openMidsomer murders episode Live Action TV
Does anyone know what's the name of this episode of midsomer murders. Found it while browsing Sinister Minister
- There's one episode of Midsomer Murders where the murderer is the local priest, responsible for three murders. The reason for this is that (unbeknownst to his wife and the rest of the village) he'd had a kid some 20 years earlier with an unmarried woman, and said kid had died (in order to join a "club", the members made him stand tiptoe on a chair with a noose around his neck while they went off for a smoke). When one of the victims thought he was dying, he confessed to the priest, who decapitated one, burned another alive, and arrowed the last through the back. Quite a normal Backstory for a resident of Midsomer County.
open80's TV Episode, similar to Twilight Zone/Groundhog Day Live Action TV
Hi there,
During 80's (mid to late, could be very early 90's), I watched an episode about a trucker who gets lost in the countryside. He's a young fellow with an attitude and in a hurry. He pulls into a town with a small population sign.
He goes to a cafe, tries to get directions to leave town, but the people there tell him to relax and enjoy himself. He has none of it, and just wants to out.
He attempts to leave the town following his map, but all roads lead back to the town, even after hours of driving. The scenes focus on the town sign with the population sign everytime he returns. He gets more and more frustrated, but the roads always lead to the same town and same cafe with the the old fellows relaxing.
Eventually he's exhausted, he decides to join in, making peace that he can never leave. He looks happy with that decision; so even though he's trapped in the town, he's come to realise he's been living at too fast of a pace. A new trucker comes into the cafe, asking how he can leave. The newly enlightened young guy just tells him to relax, as the new trucker leaves in a huff. Afterwards, at the end of the episode, shows the population sign increase by one.
I had the 1980 Twilight Zone DVD set, this episode was not on it, though I could have sworn this was a Twilight Zone episode. I couldn't find an Amazing Stories episode with this premise either. It was very remincent of Groundhog day before the movie came out; perhaps lyrically similar to Hotel California.
I believe the episode name may have been the name of the town.
Can anybody help find this TV Series and episode?
openLive-action animated series/episode Live Action TV
I'm guessing the show was from the late 90s up until the mid 2000s. It probably was either a Fox Kids or Jetix series, but I saw it in Greece, so I can't be sure. It apparently featured two parallel universes, one animated, the other live-action. I only remember one scene from it.
The scene goes like this: two women are on theater stage or something similar but are being controlled by strings like puppets. Every time the live-action woman pulls down the strings, the animated woman's arms go up, and vice-versa. Once the scene (dream?) ends, both women talk to some guy (maybe their brothers) about what happened.
Thanks in advance. I'm sorry I don't remember anything else.
openAn episode of a show where a guy changes his date’s fortune Live Action TV
An episode of (maybe a kids?) show where a guy is on a date at a Chinese restaurant with a girl. When she goes to the bathroom, he checks the fortune in her fortune cookie and doesn’t like what he reads. He then goes to the lady that makes the cookies and asks for a bunch of fortunes and opens them all until he finds one he likes. Then he uses a needle or something to put the fortune back into a cookie and puts it back on her plate before she gets back.
openEveryone transfixed by the sky Live Action TV
I saw a clip of a scene where a young woman was running through the streets. A bunch of people are in the streets staring up. The young woman cannot get anyone to talk to her, like they're frozen. She eventually finds a police officer who is moving and acting normally inside a coffee shop. He says something weird that makes little sense and then goes outside and looks up.
I think this was from a television show or movie, 2000s or more recent. Any ideas?
openAt the end of my researching rope. Please help. Live Action TV
Seen around 1997/98. A small group of men were exploring tunnels, with sandy walls and short ceilings. Tunnels in a desert sort of setting. They were searching for something and were afraid. One of the group had the idea to implant some of his shotgun shells into the walls as they moved through, to make a trail, in case they got lost. Eventually they found a chamber with a sleeping woman. She was laying in a bed that was surrounded by a sheer veil. Then they were attacked by many assailants (to my memory, these were mummies but perhaps not) Only one of the party managed to get away, escaping upward through a hole that leads to surface and into the light of day. Only to be dragged back down into the sand in a classic horror ending. Ring any bells???
openold funny detective series Live Action TV
Searching for a funny detective series about an incompetent, alcoholic detective. Name might involve "Dick". Almost a parody of the noire genre. Mainly involved the detective screwing up traditional detective situations and having hilarious lines.
