were issued, as well? I think. At one point the kids are allowed outside to explore in the primordial sea, and one of them nearly gets eaten, as always happens in this kind of thing.
Any help would be appreciated
openPUPPET/MARIONETTE SHOW - INTRO SONG "IN THE HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING" Live Action TV
This may all be a consequence of patched up memories, but I recall a show with fantasy/mythological stories told with string marionettes and possibly stop motion. The intro featured an old man sitting by a fireplace with a dog next to him. A coin would fall down and roll through the floor and down stairs as the camera followed it. Music playing through the intro would be "In the Hall of the Mountain King" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrIYT-MrVaI . Any help finding this show would be great, thanks.
openHelp with tv show episode - escape through passage with "wrong fork" Live Action TV
I'm trying to remember a tv episode which sort of feels like a Mission Impossible, which I've been watching a lot of recently, but isn't. The details are blurry but the "bad guys" are helping people escape some place or country, taking their money, and sending them through a secret passage. I seem to remember them sliding a cabinet or bookcase or shelves out of the way to expose the passage and wishing the people good luck in their journey. They've been told that when they come to the fork in the tunnel — it's really dark in there - they should be sure to stay left (or right, I don't remember) to get to safety. It's a lie, of course, and when they choose the "right" way, they fall into a giant hole in the path and die. The "good guys" discover this and help people out and send the bad guys down the wrong side . . or something like that.

openPokemon Fan Thing Made With Plush Dolls Web Original
Many years ago, on You Tube, there was this ongoing series that was called something like "Adventures of the Pokemon" or something. It had terrible production quality (literally being footage of plush dolls) but it was freaking hilarious. A few characters and gags included a Lugia with a pet rock, best friends Pikachu and Charmander, two other Pikachus (one with a bow and one with a scarf,) a Mew with a hypnotizing doo-dad, a Mewtwo with a split personality where one half was normal and the other was a hypnosis-induced moron who was literally "the dumbest person in the world," a Lucario who thought he was Spiderman (and who was hypnotized to think he was his son Riolu, and vice versa, and a Turtwig who was the mayor. I remember it being made by a speedpainter and I think s/he was called Eevee 2 Espeon, but You Tube's search function is terribad.
The seed of the plot was that this college aged guy helped out all the clubs on campus, but the money he was using to do so came from a cash advance/credit card sort of machine and he hit is maximum balance. At some point he ends up in debt to the local organized crime boss and has to work really hard to get enough money.
Eventually he comes up with the idea of running a craigslist like trade/barter facilitation business, where he uses a pedal cargo bike thing to transport the stuff to the different people who put stuff on his site. He even does multistage trades. There are the usual setbacks and sudden emergencies to restore the status quo, and he ends up doubling his debt to the mobster at least once.
