openPlease help Western Animation
I️ can not for the life of me remember this show in my mind. It’s about a bunch of teenagers and they duel in a high tech facility. They duel with a deck of 10 monsters on cards. They physically become these monster in a virtual world, and the duel ends when one persons deck of ten monsters is wiped out. Also the main character always uses a humanoid monster cover in fire. Please help. Ask more questions if I’m not specific enough. Thanks!
openA 3D animated show with 4 superheroes?
Okay, I remember a show that I saw on TV when I was around 10 years old? The character I remember most is a girl named Kaitlyn who was blonde, short hair, and her main color was pink. The show had four super hero kids who did something? There was a darker skinned girl who had low twin buns and her theme was yellow. The title had "4" and "monsters" in it..? Help me
opena recent anime Anime
I'm looking for a anime that I believe starts with C , I remember the main character was a male with black hair and he had this ability to control his "dog" with his hair ,it wasn't really a dog it had the ability to shapeshift. The only other thing I remember was there was a girl he met and at some point this ability got switched to her momentarily and there was one other guy who had the same power. When they used the power a little antenna that looks like Their hair stands up on their head.
Edited by EntetnameuseropenOld movie with characters sent to another world Film
Hi everyone, I'm searching for a movie I used to watch when I was a kid (during the 80's, but the movie itself could be older). All I remember is that in this movie a strange green pyramid appears in a kid's room and strange things happens, and the characters end in a an other world or the future, can't really tell.... Loved this thing I would like to see it again, thanks in advance for the help !
openChainsaw Murder House/Maze Live Action TV
I believe this was on a TV show when I was a young child. This would have been in the earlier 2000s.
Regardless, I vaguely recall the details of this scene. It opened with a scene of a man who was torturing people with a chainsaw and the lighting was unusual. She eventually escapes that area and goes through a complex set of corridors that is set up as a murderhouse maze. It's similar to the one found on Season 7 of Dexter when Dexter is chased by the axe murderer. There is even a scene where I believe she is chased by a dog and she ends up at some point in a room with hanging dead bodies. I also vaguely recall a scene where someone was on a table going past incinerators. I wish I could be less vague but I haven't been able to recall where this was from.
openSupernatural manga where the main character dies in the beginning Print Comic
I remember reading a manga several years ago, but I can't remember a single thing about it other than some vague concepts and a single scene. If I'm recalling correctly, the main male character is killed in some way (I thought he might have been hit by a car) and is brought back to life. I think he's made immortal as well, and he's teamed up with a girl (or two?). All I really remember vividly is a scene where they're looking for some invisible enemy armed with piano wire, who attacks the main male by trying to strangle him with it to where it slices into his neck. The girl/s take out the enemy and talk while the boy lays bleeding out on the floor. I don't think it's Highschool DXD, as I don't remember the MC being a pervert or the series relying on fanservice, but I could be wrong.
openLive-action show with a lot of language warnings? Live Action TV
I remember as a child I was waiting for my favourite TV show to come on, but the show that was on at that moment was not the one, so I decided to wait through it. I wasn't really watching it so I can't be too specific but every few scenes (I'm sure it happened at least four times, maybe even like ten), the screen would go black and white writing would say (and a monotone voice would read out) "The following scene contains language of a frank and—-*(a whole lot of other stuff I can't remember)*". The only real scene I remember was a man and a woman arguing. The woman was white with dark hair and the man was black and I think he was bald and had a goatee. The man was lying on a couch and acting like he was in pain and the woman was crying, I think.
openAn British show about Kings/Princes and from around the 1960
So I am looking for a show that I've never watched myself but currently am watching an adaptation of it in another language. Its been said it comes from a British tv show from around the 1960. I hope I can explain correctly seeing as i've never seen the original. So all the information I have is from someone who has seen the show but does not know its name. The show is about a king with three sons and a daughter. The youngest son is known to be a playboy. He fall in love with the heroine of the story and she with him. The young prince makes her out to be a whore (in my version) and the relationship is over even before it began. The middle prince is the hero of the story, he is trustworthy and honest and handles his fathers affairs. He slowly falls in love with our heroine but thinks it's forbidden because his younger brother loved her first. Our heroine has a younger sister who gets pregnant by shepherd(who is a drugsdealer?!) and eventually marries the king. The youngest child of the king, his princess daugther, marries this shepherd. The shepherd moves in to the castle with the princess to get revenge on his ex who is also now his mother-in-law(she married the king). These two girls also have an awful mother who is only out to get rich. The heroine decided to take revenge on the young playboy prince by being close to the hero, the middle prince. While these things are happening the heroine falls in love with the hero too and by the ending of the series they get married. The playboy prince finds himself attracted to his stepmom and eventually they fall in love with each other and run away together, upon which the king gets sick and his trustworthy son takes over the crown.

