openTop-down zombie evac game. Videogame
Theres a game I saw a while back, it's a top-down perspective and you control military units trying to evacuate uninfected civilians from city districts under attack from zombies. I remember there's also some special units you can use like snipers that are put on rooftops, and I think they shoot anything within a conical killzone.
openA TV show about a gamer who becomes a secret agent Live Action TV
I think I watched this TV show around (2007-2010) I’m sure this aired on YTV and maybe possibly Nickelodeon. I remember it was about a teenager who was a high school student, I think he bought or went online and played a really popular video game, then he became the #1 best player in the world, then one day his life completely changed when a man with a bald head told him that he was hiring him to become, I think a secret agent or something similar of that profession. I remember one scene where the main character didn’t believe that what the bald man was saying was true, so the bald head man proved it by ripping off him arm revealing that he was a robot. Also the bald man said that said that if he accepted the position then the bald man would be his personal bodyguard and then after accepting he gave him a glove that shoots beams or plasma looking balls that explode on impact, a black futuristic looking air ship, that shooting lightning underneath the base of it and beams people up into it and the main character has a younger brother that through the series, comes close to finding out that his older brother (the main character) is living a double life as a secret agent. Also the main character attends high school like a normal high school student, but then if he gets called for a mission then he goes and saves the day. Also I know this TV show was targeted towards Teens.

openComic strip; little boy worries about being mostly water Print Comic
So basically, there's a comic strip that I found on the Internet where there's a little boy in a car, daydreaming, and he remembers about humans being mostly water so he worries that he'll melt if he drinks too much water, and I think he had an Imagine Spot where a narrator said he was 90% water. I think his name was 'Calvin', so maybe it was Calvin and Hobbes, except I don't remember a tiger being there.
openPBS like documentary?
We saw this show in school, the opening credits was where you like traveled through white room hallways and there were images on the walls of animals, space and "national geographic" like things. I think there was something with an eye also, but I can't remember the name of the show!
openFuzzy bear old 90s VHS.
My sister (born in 1995) used to LOVE this show when she was about three. I can't remember much about it at all, we watched it on VHS so I don't know if it was also on TV. It was partly animated partly live action. The main characters were a kid, and a talking teddy bear. I thought the name was fuzzy bear or something. I remember the bear being very sweet. The only short I really remember was when they moved to a new house. Unfortunately I don't remember anything else :( Hoping someone can help.

Edited by DiligentcatopenKid/teen show Live Action TV
I used to watch this show when I was little (about 5-7 years old) and it had a bunch of kids (non-animated) that basically ran an animal clinic. They also helped out a scientist who liked inventing weird inventions. I remember one episode where they went and searched for a chupacabra but they didn't find one, of course. Every episode they went out on missions.
openOld tv series shown maybe 10 years ago
All I remember was that there were 4 or 5 friends with (I think) super powers, once they lose their powers and ask some special guys with red, white and black costumes to return them, but they do not agree. Then those people just fight without powers and when those special guys see that they return their powers. Sorry, I almost cannot remember these series, however, they fragments of it usually appear in my head so I just want to find out what are these.

After passing the divider, the guy in the convertible starts pointing his toy gun again at who he thinks is his friend on the black motorcycle, but then turns out to be a cop who promptly pulls him over.
