openTv Show in 2000s Western Animation
This was a tv show aired sometime in the 2000s-2010 probably later on in 2000s about the adventures of people who had kind of familiars who would come from like amulets or something, kinda similar to pokemon but not, it might have originally been anime but pretty sure it was western animation, would be really great if anyone knew what this was at all
openChalkZone Episode Western Animation
I'm trying to remember the name of a certain episode of Chalk Zone. It's the one listed in the Nightmare Fuel section that says "Rudy being forced to have a dirty diaper put around his head."
opendimension travel artifact/tech Western Animation
I'm trying to remember an animated show from the 90s or early 2000s where some kind of dimension artifact/tech transported at least three people into a weird alien medieval-ish dimension where at least some of the inhabitants were non-human. The main character was Indiana Jones like with a standard hero quarterback build. The other two were a big muscle guy best friend who has above average intelligence for the standard big muscle guy in animation at the time, and he mostly held off the enemies whenever the hero needed time to figure out a puzzle or defeat the bag guy of the episode. The third character was the female action love interest who was capable of taking out a few mooks on her own but fewer than the other two.
There was at least one episode where they had to fight in a gladiator arena and another where there was a big evil tower that they needed to infiltrate/fight there way up where a high up bad guy was. The show goal was trying to find away home and maybe understand some of the ancient artifacts/tech from a long lost civilization.
I think maybe the season/series finale had them getting home with a shot of the three (or more) characters standing in a room with lots of glass windows (some broken) with a rainstorm outside and one character stating that they were back home in the exact room where they were originally transported.

Edited by Hv8055openAnimated Show with a weird game Western Animation
I'm trying to remember the name of a show where these kids played some weird card game, but the way to get cards was to enter this virtual reality world where all the monsters and types of cards had to have their pictures taken in a certain way in order to use the card. There was also two ways to play the game, with just cards, and where you would take control of your chosen monster in a virtual battle, and the characters would turn into the monster that they're using.

openit's driving me insane Western Animation
I'm trying to remember a show or movie, it had a giant lady superhero shows up some ninja with wooden arms that can turn into branches.

Mc gets saved by a hero he worships, and as the hero goes to fly away but mc is holding onto his leg. That's all the deets I recall at this time, help me. Please and thank you

openAlternate theme song to Baby Looney Tunes Western Animation
I remember that when I saw Baby Looney Tunes for the first time the show had two theme songs back to back. First this one I can't find, then the usual one we all know.
This first theme song was animated in a completely different style than the show, like the characters had this lucid effect like the Baby Bugs on top of the show logo. The music was completely instrumental and was some kind of carillon tune, and the visuals had the main characters playing in the nursery. But the thing I remember most was that, along with the usual characters it featured Baby Wile E. Coyote and Baby Marvin. The former was shown sleeping and dreaming about chasing Baby Road Runner (and failing), while the latter was giving a bath to Baby K9.
openSHORT OF CARTOON NETWORK Western Animation
When I was a child, I used to watch this shorts between ads in cartoon network. I remember there was one about a kid in school, his teacher was teaching about the Pythagoras theorem, the kid had a friend that was a pencil. As far as I remember, the kid and the pencil travel around dimensions, I think the reason was because the teacher needed a glass of water, or something like that.
A friend told me that is the same director as KND and Chimpy the monkey, but I am not sure about that info. Please help me! I am gonna die!

