There was a show about a girl that lived in the Ocean, wore tattered cloths, could breathe underwater and had a whale as her friend.
The main plot of the story was that she was friends with two brothers who lived in an underwater research center and nobody could know about her.
The opening of the show was an instrumental played in a pan flute with the whale's cries in the background and the title was "A Rapariga do Mar" (The girl of the Sea) in Portuguese but I'm pretty sure that it didn't have that name in English.

Okay, this was a short-lived kids' show from the nineties. I'm pretty sure it aired on Saturday mornings, but don't quote me on that.
Anyway, the premise involved a kid who had converted his attic into a hi-tech computer lab with a sort of Batcave feel, which he would use to play pranks on people. The title was something like "Television Dairy" or "Video Diary", but searching for those isn't turning up results. The intro involved the other characters (such as his family) being distorted by him, photoshop style.
The one episode I can remember clearly had him needing to take care of a baby doll as if it were an actual child for a class assignment. About the same time, his parents' conversations make him believe that they're having another kid, so he modifies the doll to be as gross as possible to change their minds (having it "vomit" up pea soup and so on), but it turns out they were just talking about buying a new fan. Not sure how those two got confused, but hey, it was years ago.
Any ideas?

A show I must have watched years ago, probably as reruns on the Sy Fy Channel. The only episode I remember was where a young woman travels through a hedge maze at her local collage, only to emerge on the other side to an empty campus.
Some weird stuff happens as the woman wanders around looking for someone, including her stumbling upon a man who killed himself by sticking his head in an oven in the cafeteria, and coming into a lecture hall where a professor babbles on about nonsense to an audience of students who the woman horribly discovers to all be dead.
Eventually she finds a sane guy, who maybe she knows( I don't remember) in the library. There he explains to her that an monster asteroid is on an unstoppable path to destroy the Earth, and that most people have either killed themselves or are hiding underground. The woman sees magazines and newspapers that confirm this, reveling that she's been transported to some sort of alternate universe.
She decides she might get back to her world by going through the maze in reverse, and the guy joins her to escape his doomed universe. They make it just in time, with the sirens starting, and a bizarre wind coming up. But, something happens to the guy that makes the woman lose him, and she ends up back in the normal, not-doomed world alone.

Anybody remember a Western TV show that aired on ABC in the late 80's-early 90's, I think...
The show had a father-son team who were both expert marksmen with six shooters (the six shooters were broken or modified some way. I remember the father's guns being "fixed" by the son and he couldn't shoot worth a darn anymore), a black character who was a cardshark/gambler who was also an expert with explosives, a guy that was superhumanly strong, I think a guy who was good with rope?
I can remember the theme music, I can even remember the commercials/advertisements. It was pushed rather heavily by ABC and TV Guide.
BUT I CANT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE SHOW!

I used to watch a children's show in the mid to late nineties, possibly English. I think that there were two main characters, both boys who discovered an alien (?) time machine or something like that. I can only really recall one episode when one of the boys put his hand in a hole in the machine which made his arm green and scaly.

The Adventures Of Kevin And Daisy. I know it exists. I'm pretty sure it was on Animal Planet. It was about the guy named Kevin and his female Bulldog (IIRC) named Daisy. I can not find any information on it. I can not find a Wikipedia article on it. I can not find the slightest mention of it on the Internet. Where the heck did it go?

I remember reading about this show in a Disney Adventures magazine in the early 2000's. There's a girl, and she goes to school, but she's also secretly a mystical ninja warrior or something. It mentioned her having a younger brother, wearing a medallion around her neck that protected her, and using her ninja skills for Mundane Utility, like getting to class on time, carrying huge armfuls of books, and knocking a cookie out of her brother's hand from across the cafeteria by throwing a tube of lipstick. (I don't know if she actually did these things in the show.)

Not sure if this is entirely in the spirit of YKTS, given it isn't a vague recollection of half-remembered images, but can anyone ID https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99POGwDZXJk
? There are seemingly 5 other people that want to know, and the uploader is ... less than forthcoming.
In unrelated news, either I or You Tube can't count.

