I do not think either of these are the name of a TV show. Sounds like one of those teacher 'tricks'. Europium is, as a couple have said already, is the name of a continent. Europium in used in TV tubes, therefore it is all TV shows, well kinda!

Europium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Eu and atomic number 63. It was named after the continent Europe. Europium is the most reactive of the rare earth elements; it instantly oxidizes in air, and resembles calcium in its reaction with water; deliveries of the metal element in solid form even under mineral oil are rarely shiny. Europium ignites in air at about 150 °C to 180 °C. It is about as hard as lead and quite ductile.
