openAnyone know what US TV drama this is?
A while ago, I saw on You Tube an episode of a US TV drama but I've forgotten the name of it and can't find it on You Tube.
In the episode, a woman with regenerative abilities wakes up in a hospital not remembering how she got there. A doctor goes into her room and tells her she's killed one of her best friends, but she has no memory of the incident and is in total disbelief that she's done that. She calls her boss or something to see her (the only person she can call), but even he believes she killed her best friend. Later, the doctor performs a bone marrow extraction on her and when a nurse goes to clean her wounds, is surprised to find all the wounds healed completely. Some time afterwards, the nurse starts to suspect the doctor after she hears a conversation between him and another man and then sees the doctor transform into another person. She goes to warn the woman but is killed by her, who turns out to be the doctor transformed into the woman. Then some time later, the woman's other best friends go to the hospital but find everything and everyone gone, and it turns out the hospital was fake and was setup by the doctor to trap the woman.
Edited by clarie91sopenChinese Language Movie that was Free on Youtube Film
I watched this movie around 2010, when there was a section of Youtube where you could watch free movies (Maybe they still do that?) It was an indie film, I believe, that was either partially or entirely in Chinese with English subtitles. It was about a girl living in Chinatown. She was really into Chinese luck traditions, which annoyed the people around her a lot. She had glasses and rode her bike around a lot. I think she had a single mom that was pretty young (But that could be wrong) There was a scene in the end where she gets injured really badly, but, if I remember correctly, she ends up okay. Thanks for helping me out!
openCat show on PBS? Western Animation
A few days ago my mom asked me if I knew the name of a show that was on PBS years ago. She said that all she can remember is cats and something to do with Asia. If you know the name can you please tell me?
openI've been searching but can't find this show
This animated tv show takes place in a sandy kind of desert place. There's about five or six people who have these cars with amazing gadgets and weapons. In the 2nd or 3rd season they learn that their cars can combine. They fight these animals that drive cars as well and the leader of the villains is a lion. It was on nickelodeon or disney channel. Most importantly, the show is named after a sports drink that the characters drink inside the show. Thanks for your help!
Edited by Cleverguy24openGame where you fought with armies and all your characters had horses
I think it was set in either a european or japanese setting, there was a princess, she and the antagonist both witnissed something at an alter(possible of divine origin I cant remember), the combat was beat 'em up style with captains of an army as your playable characters each one had a horse they could ride, I remember in particular one scene in which two armies are fighting on a boat and one of your captains saves a castaway telling her "Join Us" I think she was a boss before that but not sure.
openPopular song from the 90s/early 2000s? Music
Okay, so it's this song, presumably popular since I've heard it every once in a while on the radio (and on TV shows/movies, maybe?), probably from the 90s or very early 2000s, sung by a female voice and a male one with some kind of accent. It had a chilled out but sexy-ish vibe I guess, perhaps a bit caribbean. I can only remember the chorus, but not the lyrics. Let me go full mondegreen here to try to describe it: female voice: "They say you're the best..." male voice: "Jabba!" Repeat. This has been bugging me a lot, if only I could just look up the damn thing.
openNo Title Western Animation
In 2001/2002/2003 and certainly not 2004, there was a Nickelodeon bumper or short animation that used to give me creeps. The short was probably made in CGI, and looked a lot like Jim Henson's Nobody. There was a face in the dark, with some blue lines, as if there was a light below his face. I don't remember anything he says, but I remember that, in the end, there was a Nickelodeon logo, CGI, in the shape of two clapping hands and it had sound of applauses in the background.
I was wondering if any of you remember this. It was pretty scary, most of the people I talked to remember this, but I couldn't find it on the Internet. I've watched it at Nickelodeon Latin America.
openUnknown 1950'S-era horror piece Film
Not much to go on here, but this is what I've got. On the anniversary of a despicable character's demise, those that got rid of him gather and behold, his servant releases said baddie from the tomb, alive somehow but his face bandaged up as he recalls how he was wronged (in his eyes) and how he will seek revenge. Old, very talky, B&W, and the servant was an obedient type, not apt to ask him to relent for his own sake. The only other thing I have is that it was on Channel 11 WPIX-NYC's Saturday movie show 'Chiller', the one with the six-fingered hand rising from the swamp. I have searched this site : http://www.dvddrive-in.com/Chiller/chiller.htm but with so many movies going by alt-titles upon release and syndie, I've hit a brick wall. I thought it might be 'The Return Of Doctor X', a rare piece of schlock from Old Bogie, but he never seems to hide his face.
openA show where kids blewon presents to get them to the main characters...
