openDisney or Nick Jr short Live Action TV
This would have aired late 90s or early 2000s, around the time out of the box and bear and the big blue house were on, in the U.S. It was a short of some sort where a teenage girl shows how to paint a dresser and a chair with a sky and I believe planets as well. It is not amby and dexter.
openCan't remember the name of this sci-fi TV show Live Action TV
I'm struggling to remember a TV show i used to watch as a kid, i remember it was about a teenager who i think always wore a blue t-shirt, he had the ability to change his arms and i think other body parts to copy those of other aliens/robots, his team consisted of him another human girl, this chubby green reptilian looking alien who had a gold staff and i think a robot too, oh and a short bug eyed alien who had ice powers i think; they would travel around in this blue space ship/ pod looking thing.
If anyone know what this TV show is i would greatly appreciate it haha sorry if my explanation was terrible.
openTwo guys who "lock" their hats Live Action TV
Probably 90s show.. Maybe it was something kids oriented, live action, comedy... all I can remember is that there was two men, maybe brothers? The main thing is that part of their episodes shtick was that they had this silly, high energy way of putting on their hats (like an eighties, multi coloured "ball" cap) where they would say the three steps out loud as they 1. snap their caps open, 2.slap them on their head in sync, 3. turn them sideways and shout "LOCKED".. thats when they were "ready" to do whatever they were doing next.
Edited by MjrabitopenVery old show about a secret world with puppets living in it (NOT Fraggle Rock) Live Action TV
Alright, here in Slovakia, the show aired around the year 2004 to 2008 at max. But keep in mind that things take a while to get dubbed and aired here so the original is probably older. Keep in mind I was a 7 years old kid at that time so my memories are pretty blurry. One thing I remember about it is that it mostly took place in a kind of "different world" (might have been our world but a place hidden from the rest of it?) where some weird creatures lived, played by puppets (or people in costumes?). A gateway to the realm has opened trough a crack in the ground in the pilot episode, in some guys house (played by a human). Some weird creature (the main character) emerged from it and became friends with the human. He (the creature) did maybe carry a big walking cane with him, but I'm not sure. If it helps, when the crack opened, it did with a loud thunder sound. I kinda remember every episode starting at the guy's house, with a sort of an exposition to the main story of the episode itself. There is not much else I can remeber from that show, but I can remeber the story of one episode. The main character had to, for some reason, make a "friend pouch", where he put something from all of his friends. One (also a furry creature) gave him a piece of their own fur. The reason for this might have been to remove soem curse, but don't take my word for it. I can remember 8yo me running around in the elemetary school with a paper bag collecting things from my friends. So that's about as much as I can recall. I've been thinking about the show a lot recently, and it drives me mad that I cannot find anything about it, so I'm asking you guys here. Oh yes, I recall something now. The walking cane the main character was carrying was itself alive!
openNo idea Live Action TV
An episode where the character decorate a poor families house or something and one of them leaves toys behind for the kids including an easy bake oven. To say thank you the family make them a cake and there's a joke about them cooking it in the easy bake oven. It's from some sort of sitcom I watched when I was younger but can't remember which one.

There's a video of a slim woman who's wearing a full bodysuit made of latex or leather, I don't remember exactly which, but anyway, she slowly removes piece by piece of the suit, revealing that she actually has an obese body that was concealed in the bodysuit; it was even used in this Tool's "Vicarious" fan music video, seems like an ad - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hii17sjSwfA
- Does anyone know what it might be?
openAmerican "Country Dancing Music for Kids" Infomercial Live Action TV
With the rise of old American infomercials (Shirley Temple DVD Collection, Muzzy, Snuggie, Blendy Pens, etc.) becoming memes, I just remembered an ad I used to see a couple times on Nickelodeon/Toon Disney/CN around 2007 or 2008-ish. It's one of those Kidz Bop/Worship Jamz-esque compilation albums for kids, but this one was comprised of country line-dance music and featured popular country hits like IIRC "I Like It, I Love It" by Tim McGraw. However I have NEVER been able to find the ad for this even though it was likely made by Razor & Tie (the guys behind Kidz Bop). I really hope to find it again.
openShow about a group of people on a train Live Action TV
It didn't last very long; I think it was cancelled after one season, but it was about a group of people who would discuss their lives between train destinations. It was British or Canadian; can't remember which.
openMid 90s mini series: High School Boy, Time Travel, Betrayal, Dinosaurs Live Action TV
This mini-series was about a high school boy who ends up traveling back in time with a professor/doctor and a girl from the past to stop some evil guy from destroying the universe. There is an episode about dinosaurs. Near the end, it turns out the professor/doctor is the bad guy the entire time. The girl ends up getting sucked into some black hole that gets her lost in time and space. In the end, the boy wins the battle and is back in school. He finds out a girl that looked like the girl he was adventuring with is using the locker next to his. This is all I can remember. If someone can figure out the name of this show, I will be forever grateful.
openCan you help me with these shows? Live Action TV
I know I've been asking here before, but I have still not found any answers as to what these two shows I am referring to. For those who are unaware, here are my descriptions of an episode for these two shows:
1) A 2001 short-lived kid's TV show somewhat similar to Sesame Street (I think it was on either PBS, Nickelodeon) with hand puppets and mascot costumes and 2D animation. One episode includes kids (in pajamas, I think) dance-sitting holding a toy (possibly teddy bears) in a classroom, while two life-size puppets in front of a blue tarp or sheet. NOTE: the whole song is played the first time; the second time is the same thing, but the video quickly fades to black and the credits roll while the song is still playing. Does anyone know what the show is? And if so, what episode was I referring to?
