openUnknown show about teenagers with some sort of powers Live Action TV
Ok im honestly unsure if this is a dream or a real show
The main thing i remember is that a villain in it can shapeshift into a large black snake and there's a scene where one of the protagonists wanders into his office and hes shed his skin in there.
I feel that this scene happened in an office
I think there was a blonde girl on the villains side who the protagonist has a thing for too
I know its not much to go on but if this sounds familiar id appreciate any help
Edited by JiendoopenShow about teenage kids living in some sort of mansion or school Western Animation
There was this show, i think it was aired on nickelodeon, maybe 10 years ago, it was about this group of kids who i think were kinda half monsterish, i remember it was a cartoon but kinda dark (still kids cartoon), and there was this girl (i think half werewolf) that was with one of the boys. And there was this episode where one of the boys goes to the lake and finds a girl (it could be the other way around) and falls in love.
openLate 70s/Early 80s UK Christmas Special About Rejected Toys Live Action TV
I remember a Christmas special about a bunch of rejected toys, called "rejects" scheduled to be incinerated. After the staff left, they came to life as live action adult actors who then interacted with other non rejected toys - a bunch of toy soldiers who believed it was there duty to get "smithereened" by cannon fire and a bunch of dolls who arrogantly sang about being perfect and looked down on the reject toys. When the staff returned and they returned to being toys all hope seemed lost until a bunch of yelling children invaded the factory (toy store?) and grabbed the rejected toys and saved them from the incinerator. I recall some lines from it - "What's wrong with a reject?" from the lead reject toy and the line "We are perfect. Perfect. Absolutely perfect." sung by the arrogant male leader of the dolls. Any ideas? Would have been a BBC or ITV broadcast.
Edited by Exxolonopen1990s live action hero show Live Action TV
There was a tv show that I barely remember from possibly the 90s. The only episode I remember is a guy in red armor has to battle a clone of himself. When he ends up winning, he gets an upgrade with better armor and/or weapon. I believe he was part of some hero team but could be mistaken.
openHorror(ish) Themed kid show Western Animation
I remember the intro started in a suburban area with all of the kids going on a school bus (think some of them were horror creature but i am not sure), and then suddenly they where deep in the woods (greyish sky and kind of a dark but kid friendly atmosphere) where there was an academy. I remember one episode with a kid (brown skin color if i remember correctly) finding a jacket that makes him into a bully, he tries to take it, struggles and somehow gets it off in the end of the episode.
openFilm about Children raised to become organ donors Film
I honestly didn't understand a good chunk of what was going on since I missed some of the dialogue (we were watching it at school, not only was it not Mean Girls so no one cared but, when people actually did start paying attention to it, there was a neverending flood of stupid comments and commentary) but the basic gist I could guess was children are cloned from real people, these clones are raised from birth to be in perfect condition throughout their lives and then, in adulthood, they become organ donors only they give away their organs while still alive and through several sessions of harvests. The main lead has a love interest who gets taken from her by her jealous, possibly bisexual friend who kisses her in one scene (my class flipped out at that part) before said friend admits that she knew that main protagonist and love interest were meant to be. The friend in a later scene goes through her final harvest where she dies. The main protagonist and the love interest then attempt to get some sort of 'get out of harvest free' deal because they heard from some characters at an earlier point in the movie that, if two of the donors fall in love completely then they can opt to get out of the harvest for a year so that they can live their lives together. It turns out that was false and love interest then dies in a harvest in a later scene. The movie ends with the main protagonist in front of a tree, talking about how she's going to start her harvests soon. This movie was also apparently an adaptation of a book of the same name but I can't remember the name
Edited by Shine101openDaily/Weekly TV Show Series
There was a show about a girl who first lost her mother and then her father and was sent to live with her mother's sisters, whom she had never met. It was a working farm, close to the ocean, pacific I think (COLD WATER). One sister was headstrong and ran the place, the other sister was very quiet and reserved. The show I believe was named after the girl. The girl has a gift of seeing certain things. Her best friend was a girl who had long, blonde hair and her Dad was the only Doctor. I believe Lance Henrickson was on it and he played her cousin Jimmy, who was slow and he slept in the barn. GOD can someone help me find the name! I really enjoyed that show. I believe it was on in 2010, early mornings and then only on saturdays. I want to say PBS but I could incorrect. THANK YOU
openDaily/Weekly TV Show Series
I forgot to add the time period was late 1800's I think. They used candles and women slept with head bonnets.
