openIt was a 2015-16 show, I think. Hero brought back from death. Must get in tank regularly. Live Action TV
OK, here's what I can remember. Show's hero committed suicide because he was a dirty cop (I think). He was rescued by a very smart (and rich) computer programmer. This resulted in him being I think somewhat stronger than normal, and requiring some time in a tank full of liquid every few days to keep the process from reversing. He liked to drive old cars, and had to keep coming up with excuses why he, a young-ish person, had memories from his time on the force from many years back.
Also the house had this odd cartoon character AI that also showed up in the cars.
openweird psychedelic youtube channel or video Web Original
i remember this really weird video about a woman with paper eyes over her eyes doing some weird crafting tutorial on the style of 80s children shows, and some kind of weird looking puppet cat(?) with lots of allusions to mushrooms there are others characters like a woman obscured on shadows ("identity protection on a interview" style) and a girl who has a paper mouth over her mouth (yeah its pretty surreal)
openOld police mech game Videogame
I remember an old game from when I was young that I have no idea of what it is called, that featured what at first looked like a futuristic police car that suddenly turns into a mech in the introduction to the first stage. From what I remember it was vaguely 3D and played in an isometric view (I think it could be rotated though not to sure). I also remember that the mech had a full assortment of weapons, one which I do remember as some sort of small nuke that was launched straight upward from the mech and then crashed at the enemy a short while later. I also remember that in the first stage there was a huge tank that had to be destroyed due to it blocking a path in one part of the stage. Anyone has any clue to what it might be for a game?
openSome kids movie where a dad has a hit out on him and the kid saves him Film
I only remember two sequences. One is where the main character's dad is driving, but his brakes were cut and hijinks ensue until he crashes safely. The other is where the dad is hiding from some assassins in the wild and trying to suppress a sneeze, but his son (who seems to have become some kind of one with nature hunter or something) is standing behind him and says "geshundheit/bless you".
openSpecial Needs News Show Live Action TV
I watched a few years ago these cilps from a show that I thought was called "News For You." It was a show that had a group of travelling reporters that would go to different parts of the country and interview people. All of the reporters were special needs, the show was great. I cannot for the life of me find this anywhere now. I remember one episode they went to a prison rodeo. Can anyone help?
openspiderman Print Comic
can't remember the name but it was a series of comics with a blond haired kid who in each issue pretended to be a different one of his favorite superheroes and at the end he met them
openOld cop tv show..
My apologies if I'm posting this in the wrong area, but I'm driving myself crazy trying to think of a tv show and would appreciate any help.
It was kind of a cheesy but good cop drama that was cancelled pretty early (not sure if it lasted a full season.) I think all the characters had a main "job"....the one that sticks out might have been their bomb/explosives expert. He was a stocky white guy with dreadlocks and tattoos. I think I was a teenager so this was probably the early 2000s because I had a crush on this guy. After googling said expert, in real life he was the lead singer of a popular alternative/rock band. Everything I google comes up with nothing. I appreciate any and all help!
Edited by VegasWaysopenRecent pop/R&B song Music
I apologize for the extreme vagueness but I couldn't catch any of the lyrics of this song despite my efforts. I'm looking for a pop or R&B song that I think came out fairly recently (it was on the radio) and it had a bit of an electronic tinge, as I recall. All I remember is that there was a section where every bar there was a short melody followed by syllables that sounded like "ah-ah, ah-ah". The singer was a woman, I'm pretty sure of that. Any ideas?
open"Chase the Sun" by Avicii, but apparently not? Music
So I used to listen to this one song on youtube that was labeled as Chase the Sun by Avicii. I just went back to re-listen, and the video was gone. All the current results for Avicii Chase the Sun are a completely different song (probably the real "Chase the Sun"), and the song I'm trying to find was apparently something else entirely. Unfortunately, the song was instrumental so I can't just look up the lyrics. It was an upbeat electronic song comparable to Avicii's Holiday (here), and the video title was something like "Avicii Chase the Sun (NEW SONG 2015)"
openCan't remember! Live Action TV
Show about mom who runs hair salon out of home. I remember watching it when I was younger. There was one episode where one of the kids accidentally makes the mom cut off a huge chunk of the clients hair

openEpisode of a 1970s show Live Action TV
Looking for the episode of a TV show from the 1970s (I think with a predominantly African-American cast but not sure) in which the teenage protagonists submit an idea to their favorite show. The idea is that the characters from the metashow find a bag of money, not sure what happens after that. Soon afterward, the metashow airs an episode where exactly that happens. The protagonists somehow confront the producer of the show about the idea theft, but the producer opens a filing cabinet to show them all the letters they received with the exact same idea. I thought for sure this was What's Happening but I can't find it in any episode guide.
openMartial Art TV reality Show
Ok guys, this is bugging me i seen this tv realty type show about 13+ years ago and it is about random everyday martial art students that went on to this show to compete on who would be the best. they used to get trained by the monk masters and at the end of each episode they would have to fight each other to stay in the house.. i think they were all british aswell.
openFairly recent restaurant game Videogame
I wrote this query here not long ago, but I forgot to add the medium above. Rather than bump the old one, I thought it would be better to start a new one, with the medium this time. The old one can be locked.
Anyway, I remember reading somewhere on This Very Wiki about one of those "restaurant management" games. It was apparently released recently, but it's done in a Retraux style to look like a Japanese game from the 90's. I think the characters are all anthropomorphic sea creatures, and the protagonist is a pink crab. Does anyone know what this is?
openMovie Clip
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3vMcBU71X4&lc=z135u3x4lmirjvrb404cgr5pnwv5t32jzyk0k
Does anyone know the movie at 2:08?
openI need help remembering a shows name.
I don't know when it was made. But I do know there was a match between tow groups of robots. And there ammo was water the robots fort each other on the moon for humans entertainment. And protagonists is a robot with a wired friend and the ability to transform. Oh and there is a pet robot armadillo that hates the protagonist friend.
openEarly Neverwinter Nights 2 module Videogame
I'm looking for an early Neverwinter Nights 2 modules. All I remember is it took place in a swamp and at the beginning you meet a Chaotic Good cleric name Cassandra Lightheart. I didn't get all the way through it but I remember I really liked it so I would like to find it again.
openno idea, but pretty sure it's this side of 2008 Live Action TV
not sure if the show even came out, but all i remember is from ads for it on tv. it centered around two guys i think, that were touristing out somwhere tropical. one of them got a special tribal tattoo or something like that, but eventually he had a premonition of a drowned girl. he then tries to save her in real life, all the while this gets the two dudes wrapped up in a deeper conspiracy/bad people plot. that's all i got, but it's killing me to not remember what it is, as it just popped into my head after years, and i'm like yeah, i'd like to watch that.
Hey everyone, so I randomly remember this show from years ago. Its was a little kid show with a monkey who was a train conductor and I'm pretty sure they were puppets and it took place in the jungle and the monkey conductor would visit other animals and there would be music. (Sorry for the vagueness this was such a long time ago
