Was 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.
Unknown 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.
puppet 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...

Looking 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.
Cancelled 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.
No Title
There was a show and in an episode a guy is getting getting abducted by a woman.and she ties him to a bed I think and she dresses up as a nurse in one seance while pointing a gun at him and she has him bath with handcuffs on his feet and his woman believes he is lost or dead something like that

Science 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.
Late 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?
Family 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.
No 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.

Little platformer game Videogame
I remember playing a short, side-scrolling, web-based platformer where you're a small black robot-like character and you navigate levels using (iirc) your extendable arms. It could be completed in under 30 minutes. The plot, as I remember it, was that either you or your girlfriend fell in love with the moon and wanted to reach it/obtain it. The ending had you either find your girlfriend (a similar robot with a pink bow) or the moon, I don't remember which. I want to say it was called "I/she fell in love with the moon". I remember playing it on either Cool Math Games or its sister site (it was often advertised at the time I played, but I also don't remember its name)
It was a really short and sweet little game and I'd love to play it again someday, tyia!
Website analyzing X-Files fanon? Web Original
It was this website that I thought was called Infrequently Asked Questions but I've googled that name heaps of times and not found anything relevant. It was taking a bunch of things that come up in Fan Works related to The X-Files and seeing if they gelled with canon. Examples of text:
Q: Mulder home-nurses Scully when she's unwell?': A: Unlikely. Scully usually nurses herself unless it's serious enough to warrant a hospital visit.'' Q: Mulder phones Scully in the middle of the night? A: This is not likely to be a regular occurrence. When Muldre phoned Scully at nighttime in one episode, she seemed surprised that he was calling. Q: Mulder is a terrible shot?: ''A: Actually, Mulder is a great shot. He sleeps with his gun under his pillow, but then again, he wouldn't be Muldre if he didn't do that.\
Looking for name of movie with this scene
I saw years ago a movie where a arrogant female policeofficer that was taking to young girls she didn't treat nice was suddenly taken as hostage by a friend of them. In the next scene one of the girls got revenge on her as she was left in her village handcuffed naked to a statue of a naked man,her face against the cock of the statue. Then the people leave the church and you see as they laugh when they see her butt naked tied there. You could see her from naked from behind, her butt and everything. I think it was an 80s movie. Does someone know the name of the movie?

Webcomic about the antics of Cyborg Guy and daughter/little girl? Webcomic
I remember around /co/ on 4chan, I made a thread for this exact thing and I posted a panel from a webcomic and I got my answer (but because I was a idiot at that time I didn't save the thread and now I can't find it.
It was this comic about some guy and I believe his daughter??? The guy had a robotic arm. the daughter had a catchphrase which was always something like "Well THAT was ____" (Ex: The panel I posted was the guy going to the dentist and the last panel had "Well THAT was embarassing.." I believe here name was Beans but I can't remember. BTW, this webcomic has a page right here on TV Tropes.

Live-Action show with a boy, a girl and dinosaurs
I think it was placedsomewhere near a school and dinosaurs looked very realistic. At first (i think) only the boy and his friend, a girl, could see them,but the dinosaurs also interacted with the real world. The girl didn't bdlieve it at first until she saw one. The first episodes had a long-necked dinosaur and a spinosaurus.
Show where they have to buy back dogs from a bully? Western Animation
It was an animated film or (more likely) tv special where a group of kids went to a mall, only for one girl to discover two of her puppies have hidden in her bag. They escape and are caught by a bully-type who demands a ransom for them back (threatening to sell them) so the kids have to raise the money. They succeed but I think he doesn't want to accept the cash so they have to stand up to him.
An Edutainment Game about Frogs Videogame
Back at my Elementary School, there was this Activity Center game that starred an Older Female Brown Frog and her Younger Male Green Frog friend. If I remember correctly it was a series with two installments.
Camp teenager movie? Film
I remember a movie about teens in a camp. I think there were two camps (one for boys and one for girls) and for some reason they have to endure a storm? What I do remember is that one of the girl counselors is a virgin and has sex with one of the guys, but shortly before she gets an allergic reaction (I think it had something to do with bees?) so she points out that she never thought she would do it with her face all weird or something. Does it ring any bells?
A Sandman Story? Print Comic
This was a Graphic Novel I read a single chapter of back in high school. I had a collected graphic novel book, sort of a "sampler." I believe the title was something along the lines of "20XX graphic novel previews," and it had a single chapter of quite a few graphic novels. One of the few I remember specifically was a Blacksad chapter, if that helps.
Anyways, within this sampler, was a single chapter of a comic I've been wanting to read ever since, but never tracked down. I've since narrowed it down to SOMETHING related to Neil Gaiman's Sandman, due to recognizing a character. It featured a man visiting an island(I think it may have been somewhere in Greece or Italy) that was supposed to have some ancient ruins. He got dropped off by a sailor, or rented a rowboat or something, and went against warnings by the locals. Instead, he ended up at a lively party, and speaking with Death of the Endless(this is how I finally learned what series it's from).
The party was nobles dancing, or something of the like, and I'm pretty sure they all suddenly died of disease over the course of the story. It was very interesting at the time, and I remembered loving the design and characterization of Death, it was the first time I'd seen a non-negative portrayal of a Death character. does anybody know which of the many, many spinoffs or sequels I might have been reading?
Online 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.