Yeah I'm not sure of the channel but there wer a ton of big fluffy pink blue purple yellow green, they could turtle their heads up and they never actually spoke just rndm sounds, and it would constantly have this children laughter track whenevr they did something and like Once an Episode they would have a couple of little kids blow on a large present which the characters than recieved... I think it starts with a P?
openA show where a little boy is tiny and lives in his baby sister's dollhouse?
I think his name was george and he had a plane? But I've tried searching for Little George, Tiny george but it doesn't come up.
openLooking for a title Music
I am wondering if anyone might know the name of a series of VHS that possibly came out in the late 80s to mid 90s. I am not 100 percent sure as to when it would've been released. I was between the ages of 5 and 9 when my parents purchased the tapes. We purchased it from a bargin bin at a local movie rental place. I can't remember anything about the box art unfortunately, but I do remember there was an M somewhere in the name, and I don't think it was a particularly long name. It may have even been an abbreviated name. The tapes were completely 3D animated and each contained animated shorts of children's sing-a-long songs, as well as a few instrumental tracks accompanied by random 3D objects. Some of the songs that were on the tapes were knick knack paddy whack, itsy bitsy spider, playmate, come out and play with me, old Mac Donald, AB Cs, I'm a little teapot, there was an old lady that swallowed a fly, dem bones, the wheels on the bus, and a few others. There was also a song I can't seem to find at all, and it has lyrics similar to "A family of bluebirds sing to reach the highest note, come down come down the mother said. . ." and I can't really remember anything else about that particular song other than the video had the birds on a fence post kind of swaying back and forth at an awkward camera angle. Any help would be appreciated!
openLocal band song Music
This is gonna be a REALLY hard one but someone might know: in 1998 on New Years Eve there was this mostly local music festival type thing in Santa Rosa, California. I forgot all the songs except this one. It had a female vocalist and the chorus was something like "she's just a baby, little girl". The melody of it sounded kinda similar to Green Hill Zone from the original Sonic The Hedgehog.I searched for those lyrics online but got nothing.
Edited by BootlebatopenChild Holds Greedy Person as Adventure Hostage? Film
Is there a movie where a child has something a greedy person wants, so they "hold the person hostage" by not giving them the thing in exchange for them taking the child on an adventure or doing another favor? I feel like this might happen in more than one work.
openIdle defense game I played on Kongregate Videogame
I played this game on Kongregate once, but I can't find it under the Idle category. The game takes place in some kond of dungeon or temple, and there's a big floating crystal that you have to protect from waves of monsters trying to destroy it. You kill the monsters by clicking them to shoot magic bolts at them and by hiring heroes to fight for you. There are dozens or heroes to hire, but you and they are sorted into categories and get bonuses when they're in the same party.
openAnimated series with mystery and detective animals Western Animation
Hi everyone!
I can't remember too much but this series was on Fox Kids or maybe on Jetix. It had a pretty evil and mysterious villain hiding in an underground cave and I remember something about ravens. The good guys were detectives, I think animals maybe. The main conflict was between the detectives and the villain. It was slightly creepy at least for me when I was young, the plots of the episodes had always something mysterious or supernatural in them. The intro had a very catchy but a little wierd music.
If any of you remembers this I would be extremely grateful! I've been looking for this series for a year now.
openhelp
I found this short animation on Scratch that has a song that I don't know the name of: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/112656377/ Does anyone know what the music is from?
next: I found a book in the library a few months back about a bunch of anthro animals who drive race cars, there was a rabbit, a chicken, a bear, and the one I remember the most is a brown wolf with big square eyes. The only part of the story that I remember is about them in a 711 like store where they make fun of the wolf about something.
Edited by cake64opensome kind of anti drug thing?
Not sure what to classify it as but there was some kind of anti drug video i watched in about 1998 at scool. I think the name was called "Sweet (something I can't remember, think it started with a D)" It involved among other things some kind of interview with someone who killed someone while drunk driving and got a really long sentence. Also for some reason I found the video really scary at the time not sure why though.
There was a boy and a girl going to a library that is secretly a place to where animals live and I think that the last episode was when the animals go free and the enemy was a weasel and thats all I know