A few quotes, roughly:
Time passed like a glaucoma-ridden senior driving a big unfamiliar car in a strange part of town up a steep hill during a blizzard; which is to say, not all that quickly.
The thought of getting close to this dame was making me sweat harder than an obese geriatric in a jacuzzi- "What are you thinking about, Dick?" "Fat, naked old men. Sweaty ones." "..."
I need to check if this guy really was a priest. "Name an apostle." "...What?" "You heard me limp-dick, name an apostle." "Uh, Margaret. Margaret the apostle." "..." I made a mental note to only ask question I knew the answer to in future.
There was a whole episode where he picked a random name out of the phonebook and kept crank calling a guy, until he had a mental breakdown.
I don't know if this was on actual tv or just a series of youtube videos. I know I've found montages of "The best moments from [insert name of show here]" on Youtube before. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Edited by KolBardstromopenCrime Drama Live Action TV
Only saw one scene while flicking through Facebook.
A bank robbery is taking place with hostages being help a gun point by 3? robbers. The main character (felt like the main character) just walk past the armed swat team carry something (pizza?) into the bank like nothing is wrong. Then proceeds to tell the robbers that they won’t be taken seriously unless the kill someone, then proceeds to grab and aim one of the robbers gun barrels at his own head. He and the chief swat count down at 1, the main character pushes the gun to point at another robber then takes the gun to shoot the other 2. One of the robbers had a suicide vest on with a dead man switch for 30 seconds. With the robbers dead the hostages flee out the front, followed by the main character a moment later who walking eating a slice of pizza without a care in the world. Just as the main character meets up with the chief the suicide vest in the bank explodes.
openCar impounded at garage with trans woman Live Action TV
Fifteen/Twenty-so years ago, I remember seeing a scene where a man goes in a garage (named "(name) and Sons") to retrieve his impounded car. The two main points of the scene were:
- One of the "and Sons" was a trans woman; at some point she's seen repainting the garage's sign to "(name) and Co." — Given how old this was, the portrayal may not have been respectful (IIRC it was kind of played for laughs).
- She was manning the desk when the car's owner came in. Since the impound fee was more than the car was worth, and the car would be auctioned off if he didn't pay, the owner decided to let the car be auctioned off and buy it then. She let him sign the form before pointing to the (big, hard-to-miss) sign that says "IT IS ILLEGAL TO BUY YOUR OWN CAR IN AN AUCTION". The owner then asks his friend to straw-purchase it.
openA Kids TV Show That No one Seems to Remember. Live Action TV
Please HELP me find this kids show which I watched when I was younger but I haven’t heard anyone mention before. So I’m not too sure where it was filmed but I’m pretty sure it was somewhere in the UK. (I think). Or it might of been an American programme but I watched it on TV in the UK. They were real people acting and they used to wear quite eye catching or out there costumes. I’m pretty sure they used to wear different colours but don’t quote me on it. And I can’t remember anything else apart from one of the characters who I think was the ‘villain’ if you will and he used to wear this bold green lipstick that was glittery and also a suit? But all I definitely remember was that him and other characters or people in the show used to wear quite bold lipstick colours even the men. The villain guy in this show especially had the bold green lipstick and all I remember was that it was really sparkly. But I can’t remember what channel it came on or what it was called. Anyone else remember this show? This show is one which I’ve never heard anyone else reference and I only remember watching it with my sister but even she can’t remember what it was called and remembers bits but vaguely, it honestly feels like a fever dream. I watched it in the 2010s. But I know it’s real and must be out there. Any help finding the show would be great or if you remember it too, thanks.
Edited by Grey457openSci-fi series maybe? Live Action TV
I remember the world being a snow wasteland. There being some train station.
The main protagonist had a red coat I believe. And he had some visions. He went to some Indigenous people that lived outside in the snow to talk about those visions if I recall correctly.
That's pretty much all I remember.
openStop-Motion/Puppet Piano Telling Jokes, possibly British Live Action TV
I'm not sure if this is from a movie, TV show, or something else, but I'm having trouble tracking down the source of a clip I found on Twitter.
The clip was of a stop-motion piano that looked like this:

It talked (by flapping its "keyboard lid" up and down), and the man who voiced it was... not very intelligible.
It opened its "comedy show" (to offscreen, canned, applause) by saying "Ladies and gentlemen... my impression of [unintelligible]". The unintelligible name, by the way, sounded like "Glen Kegall" but I looked up that name (and a few variants) and didn't get anything. The announcement was followed by a laugh track.