The protagonist is Born Unlucky, and, well, that's the main driving point of the show. One episode dealt with him marrying his girlfriend, he was going downstairs, knocked a old woman down, and she went into coma (and just so happened to be a relative of some sort). What's that?

It was a kid's game show on Nickelodeon back in the 90's that was obstacle-course based with a sort of Aztec theme to it.

I'm looking for an Animal Planet show where Mother Nature would narrate over stock footage of animals.

A very short-lived TV show from the late '90s/early '00s (definitely before 2002) about, I believe, a group of knights, one of which (the only one I remember distinctly) was black with blue armor. Other characters included a woman with glowing green eyes and a short, pointy-eared man (when I say short, I mean about two inches tall). Mc Donald's or Burger King had a toy line of it for a little while, which included pieces of a toy dragon that came with each character. I don't know what station it ran on, but I recall it being cancelled pretty quickly.

I think this was a show on Nickelodeon about a girl who could turn herself to liquid. Pretty much revolved around her keeping this ability a secret. All That did something involving it at one point.

Okay, so I was in a Fry's with my mum yesterday, and she mentioned this British television show that was around (she thinks) twenty years ago. The main character was a professor at either Oxford or Cambridge, and he and one of his students investigated paranormal/supernatural shit. Either the student or the professor was a vampire or a werewolf or something like that. She thinks it was played here in America on PBS. That's all she knows about it. She doesn't remember what in the hell it was called, but she'd really like to know. (And I must admit, it sounds intriguing, so I wouldn't mind knowing myself.) Anyone have even the foggiest idea what that show was?

It was a show that dealt with the paranormal. The main character was a guy (his name might have been Adam) who had a twin that died, but he thinks his twins is still alive (and he might be!) It was on FOX I think and it aired sometime around the year 2002.

There was this show I saw when I was younger, it was about this guy in space with two robots who watch movies in between skit comedy. I barely remember anything about it, except they tended to poke fun at the movies.

I'm looking for a show probably from the late 90's or early 2000's. The only episode I remember is about the female main character and her boyfriend(?) who discover this woman's plot to turn people into dogs through this red/pink liquid. The boy is turned into a dog along with a bunch of other characters and the girl finds a way to change them back. I remember when she turned the boy back she poured the liquid in his water bowl and threw his clothes at him so she wouldn't see him naked. At the end they turn the evil lady into a dog using her own potion-thingy and she remarks that she "never really liked being human anyway." I saw this when I was around 5 or 6, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. I'm pretty sure everything is accurate, but please don't rule anything out if it sounds vaguely similar.

Saw this on cable sometime in the 90's. I think it was a 10-15 minute segment of a larger show. Anyway, the story is that some high-school kid is in chemistry class, messing around with some pink and blue chemicals. He accidentally spills just the right combination onto a magazine laying on the floor, and the chemicals landed on the picture of a dog, which made a real life dog appear. He realizes what happened, and what's the first thing he does? Takes the chemicals home and grabs as many magazines as he can containing supermodels so he can make himself a girlfriend. His first attempt created a woman so huge she couldn't fit in the room. The second attempt only created the top-half of a woman because that's all there was in the photo. And the final attempt worked perfectly, except that the kid's friend/roommate or whatever only proceeded to cock-block him and take his new woman.
I remember the whole plot, but can't think of the name of the episode/show. This has been bugging me forever.

It was a kids show late 90's and 00's a kid could turn his arm into different things, it was sci-fi and had a Mcdonalds toy line that went with it. Saturday morning cartoon, I only saw one episode sorry I can't give any more.

I was wondering about an Australian show where there's a kid (Named Paul if I recall correctly) that during summer camp(?) gets lost in a cave that has a portal to another dimension of some sort.
I think it had something to do with a solar eclipse. In the dimension he arrived to Eclipses were still considered a bad omen and they were pretty clueless about our science I think. I'm not sure if Paul was considered some sort of Wizard since he told them that he'd make the sun reappear or if that was another series.
On one of the later episodes the Big bad who was a red headed woman had some sort of suit with magnets that allowed her to float in a cage or something, and in a later season another kid falls into another dimension where everything is asian themed.
