openRecent-ish werewolf b-movie Film
I caught about half of this movie on TV, possibly on Chiller (American cable channel dedicated to horror-related movies and shows). The basic plot was that a teenage boy discovers he's part werewolf, and while trying to find out more about his past, finds himself traveling to this isolated town that turns out to be totally populated by werewolves. There he meets several other main characters including a love interest who's the mayor's daughter, and an antagonist who is the leader of some sort of werewolf gang and wants him dead for reasons I forget. Even though the film was set in the present day, the werewolf town had a distinct "old west" aesthetic to it, and the deal might have been that it was an old abandoned ghost town that the werewolves decided to take for their own. There was a comic relief character who was the sister of the love interest - due to nepotism, she's both the town drunk and the bartender at the local saloon. She's introduced laying underneath the bar and pouring herself drinks, and later gets one of the more memorable lines, upon learning the wolf gang leader wants to fight the main character on October 31st: "What's spookier than being eaten by a werewolf on Halloween?" note I might not have the exact wording of that right - the first thing I thought of doing was googling the phrase in quotes and it turned up nothing relevant. I saw this around a year ago, and it might have been at most 2-3 years older.
Edited by MikeKopenLooking for an old kids tv show
It was a childrens show with one of the characters having red hair and a red nose and a shirt that had paint splatters on it. It was an animation show. That is all that I can remember about it unfortunately. There may have been a show related to this one also. If you know please help! lol it is driving me crazy that i cannot think of it
openTV Miniseries
I'm trying to remember a tv miniseries or movie about a gated community on a beach, and a woman meets this great guy. Turns out he lives on the beach and is the handyman or something. He ends up getting a job but hates it. Thinks a blackberry is a pie. It's been several years, I thought Stephen Moyer was the male lead but it wasn't him.
openMusical Episode of a TV Show? Comedy? Live Action TV
I have part of this song stuck in my head. Here is what I think I remember: It is from a TV show that is family-centered, comedy sitcom It's part of a musical episode or spoof and everyone is singing or taking turns singing a chorus that goes something like "never never never" sang really fast then abruptly stops. It could be a kids' show, for some reason I think there could have been puppets too... I think it's live-action and not cartoon.
openVideo where toys came to life
- NOT TOY STORY* What is a kids show that was on VHS possible 80s/90s. It was set in a toy workshop and when the people were gone, the toys came to life. I remember there was a mouse hole and a jack in the box. May also have had a train. It wasn’t animated. This has been bugging me for years so any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
opencartoon show name
I used to watch this cartoon probably in the early 2000's. All i remember was they were kids and i believe they were either spies or they would save people the logo was a lower case i and i think the name started with an i. the cartoons were smaller people not realistic looking.
openScene where car had no engine Film
Was either a movie or live action tv.
Two guys brought a car to some outdoor party with the engine removed (I can't remember why). The cops come and they need to run, and a guy opens up the hood to jumpstart it and realizes the car had no engine.
This is a very faint memory, but I know I saw it in something...
openSome cartoon about kids and weird rocks Western Animation
I remember this show about kids in a fantasy-ish world from around the 2000's where kids could summon creatures from rocks, and each of them had elemental powers, and there dark versions of other creatures... All in all, the more I think about it, the more it makes me think of a Slugterra prototype, except it was in traditional animation.
openSci-fi cartoon that aired on CITV in the mid to late 2000s Western Animation
I'm trying to look for a cartoon that I used to watch in the mornings before school on CITV (It's likely it aired on other channels as well since CITV gets most of it's shows from others) All I can remember is that it was a sci-fi cartoon about a group fighting in space, the only character I remember was a kind of rhino guy that used knuckle dusters and that I think the name of the show had the name of a bird in it?
openHelp Anime
Okay so the characters kind of looked Halloween based if I remember correctly. But there was like a mummy, vampire, werewolf and so on but they were all kids and one of the families moved into this house and it was like the only dark house in the neighborhood. I can barely remember it but if I see it I would know. It wasn't popular I don't think but I use to watch it like everyday when I was younger. They would go on adventures it was animated
openEarly/Mid-2000's Sunday Night Cartoon Network Block Western Animation
I remember when I first got Direct TV after 9/11, I loved watching Cartoon Network for a lot of the vintage stuff: Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, etc. There was one block in particular that came on around 9PM on Sunday nights that showed some other classics with color commentary in between. The interstitial stuff between cartoons looked like an old warehouse with a film projector and lots of crates. They must have discontinued it in between introducing more live-action stuff and the whole Toonami fiasco. I always got excited over three-day weekends when I was 8 or 9 because I'd get to see this very block, I loved it so much. Many thanks to whoever finds this and replies!
openroad movie Film
This movie is from the 70s, early 80s tops. Is a road movie about two guys in a car and a very beatufil girl that tag along, they found her seated in the back seat one day. There were some Hells Angels-like bikers involved. The girl wore a top very similar to this but with pants.
opena film about a woman training to revenge her parents Film
The actress look a lot like Geena Davis, but is not Geena Davis, she was in trainning to become like some sort of assasin maybe, she has a old mentor with long white hair and starts killing several gangsters in revenge. It turns out that when she was a child four gangsters (one of them a blonde woman) killed his father and raped his mother (including the woman).
openAeroplane disappear and appear where miracle happen Live Action TV
Hi, which TV show is about a aeroplane full of passengers disappear and appear again where strange miracles happen. i think the handicap are cure and the people can speak in differnet language and a team like x-files detective is send to investigate
openLate Show With David Letterman Skit Live Action TV
I'm hoping someone with a better memory or better Google-Fu can track this down for me.
In one of David Letterman's "CBS Mailbag" skits, he reads a letter from a viewer asking how a computer or the Internet works. The camera cuts to his announcer, Alan Kalter, who is wearing a superhero-like suit. Alan says he can answer the question. He shouts, "Follow me!" and there's a bad special effect of him shrinking and entering the computer. The camera goes back to Letterman who asks, "How were we supposed to follow him?" Letterman then reads a few more letters, and the announcer "unshrinks" at the end, saying "And that's how it works." (All of this dialogue is approximate.)
I thought of it while on the "Inside a Computer System" page, thinking it should be on the list. I also checked "Incredible Shrinking Man" with no luck. I'd love to find a video of it, or at least know when it aired. It was definitely The Late Show with David Letter, and definitely Alan Kalter announcing, which narrows it down to 1995-2015.
openwhat cartoon is this from?
Can anyone please tell me what cartoon these figurines are from? They have the date 1985 stamped on their foot. I suspect the cartoon aired in the 70s or 80s. I recognize them but cannot remember, and I've searched the Web all day with zero luck. It is driving me crazy. I uploaded the picture of the figures as my profile pic. Help?
open70s 80s BBC tv possibly? kid has to find mirror or glinting object to escape a cave? Live Action TV
its been bugging me for decades, all i can remember is this kid in a cave has to find a glinting object to help him escape, or time travel or something fantasy/sci-fi and there was a man explaining it to him, possibly a wizard. it was probably BBC as it had that weird studio video thing that all the BBC stuff had at that time. maybe the glint was from a pile of treasure? like the scene in indiana jones holy grail.

Hi everyone! Does anyone here know a song about a baby bird who grows up and its mother makes it leave the nest? I think it was on a casette tape of children's songs I had in the mid 90s, that also had the song "Bling Blang, Hammer with my Hammer." I think the tape also had the song "I Went to the Animal Fair," but it might have been "Boom Boom, Ain't It Great to Be Crazy." Any help would be appreciated!