openLooking for book I read where female mc is called "female/next Holden Caulfield" Literature
(2/2) On the cover there was a distance picture of the female mc from behind I believe, the title had a lady's name in it I think that name begins with G,B,J,or E (it's not the Bell Jar), the color was tan off white for the outside of the book with Violet purple for the text on the back that possibly described her as being more cheerful or morose than Holden Caulfield only she was older. My library had it for sale but when I went recently it wasn't there. It's one of those books I'm not sure it was a memoir and I would instantly know if it was the book I'm looking for as soon as I see it. When I looked at the front it gave me a Catcher in the rye/Scott Fitzgerald feel kind of. The time frame it might've taken place is 1920-1970. Well a reviewer compared the main female character as Salinger's Holden and there might've been mention of jazz and drums on the back for something, either to describe a character and her likes, or the time period.
Edited by WriterGirl2015openCartoon/anime with two female friends Anime
So I just randomly remembered this cartoon or anime I used to watch in my early pre-teens, so maybe around the late 2000's? But I really can't remember much about it except there were these two girls who would transform and become some type of heroes of the sort, one would transform into this white and blue outfit and the other was pink and black (I think), one of them had a pixie cut and the other had long dark hair. I think I watched it on teletoon or something but I just cannot remember anything other than that and it's bugging me.
openI NEED to find this kid/toddler tv show Live Action TV
Hello everyone. About two months ago I was talking with my sister about kid shows we used to watch when we were kids. I was able to remember most of them kinda clearly, but suddenly I started remembering about this one show I didn't really watch very often. I couldn't remember its name so I googled just a few things about it but I didn't manage to find it. At this day, more than two months later, I tried again but I got the same results. I'm starting to get obsessed with it and I don't know know what could happen in case I didn't find this goddamn show lol. All I remember is that it was a kid/toddler show with tiny monsters/characters living inside a big sofa which was probably blue. In each episode (or maybe just in the episode I remember) they got out of the sofa with a sort of a spaceship I guess through a tunnel. In that episode, they also fought against a big green virus/blob and defeated him. P.S. I'm not talking about Tiny Planets or The Big Comfy Couch. If anyone was able to find this, I'd be so thankful to him lol :)
openmedieval sci fi comedy Film
Ok, this is a weird one. A comedy film about a medieval knight and his crew in some other planet or a spaceship abducted by a single-gender race of dwarf orange aliens (all played by little people) with weird noses. The knight dresses like King Arthur in the Monty Python movie and at some points faces his own clon.
openKids Show Live Action TV
American - 90s or the 20s - 2 main characters were live action, but the rest were puppets. These 2 men lived in a house, the main room being a living room with a bunch of doors. the doors led the differents worlds i think. when they wanted to go downstairs, they did the 'bend down behind the couch thing'
openMurder mystery and fake pot
I can't remember anything except there was this group of people who wanted someone dead so they had someone fake high so he could get arrested as part of an elaborate batman gambit that would end with their friend meeting an untimely demise.
openKids Cartoon - Giant Computer?
There was a giant computer and the main character's friend he was the son of the evil guy, but he didn't know that. It was like the animation of Dexter's Lab. The went to a school and the teacher (I don't know if he was the headmaster or not) and he had a green face, and he was very slim. He also always sat in a hover chair thing.
openMagazine related show Western Animation
There was this show from awhile back. I cant remember if it was on okto or kidscentral. It was about a boy getting sucked into this magazine world where he meets this girl inside and they travel from page to page. I thought the show was called magazine mania but I couldn't find it anywhere on the internet. If someone knows the show im referring to, please do tell me.
open90's edutainment game with a space robot? Videogame
There was this game I had for Windows when I was very young. I'm fairly certain it was an Edutainment Game. Note that since I was so young, there is a lot I don't remember about it, but I'll do my best to describe it.
From what I remember, I'm pretty sure it was released sometime in The '90s. The sprites had a 3-D, early CGI look to them. The game starred a cute little robot living in outer space.
I'll try and describe the robot as best as I can, since that's really the only thing I remember about the game: I'm pretty sure the robot was female. She had a round head with two antennae, and a cone-shaped body to look like a skirt. Rather than legs, she had a little thruster that shot out sparks so she could fly. I think she also had springs for arms.
We used to have a mousepad with a picture of this robot character, but it may have just been custom-made. I, or one of my siblings, must have really liked the game back then.
Anyway, does anyone have any ideas on what this is? I know it's not much to go on...
Edited by DrNoPumaopenTV Show Live Action TV
This episode of whatever show it is begins with a man getting off of a train and as he enters the train station an old man in a chair tells him that he has waited for him for a long time, in order to kill him. The other guy replied with, "that's strange because I'm here to kill you." I really need to figure this out! Who are the actors and what is the show, please!?!?!?
I remembered these days about a TV show or a movie that I used to watch when I was a kid and the only thing I could remember is that there was a necklace and the person (or a specific person) who wore it could read minds. Any ideas?
EDIT: when: 7-10 years ago where: the national tv post in Romania (TVR)
