openMan knocked out and tied to bed by woman
A tv show I saw in the 80s or early 90s, looked like a crime/mystery show. There was a woman in a room being questioned by a guy kind of threatening her, he stood behind her and kept saying "You have 5 seconds to tell me", he could have been a cop I'm not sure but the woman was planning her move, she noticed the retractable cord of a hoover nearby and kind of moved to the right so the guy would have to move too- he put his leg into the electrical cord of the hoover and she turned around and hit the retract button so he was swept off his feet, she used the moment to bang something off his head as he fell to the ground and knock him out...next scene the guy is half stripped and tied down tightly to the bed with the whole length of the hoover cord, and he is gagged too. The woman leans down to him and taunts him by saying "5 seconds? I have 5 years" then walks out. That's all the detail I know. The woman seemed in her 40s, the guy a bit younger. Could have been a British dhow.
Can anyone recognise this tv show or movie please?
openMid 2ks Sitcom That i Enjoyed Live Action TV
I have asked a couple other places, but cant seem to fins this show. I remember it was a sitcom from probably the mid 2ks, and I remember enjoying it. I only remember one episode, I think the characters tried to rent a motel to have sex in, but couldnt get a room. Then a storm/tornado/hurricane happened and they rushed into a storm cellar and started having sex in the dark. Then an end of episode gay happened when what I think were amish people lit a lantern and looked at the people in shock.
This is all I remember.

Edited by nokikiopenNo title Western Animation
A CGI animated edutainment cartoon about space/astronomy. The characters were anthropomorphic celestial bodies and constellations, and the main group were all stars. One of them was The Sun, and their leader was much larger than the others and named "Super Star" or something. I don't know if he was even based on a real star, but I could be wrong.
open80s themed jukebox musical Film
I once saw part of a Jukebox Musical film where the songs were all top 40 hits from the 80s. I think the premise might have been a group of women who went to college together in the 80s reuniting for a vacation sonewhere exotic - at any rate I remember a mostly female cast, Scenery Porn, and hits from the 80s being sung in a present day setting. The only specific number I remember was "Don't You Want Me", which actually averted the Isn't It Ironic? effect - the context was an annoyingly persistent ex boyfriend trying to win back one of the main characters.

Edited by BootlebatopenOId Bomberman Flash Game Videogame
I'm trying to find a really old flash game that I used to play. The game had the bomber man gameplay, but instead of bombs, its water balloons. You play as japan girl who if I can remember, wears red clothing. I believe you fight turtles, but I'm not sure. The game had a similes style to japan chibis and I think the game was in Japanese. Sorry if there isn't much detail since I don't remember it too much.
Edited by RobortNoopenKids mystery - Detective and young boy
I am looking for the name of a show. What I do know: It was about a young boy who helped a detective. I am pretty sure that:
- the detective wore a hat and resembled Eric Idle/ Gele Wilder
- It is from the 90s
- The kids mother also had a role to play
What I am unsure of:
- It was English spenning, maybe britisk
- could Disney have been allowed
- Was the detective hopeless?
openSuperhero show or maybe a dream. Western Animation
Disclaimer: I might be crazy enough to create an entire cartoon series since I’m trying to find this show after I woke up from dreaming about it. Now the show...
The one episode I dreamt about was when a spider-like creature (this creature had 8 legs was flat but slimy had a red dot and a yellow dot encompassing that one in its center, the rest of its body was green.) when this creature came in contact with water it would grow larger and larger into a giant slime ball. The superhero (the name eludes me) could fly and might have had super strength. (Their costume was weirdly similar to that of The Flash, a red suit and a lighting bolt in the middle of the chest.) The superhero decayed this creature by leading it away from water and destroying the surrounding area making a deep crevice around the monster, keeping it trapped, without a constant supply of water the creature shrinked back to its spider-like appearance. From here it was captured then might have either been destroyed somehow or was kept for study.
If this is a dream it was a cool one (lol), but if this was an actual show I would love your guys’s help in finding out what the show was called. Thank you in advance to all those who try and help me. Thank you.
openTV show from around 2013 I think Live Action TV
A group of boys are playing in the woods or something but they don’t let this one boy join in (who has learning difficulties) and so he goes off and comes back with a sword or a gun or something and chases them and maybe kills one of them? Please help me, I have been trying to find the name of this show for ages. I think it’s from BBC maybe?
openPlease name the movie title Film
I saw a short scene from the movie on youtube. Maybe a teenager movie. The scene i saw takes place in an amusement park and especially, a teenage looking girl about 16 years old, in a short skirt bends over and a guy and another woman see her behind. So what's the movie?
openWebcomic: a cartoon artist is trying to slip his fetish into a cartoon Webcomic
The artist is pitching his story idea for a cartoon episode to the rest of the team including his inflation fetish.One of the people says "great but we can cut the inflation part because it adds nothing to the plot and would be time consuming to make" and then the artist stars sweating because he wants to keep it in the cartoon but doesn't want to admit he has a fetish.
openSuperhero show Live Action TV
So I remember that it was a really old superhero tv show, but i can’t remember if it was and white or color. It had this kid sidekick in it that was constantly in trouble. Any ideas?
openBook about island of teachers? Literature
Some kid some either gets separated from a field trip or intentionally gets on a helicopter (Sneaks away from field trip group) that takes him to an island for/made by/related to teachers. The helicopter lands (I believe) in a soccer field. At some point the kid is going down a valley that is either compared to a pencil or is named after a pencil (Pencils's point or something) because it gets really narrow. I believe her is being followed in the valley or someone is yelling from the top. I believe the kid discovers a conspiracy involving teachers (telling kids the wrong things, stuff like that I believe.) I believe that the kid spray paints something on the soccer field.
openOld Alphabet VHS Film
I remember watching this old video about the Alphabet when I was young, but I don't exactly remember the title. It has some weird guy in a uniform and a psychedelic background. What was this video?
openHelp me find this anime !! Anime
I saw a student in my class watching this anime, and the anime mostly took place in a school with uniforms and I kept seeing this little boy with black spikey looking hair and another older teen with yellow spiked hair. It looked like a clean (appropriate) show does anyone know what I’m talking about ?
Edited by MWA16openOld short story/novel about mage humans and advanced aliens
Okay, I remember this old short story or novel that I used to had. It was located in a old yellowed paperback or well-worn Science Fiction/Fantasy magazine, probably between 1950-1980's but I lost it.
The plot is about a group of alien scientists or somewhat like that who come in a spaceship going down to Earth. The aliens resembled humans in shape except they come from another planet. They engage in first contact with ancient/medieval-level humans who wield magic, lived by a Schizo Tech kingdom or empire of some sort powered by ethereal substance and had mythical creatures they tamed.
In the story, the aliens are shown the humans' gods, mystical places, supernatural creatures and their energy source. The main characters wonder at the sights of magic and the supernatural, questioning themselves, "How does science and all its explanations justify this?".
In the end, the aliens return back to their ship, collecting their research on humans and their world and leaving Earth with the intent of reporting to their superiors. The story ends with a sense of wistfulness and ephemerality.
What is this story?
openCartoon
Okay so I remember this cartoon that I used to watch when I was little it was about late nineties, early 2000’s. It was about this guy I think his name was George or something who would like wake up everyday and go to this big lab thing he had under his house, with like this big screen and a lever that he would pull to make it day and night. He also had a wive and kid(s) and I remember this like moody teenage daughter who would always chew pink bubble gum. I remember there was an episode where the guy thought he could walk on water but then it was his wife and daughter who put chairs under the swimming pool.Does anyone possibly remember this? 😅