2) I remember an older aged woman who was dressed in blue who was pushed in a water fountain one night. The next day, the same woman appeared again with a man (don't know who he is) and was asked for questioning. After checking through the footage, it was NOT from Dynasty. It had to have been from an older TV show.
If anyone has a clear idea as to what any of these shows are, please let me know. Thank you.
openUnknown UK TV Programme comparing professionals' skills Artist, Quantum Physicist, writer Live Action TV
Can you name/date/ID channel etc for a UK broadcast TV programme or short series (BBC 2? Channel 4? Other?) which ran a few years ago (2010-2015?), in which various professionals were tested for each other's skills? The quantum physicist came out overall top as compared with all others categories, beating a writer, an artist and others. Any clues gratefully received. THANK YOU
Edited by i-SeekeropenKids Show about vehicle with eyes Live Action TV
I recall when I was 6 or 7 (about 2003 or 2004 probably, but I may be wrong) there was a live action show I watched with my father one night and one night only about a yellow car (might have been a dune buggy if I remember correctly) which was sentient and had eyes. This is literally all I remember and I hope someone knows, I've been trying to find it since that day.
openI apologise for the vagueness Live Action TV
It was a TV show about two best friends (maybe even brothers?) who would dare each other to do stuff. Early 2000's, probably on MTV. They were either American or Canada. Live action.
openGritty Arab, Turkish or Israeli spy thriller / crime drama tv show? Live Action TV
I took a Greyhound-like bus ride last week, and in the seat ahead of me, a Middle Eastern-looking younger guy binge-watched a TV show that had Arab subtitles. it seemed llike a gritty spy thriller or crime drama.
it seemed to be set in a government agency or the secret service or some special police task force: an ensemble drama with a male lead, very modern and cold looks (lots of blue, steel, light grey, bad weather). there was a coworker or data analyst etc. who wore a hijab. everything looked sleek and "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."-like. I didn't see supernatural elements, but there were quite a lot of bombs, snipers etc.
it could have been the Turkish show "Icerde", but the colors of "Icerde" look too saturated. I don't think it was Israeli spy drama "Fauda" because the setting was much less bright/sunny. it reminded me of "Spooks", the British spy drama. the episodes were on Youtube, and the show looked very new (2012 or later). Good videography, high production values and just all-around interesting: I was sure that I could find it on Google right away. it looked like a popular, big-budget show.
openThat one Book of Pooh episode Live Action TV
What was that Book of Pooh episode where Pooh, Rabbit, Tigger and I think Piglet went on a camp out and Eeyore joins them later in the night called?
openSome kind of little kids show? Live Action TV
I honestly don't remember that much from it...I feel like I watched it when I was really little. I'm from the US and was born in the late 90s so I mostly grew up in the early 2000s but it could have been fron the 90s. It was some lady's house(i remember a red hat? and brown/dark hair? she might have been some kind of painter or possibly a teacher?) and she sang songs about different things but what stands out the most is this one episode where they go to some kind of farm? or just go outside into a field and there's some weirdly 2d green screen effect like fruit dancing and there was some kind of song....the fruit werent puppets it was some kind of weird animation. also, i don't know why but I vaguely remember the house being white on the outside? and really neat/creative on the inside. it wasn't the big comfy couch but it had that kind of kids show vibe to it........I'm not sure if it even exists. Thanks in advance! It's been bugging me off an on for years and yet I never seem to find anything about it. I might have watched it on VHS if that helps.
openPost Apocolyptic Live Action TV
Saw a trailer for a show on youtube. Don't know if it's a new show or another season.
Show seems to center around a group of girls after something knocks the power out to the US/World (I think it was a solar flare). In the trailer a dad tells a teenage daughter that things are going to get ugly/bad. There's also a scene where a girl and guy a pointing guns at on another and the girl tells him he seems normal. I also recall people sitting with their laptops but they stop working.
Been searching for a few hours and everything turns up Revolution, but that is NOT the show.
Thanks!
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 :)

I'm looking for a programme I used to watch at school. It was an educational mini-series about a magical box belonging to an old man. It was made by either BBC, Channel 4 or Channel 5. The old man had two children trying to help him open it, and the girl working for him was a spy for the villains. The video was two cassettes in a pack, and each episode would feature a short educational song about what just happened.