Edited by GeekyGoatopenWhat episode of The Smurfs is this? (Still looking...) Western Animation
I hope it's fine if I ask about an episode. Anyhow, I was looking around on the character sheet page of The Smurfs and saw trope entries that mention Gargamel beating the crap out of his godfather Lord Balthazar (who otherwise frightens him) for hurting Azrael, and I want to see the episode where it happens so bad. The page suggests it's the second Christmas special, but I've looked around on the Internet and neither the Christmas specials nor regular Christmas-based episodes (Baby's First Christmas and The Magic Sack Of Mr. Nicholas) even mention Balthazar on their Wikia pages (though it's possible it might be misleading info). I'm not entirely sure where to continue searching without resorting to watching every single episode. Could anyone please tell if they know what episode is this?
Edited by Eggy0openShow about a magazine Western Animation
Both me and my sister remember a TV show about a boy who was somehow pulled into a magazine, and a girl from the magazine world that wanted to leave it and go into the real world. Does anyone know what the show was called?
open90's Dog adventure tv series Western Animation
There was this show I used to watch back in the late 90's. A group of dogs are on a journey to get home to their owner, I think he's called Pete. There were 5/6 dogs, two smallish and the other three a bit larger. One of them was a sheepdog. They don't were people clothes and the animation style is similar to "All Dogs Go To Heaven" sorry I can't give anymore information but it has been such a long time since I last saw it. Many thanks in advance if you can help.
openLate Night Cartoon, Old School Animation, 90s or early 2000 about people on the moon Western Animation
I don't remember the exact years, but it was most likely late 90s, early 2000s. It was for "older audiences" thus only on after midnight. I don't even remember the network it was on, but I do remember it was similar animation to John Callaghan's Quads. I don't remember the premise of the show, expect one episode: there were a small group of people on the moon and, in the one episode I remember, the scientist character (old man) was trying to communicate with his beloved pet fish and makes a mind-reading machine. The protagonist is like the modern Fry from Futurama and in this episode he hears about the dark side of the moon is creeping towards a spot he was suppose to meet the girl love interest who is waiting for him(?). There's a few other side characters, but mainly those three were the focal points. ... The more I describe it the more its starting to sound like Futurama, but it wasn't. I can clearly and distinctly see that stupid pet fish with the mind-reading machine and the image on the computer screen is a farm animal (cow? sheep? duck?).
Thanks in advance for reading that. I've been trying to hunt down this show for YEARS because I actually think I imagined the whole thing....
- UPDATE: after MUCH searching: the TV show is "Captain Star" on Teletoon, 1997-1998! OMG! I'm not insane! I'm not crazy! This has haunted me for YEARS!!!!!!!*
openCartoon that was on an English channel, maybe Citv or cartoon network? Western Animation
The intro always started out on how a good guy turned bad and joined the baddies. I don't even really remember how the fighting was done. Maybe swords? It was kind of futuristic as in the main character basically lived in a flying ship thing with his friends. It was blue vs reds if i remember correctly. Sorry this is so vague

openMy lost TV show... Western Animation
Hi, Sorry for the length of the post, but this TV show really matters to me.
I saw this TV show around 8-11 years ago as a kid, because of that I vaguely remember some parts of episodes and some other things. I was really moved by this show as a kid and I really wish I could re watch it. I'l try my best to describe it . This TV show is about some guy in the future who works as a part of a company or group I think that travels time using a time machine on his ship. I remember that he had a boss or supervisor or so that If i'm not wrong his "thing" was that he was always chewing on an apple or so. The show begins when the guy travels to the medieval times. His task was just to spectate a wedding I think between some king and a woman. That woman had red hair if I'm not wrong. During the wedding I can recall him sitting on a branch of a tree in a brown hood spectating the wedding or ceremony when something happened and he intervened with it although he wasn't allowed to. This resulted in him escaping with the woman with red hair back to the ship and they then time traveled someplace else. During the show they are most of the time in the future and I can recall them visiting a sort of futuristic city with a lot of different types of aliens and I can recall that in one episode the woman asked one of the aliens if they knew someone from earth and the alien said that he never heard of a planet called earth and he has never seen someone like her ( a human) (I'm not that sure about that last part though). In the end of the series the guy figures out that the present he knew is gone forever I think and eventually they travel back to 19th or so century Paris and the woman decides she wants to stay there and quit adventuring with the guy. Throughout the series the go through many adventures together and they also try to find a way to get back to the guys present because his time machine broke after the first episode I think. To be honest I'm not even sure if its western Animation of Japanese anime but I'm pretty sure that its western. I know that this is a long shot but I swear I remember watching that as a kid. If anyone has the slightest clue what this could be it will be extremely helpful.

Im trying to find a show I watched as a kid on CN. It was centered on an old man that had a living cane with a nose and traveled across the stars with his crew looking for a castle made of light. Anyone knows it?