It then said "Him at a [unintelligible]" and did what can only be described as a "leg dab", which the canned laughter thought was really funny.

Then it said, possibly, "Him and a girl" and did the same thing, with the laugh track again finding it hilarious.
And then, it Non Sequitere'd to "And leave the rest. to. me." (with each period representing a "leg dab"). The "audience" thought this was uproarious. Then they clapped, and then the clip ended.
For those who think they might be able to actually figure out what the piano is saying, here's the Twitter post
. Note that the reference to Oscar's Orchestra was just done as a joke- this is not that cartoon.
openCriminal Minds episode (yet still unsolved) Live Action TV
This should be fairly easy, but no luck finding it while searching. All I remember was a brown haired young girl in her bedroom hearing her parents argue who were getting louder and louder, sadly how most parents get while arguing and hearing several arguments in my family growing up it resonated with me and I did similar things she did. Anyway, when she hears her parents argue, she does not just cover her ears, but tries to drown it with more noise, such as TV, maybe hiding in a closet, etc. That is all I actually can remember, and I know it is not much to go on, but can anyone please identify the title? Any help is truly appreciated, thank you. I know it is definitely from Criminal Minds though that is all I remembered watching.
Edited: someone on Reedit suggested the Law and Order SVU episode Savant, but I doubt it is that after looking it up. I could have sworn it was a Criminal Minds episode.
Edited by thestormtrooperopenA show my friend told me about Live Action TV
A friend told me about a show she really wanted to find and I couldn't recognize it myself, so I ended up here. Copy-pasted from discord, with permission:
- i must have seen it between the years of 2013 to 2017, and in the northeast united states.
- i do not recall the channel the show aired on, or what time it was.
- the show was not a cartoon, in fact there were no animated aspects at all. it was also not a puppet show. there were live actors in suits playing the characters.
- it was a show targeted towards a preschool demographic, with educational aspects.
- the show's setting was an infinitely large blank white room with a large pillar situated in the center. situated on the pillar was a yellow analogue clock and four doors; one red, one yellow, one blue, and one green.
- the show had a disembodied male narrator.
- at the start of every episode, the narrator would read the clock—-which displayed a different time each episode—-and tell the viewer it was time for "our friends" to come out and play. the friends he is referring to are the main characters.
- there were two girls and two boys; the two girls were red & yellow, and the boys were blue & green. i do not recall what species the characters were, or their names. their colours corresponded to the doors, those doors belonged to them.
- there were three topics of discussion throughout each episode. one character, let's say red, would ask a question. another character, let's say blue, would say something along the lines of "i can help you with that!" and open their door to reveal a short cinematic.
- as mentioned previously, the cinematic focused on an early educational aspect, such as science, literacy, and occupations.
- there were two educational periods at a time, before the narrator popped in to say it was either play time or lunch time, depending on the episode.
- play time consisted of the characters playing with blocks or other toys that were randomly dispersed throughout the blank white room. lunch time consisted of them talking about what they brought for lunch. it was usually the average "healthy food" a parent would encourage their young child to eat.
- after the third cinematic, the narrator would look at the clock and tell the viewers it was time for their friends to go home, and the characters waved goodbye and go back up the tubes they entered through.
That's all. Anything would be a huge help.
openSun sets in the credits Live Action TV
When I was about four or five years old I caught the credits of some show in my grandmother's house. The only things I can remember were the background footage being a close-up of a sunset and the music being a children's choir singing something (not sure what though). The only other things I recall are the credits themselves being in plain white text and both the text and the music stop when the sun disappears below the horizon. It's stuck with me ever since and I still have no idea where it came from.
open"You Name it, We Name it" Live Action TV
Does anyone remember a single-camera sitcom about a couple with adult children, wherein the dad is disappointed at his daughter's choice of fiancè - a guy whose business is "naming things", meaning, people send him their novels, inventions, business ideas, and he comes up with a catchy name, title? His company's logo was "You Name it, We Name it".
