resolved Flash Game were you create Colorful Flowers (SOLVED) Web Original
Back in middle school, some of my classmates introduced me to a game where you great flowers. The process involved taking a selection of seeds and DNA of sorts and combining them together to create different types of colorful flowers. If you wanted to save a particular one, you can copy the number code at top. The background was just the blue sky with the fertilizer being depicted by a simple brown floor.

openDiscovery Channel Survival Series Live Action TV
15 or 20 years ago, the Discovery Channel ran a survival series regarding survival stories in different climates/conditions. One was about Alan Cooper, who tried to drive his Morris car from Kenya north through the Sahara desert and died with some of his companions. The 2nd was a couple and their baby that got stuck in a snowstorm (after Hot-tubing) and left their car to find a ranger station and the wife died from eating snow in order to produce breast-milk. The 3rd was about Juliane Koepcke, the only survivor of a plane crash in the jungle and was rescued by a canoe. Another nights episode told the story of a family driving in an African desert and got a flat tire, were stranded and the husband was picked up by someone with a car that he got into an argument with, then when he finally got back,his family was dead from the heat. What is the name of this series and how can I view it again?

open(FOUND) Fantasy/sci-fi show featuring a guy with a zip on the back of his head Live Action TV
FOUND - it's the miniseries Tin Man.
So I'm looking for a TV show, sci-fi/fantasy genre. I think it was British. One of the main characters is a white man with dark hair tied up/in braids/dreads (?) and a reeeeally characteristic zip on the back of his head. I've only seen the first episode and I think part of it was set in a forest. There was also a female lead character involved. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Edited by hatchworth
openOnline game trilogy where a guy has to save his home and his dog Videogame
So I'm trying to remember the name of this game. Only the first two incarnations are available for free. It was kind of an adventure game with puzzle-solving aspects. The main character is a little guy dressed all in white with a floppy white hat, kind of like an elf hat. I remember he also used to say "oh no" in this really high pitched voice. The other really memorable thing was the art style. While most of the characters were drawn 2d, there were other characters that were created using a fix of 2d drawing and real life images, such as human faces plastered onto a squirrel's face. Also the main character's ship was an aluminium can of soup (if I recall correctly). In the first game the character has to divert a planet away from crashing into his own planet (which is must smaller). In the second game he has to save his dog who is kiddnapped by green aliens looking for fruit. That's all I can really remember.
Nevermind I literally just found it. It's called Samorost.
Edited by knightwriter17openWas this a fever dream Live Action TV
i saw such a strange episode of a show that I’ve never been able to forget it(atleast 5 years ago). The plot of this episode went as follows: two teens(a girl and a boy) awake on a boat(in an alternate timeline) in a beautiful river(it looked like Europe), they’re having a peaceful time drifting down it, she see a bank to up on and once they get off a lady dressed in Victorian era clothing sees them and just freaks out and pulls them in the get put into nicer clothes, while all the other adults also dressed in Victorian era clothes, sitting around cute tables eating, watch them intently. Basically she dresses them up, feeds them and acts all nice and starts to tell them about this alternative reality/future that they’ve ended up in where adults can die or age, but they also can’t have children. After this it’s revealed that they want the two teenagers to fuck so they can have kids because they realized living forever w/o kids sucked or w/e and the teens like run off and escape.
openUnknown emergency show from 90’s Live Action TV
TV and Movie Buffs I need help!!! Fire rescue tv show from the 90’s
There was a show in the 90’s (almost positive) that was an emergency rescue show (fire fighters EM Ts etc...) from my childhood that I am trying to remember. I don’t remember much but I remember 1 scene with pretty good detail. It is as follows:
A couple have just been involved in a pretty bad crash, [i believe] a freeway overpass or support beam has fallen on the vehicle and both individuals are badly injured. After a lengthy assessment they have determined that the unconscious female is going to die if she is not extricated quickly, which means removing the chunk of concrete on top from atop the vehicle. Now for the kicker.. her bf (or husband) is only still alive because the slab of whatever is holding him together. He has been cut nearly in half and after they remove slab of concrete he will die shortly after. With time short for his wife, he sacrificially instructs the Fire dept to remove the slab from the car and you can guess what happens from here.
I thought FOR SURE this was Third Watch but I have watched the series again in the last few years and was sadly disappointed. Then I thought ‘maybe it was rescue 911’ but that more based off of true 911 calls so I feel it is also wrong. Someone out there must know the answer!!! Google has failed me.
openpuppet show Live Action TV
there was a weird puppet show, i think on cbc canada, where a they were telling native tales? the main character was a wolf who had strange powers, the episode i remember the most was he had the power to remove his eye and make it float around. a crow caught it in a cage the 4th time he used it, cause the turtle told him to only use it 3 times in a day...
Edited by dennismennis13openLooking for a cartoon episode with a father/son duck hunting scene, probably from Ned's Newt Western Animation
I remember this one scene in what I'm pretty sure was a Ned's Newt episode, where Ned is going duck hunting or something of the sort with his dad. His dad wants to show him his hunting tricks and tries to hide from the ducks in a pond with what I think was a reed snorkel. He fails of course. It's not the father's day episode of Ned's Newt btw, I checked. Would really appreciate any hints, not knowing the name of the episode is bugging the hell outta me.
openCancelled comedy show Live Action TV
Back in probably around 2012-2015 or so, I would record shows and after one of them it would capture a few seconds of a show that kinda interested me, but I never actually found out the name or watched it. It was a comedy, and it always started out with a woman in what appears to be a therapists office, with a black Male therapist, kinda thin and muscular Aldis Hodge type build. Likely came on after something like necessary roughness or 2 broke girls or my boys, they're the only shows I can remember recording that weren't on syfy channel at that time.

openScience show where teen got random moments of genius Live Action TV
I am trying to remember this show I saw as a kid where there was a group of friends in like high school and something happened to one of them where he would some times get this moment of extreme intelligence and they would like zoom in on his eye when it happened and he would go into genius mode and solve a problem or create something incredible. The episode I remember best is one where I believe he genetically created a live dinosaur and it was loose in the school. Hope somebody can help me remember the name of this show.
Thanks.
openLate Night Relaxation Live Action TV
It was just classical music pieces over nature videos. Once one piece ended, another would come up with a different nature video. I know it broadcasted on a channel called Showcase (or Showcase 2) on Sky (for UK viewers) and it was usually on pretty late, like at 2am for a couple of hours. I think it had a 'HD' at the end of its name like '_____ HD' but I can't remember what it's called. Can anyone help me?
openFamily owns van with super powers Live Action TV
I remember watching this as a kid in the early 2000s. It's a live action TV show about this suburban family that owns a maroon van that has super powers. In one of the episodes I remember distinctly the van shrinks so the family can enter the bloodstream of a person so they can save him, and in another one the van becomes a submarine.
openNo more fairy tales Western Animation
A Western animation that looked either Canadian or Australian about the daughter of the Tooth Fairy, the nephew of Merlin and the son of the Jack and the Beanstalk giant (who’s normal person sized) at a (middle)school named No more fairy tales with the rest of descendants of fairy tale characters (Little Red Riding Hood, Pinnochio and another guys). Magic wands work like phones there (having wi-fi), I think.

Edited by Drakon69
I remember watching this as a kid and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out what it was called. I'm pretty sure it was an animated children's show set in Paris but the show wasn't actually in French, and the main characters were two (also French) anthropomorphic dogs. One of them had white fur and the other one was either dark blue or black, they seemed to be children as far as I know. I recall this one episode specifically with them building a blanket fort and saying something about "fish fingers and apple slices". Any help would be highly appreciated.
