openi 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.

open1980s Techno knights cartoon Western Animation
I'm trying to find one of those merch-driven 1980s cartoons. It took place in a distant future where technology had stopped working and the world had reverted to a sort of knights of the round table style fantasy England deal. The heroes and villains received magical powers from a wizard or dragon or something. Some of the characters had these battle standards that could give them a specific superpower after they received some long winded catchphrase, the others could activate derelict technological artifacts.
openMUSIC VIDEO CLIP FROM THE EARLY-MID 2000's Music
So I know it isnt a tv show but I've had this music video stuck in my head for a long time, yet I cant remember the song or the lyrics. It started off with the singer (cant remember who but I know he was dark skin, like african american or maybe south african) and he worked at an icecream shop. He was in the car dreaming about this girl (the love interest) and was woken up by his mother who shouted at him to get his mind off of the girl and to get out and work. That's when the song started playing. If anyone can find this song you'd make me very happy!! It was on like one of those So Fresh type cds (I've already gone through the track list of every cd) and I think it was released around 2007 give or take a few years. Thanks :)
openMimi the poodle Film
A story about three dog friends who go through hardship. One dog was red. One was scruffy with hair over the eyes. One was a poodle called Mimi. Under a large pine tree, they decided they couldn't stay together, so decided to go their separate ways and promised to meet each other in the first snow. Mimi the poodle got captured by a circus like ringmaster character and forced to perform. The ringmaster treated her very badly. The scruffy poodle was taken in by a homeless man with a white beard. He was treated well. The big dog somehow was around a school playground, I think. The red dog eventually finds mimi the poodle performing and sets her free. The three dog friends eventually find each other again at the first snow. The scruffy dog takes them back to the homeless man, who decides to take them all in. They stay together until the ending.
This show was aired possibly in 1990 but no later than 1995 to my recollection. The drawings were simple. Thanks in advance.
openA Hans Christian Mystery Film
The basic premise is of the little mermaid story, but the drawings, though very simple, looked slightly anime-ish. The mermaid was called Freida (? unsure of the spelling) and she had these two little sidekicks. One was pink with a oval round nose and sounded like he had a cold when it spoke. The other sidekick was a female and drawn larger than the pink sidekick. I think she was white. The one scene I remember was of the prince riding through the forest, then next he was on the grass on his back, laughing with the girl he chose to marry. Freida and her sidekicks were in the distance watching them while Freida does a voice-over. She does a lot of voice over. Freida hiding behind a blue-sh white curtain, pulling it aside and another voice-over debating whether she can do it (kill the prince) or not. A scene showing her hand holding a thin knife, trembling. An anguished Freida wailing silently, voice over saying she can't do it. In the end, she flings herself to the sea. The scene ends with her two sidekicks pink and white lamenting her turning to sea foam and the sun dawning as the ending notes start.
This show was aired maybe around 1990, maybe earlier or just after. Thank you for any suggestions
openClay Dragons that are somehow alive? Literature

openKid TV show
There was something I watched when I was little I can't remember it that much but it was about these kid's who go into some kind of forest and meet this guy with blue shaggy hair and yellow clothes he had this problem with his legs when he heard music his legs would shake uncontrollably when he heard music so his legs shaked and they found these people who were playing the drums. That's all I can remember from my memory it may not be much to lead on but if anyone knows what I'm talking about please tell me.i wanna watch it again.
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

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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