Edited by PisthetairosopenLooking for an old kids' puppet show (SOLVED: Happy Ending Stories) Live Action TV
I know for certain this wasn't Jim Henson's Animal Show or anything similar, but it was a very cute, bucolic puppet show that I used to have on VHS when I was little. As I recall, the VHS tapes had yellow cardboard slip-on covers with stripes (red on one cover, green on the other). The puppet characters were all animal people like rabbits and hedgehogs that wore clothes and lived in families, and the VH Ses alternated between live action puppet shows and illustrated pictures (this may imply that there were also tie-in storybooks, but I'm not sure since I never recollect having or seeing one of such). The plot of one of the live-action segments was about a bunny(?) going out at night and being scared by freaky looking shapes and shadows in the dark, only to be found in the morning by a friendly older puppet, who explained that what the child puppet saw were just things that looked like scary faces and figures- I most clearly I remember him explaining that one was just an old tree with knotholes that looked like a scary face. One of the storybook segments featured another bunny being afraid of thunder and lightning during a storm, and not being able to go to his older brother for help, because the brother was too busy doing homework. I also remember that the opening and ending theme was a chorus sung by the voice actors of the puppets, with a title sequence that portrayed the puppets singing in a choir together. I have fond memories of this show and I sure do miss it, so I'd love to see if I can't rediscover it somewhere!
EDIT: Solved! The series this was from was "Happy Ending Stories", adapted from a series of picture books; the adventures I recalled were "Adventure in the Dark" and "Hoppity's First Thunderstorm". Also, turns out the main character of "Adventure in the Dark" was a field mouse, not a bunny. Whoops!
Edited by WakingPrinceMattyopenUnknown Live Action TV
This was a 1960s British comedy show. It may have been a variety show or sketch show that featured a segment that had a tiny western town set on what I can only describe as a sand box. The characters in the western sketch were invisible. The only thing that you heard were high-pitched, incomprehensible mutterings or gobbledygook and the only thing that you saw was the set, tiny props and trails in the sand where the invisible entities were presumably walking. They interacted with the sets (little doors opening, wagons moving, etc. This was part of a regular show featuring comedic actors in the flesh. I remember seeing this as a child in Scotland anywhere between 1963 and 1966.
openWeird robot bug show Live Action TV
I remember watching this show when I was younger about these robot bugs, and there would be three teams, with three rounds. I don't remember much after that, bit I do know one of yhe bugs was called Dragonfly, and I think another was callec mimi

Sorry this will be pretty long-winded because I’ve tried to find it multiple times and no one seems to know.
This is a show I watched on Netflix probably 3ish years ago. I’m fairly certain it isn’t on there anymore because I’ve tried to find it and I can’t. It was an Asian (Korean I think? Maybe Japanese? I can’t remember) romance show that centered around three girls and their separate romances. The girls were best friends.
The main girl was a student, and had her romance with a fellow student who was secretly a famous musician (I think his stage name started with a W?) and they had a sort of “I hate you but secretly I like you” thing going on. I think she was forced to work with him for the class. One scene with them I remember in particular is when she suddenly got sick with food poisoning and he took her back to his apartment so she could diarrhea with nothing but a foldout divider separating them, then he went and bought her stomach medicine. At some point she found out about his secret and he ended up taking her to this house he was shooting a music video at. He also had some weird lust-y side romance with a famous artist. I think he started getting close to the main girl but at some point they stop talking for maybe a year, for what reason I can’t remember (probably start of season 2). She had a baby she had to take care of sometimes (I think her sisters baby?) and he would continually confront her and try to convince her to give him the time of day. The last scene I can remember with them is them on a rooftop together.
One of the other girls is an office worker. She was very stressed and pressured a lot for one reason or another, so she started going to get massages. I believe it was a family owned place, and she found her romance in her masseuse. He was always very sweet and would give her roses, and I think he walked her home a few times.
The other girl was the train wreck friend. She had a history of dating musicians who were on tour and going on the tour bus with them, then getting left behind once they got bored with her. She had finally moved on from that and said she wanted to date someone seriously. She started working as an assistant to a director on a movie set. She quickly fell head over heels in love for the leading man, who was a very serious older guy, and was supposed to be a pretty big deal and a great actor. I think maybe he had been out of the business for a bit and this movie was him coming back, if I remember right. She would keep trying to impress him and get his attention by doing tasks for him, meanwhile not doing the rest of her job very well.
There was also some side-story happening with a girl who I think might have been the main girls sister. I think she found out her husband had been cheating on her and she confronted his mistress, but I can’t remember what came of it.
That’s officially everything I can remember from that show. I think maybe the title had something to do with a tree or a flower but I could be totally wrong. If anyone has any idea I would be so grateful. I’d like to close by saying it wasn’t a good show at all, but it holds a special place in my heart and I’d really like to find it for some nostalgia. Thanks for your time!