openPokemon copy? Anime
Hey, I am trying to find this show I used to watch when I was a kid, from what I remember it was kinda like a yu-gi-oh/pokemon clone. It started out with monsters from another dimension coming to the real world, these monsters were able to be fused together but this was a permanent process. The main character had a sidekick monster (kinda like pikachu) that was short, blue and may have had a marking on his head. This monster could talk and had a secret backstory, which if I remember correctly was that his big brother or father had attempted to fight the main villain of the series but had died in the process.
openkid show probably in 90's?
It's a kid show that probably came on in the 90's but during around 2005-07 it came on super early in the morning? The title was something about a rain forest tree frog? These kids went around and had fun, but then every once in a while, usually at the end of an episode, this guy wearing a tree frog costume would come out and they'd go over the lesson they learned that day? And I remember once they did a lit version of "Itsy Bitsy Spider"
Edited by Derpypig13openI can only remember one thing....
There was this show i used to watch when I was a kid. It was animated and in one episode a girl with blonde(?) hair in a peacock costume got stuck to a toilet after her friends put glue on it to trap their mean teacher(?) After they found her she asked for help but when the guys tried to come in she said "Not you the girls!" Weird thing to remember I know but I've been looking for this show everywhere and I can't find it.
openMr something Anime
I think it was a series but I only remember one episode specifically. There was a little homeless looking man and he had this large cat friend. Somehow the guy gets trapped inside of a mirror. He falls in love with a girl across the alley and tries to use a tightrope to get to her but the mirror falls off the rope and smashes into pieces. His name is mr. something but I can’t remember what it is!? Please help it’s driving me insane.
resolved Webcomic about Zombie Discrimination (SOLVED!!) Webcomic
I'm having trouble remembering the name of a webcomic I fell off on reading due to impatience in waiting for each page.
It's about some guy that gets shot or dies some other way and becomes a zombie. The comic is mainly about his relationship with his fiancée and him facing discrimination by society due the unexpected feral-ness of zombies. Also, the zombie's have blue skin.
I think the comic was on the group Hiveworks, but I checked and I had trouble finding it.
Edited by TropeFanaticFanopenUnknown Film
It was about this detective lady investigating this writer because all the murders from his novel were coming true. Turns out the writer had a female lover/fan who was actually doing the murders as they were written after publication. I think she got off on it, while he liked the publicity. I don't remember much else, besides one of the victims being a young couple of camping. They were swimming in a creek when the boy goes to pee, but gets pinned to a tree with a crossbow bolt. Then the killer chases the girl for a while before shooting her too. There's a bit at the end when the writer is trying to kill the detective, saying how there's no case if there's no body, which I think are Arc words in the writers novel, but the detective manages to overpower him and kill him.
openKids Cartoon
Okay so I'm trying to remember this cartoon I watched a few years back, but I don't remember the name of it and all I really remember was that this kid got a key from his grandfather that sent him to another world that has 2 factions battling for supremacy. I remember that in the first few episodes he goes with this monster to a mountain top where a meteor crashed a long time ago in order to find some sort of artifact I think. Can someone please help me out

openCant remember help Film
https://hizliresim.com/g9ObZO i couldnt remember the name includes these people. but im pretty sure i saw that serie or movie. So what is the name?
Edited by AbnormalChr
First off, I am not looking for Scooby Doo. Ok so the show is about a group (or maybe just two — can't remember) of teenagers who fight monsters after analyzing some sort of crime scene relating to the monster. There is always some kind of slime or sludge or some substance like that, and the main character tests it and it resulted in telling them what the monster was and other info on it. I believe the male character was blonde, and always energetic. The only other thing I remember was an episode where there was some sort of tree-like creature who would try to kidnap children who misbehaved.
The show aired some time in the mid to late 2000s
Sorry if this is not much to go on but if any of this sounds familiar any help would be greatly appreciated.
