open"Get out of there before Craboon is born." Live Action TV
So there was this TV show where the villains made basically fusions of existing animals to fight the heroes.
I remember a female villain was radioing a male henchman who was planting like an egg or something and it would give birth to a crab baboon fusion and they called it Craboon.
And the female villain was giving orders and said something along the lines of "Get out of there before Craboon is born."
openWhich shows do these quotes come from Live Action TV
Simply put, I would like to know where these quotes came from -
“…and naming our fists?”
“Oh, I’m not fast, but I’m furious!”
“…pigeons are jerks, by the way”
openEuropean Paranormal Investigation Show Live Action TV
Ok so I think I watched this show on netflix but I cant find it in any records. It was about 3, maybe 4 adults. Either English or Irish I think. That investigated paranormal and absurd claims to find the truth behind them. One episode had them proving that ghost lanterns were just owls, and another had them trying to solve the sighting of a black panther. I think it was 2 dudes and a woman, and they worked out of an RV. The film wasnt amazing so early 2000s I'd guess. There was another episodes about deer in a gilf course and one about foxes being mostaken for demons i think. Also one about boars and ine about chupacabra. And at the end of each episode, theyd make like a powerpoint compilling evidence to show the locals and let them decide whether they thought it was paranormal or not.
openIDK what it is Live Action TV
Ok so...this show was on one of the streaming networks (Hulu, Netflix,etc). It was an international show (maybe... Turkish?) & dubbed in English. It was about a young man in college (with well to do parents), & a beautiful young woman, attending the same college (yet,not rich, & she helps in her widowed Father's little cafe). It's a pretty modern show about two people who, after going through several krazy times (she became homeless after she went to college), he finally got her to fall in love ❤️ with him (after also dealing with extremely snobbish 'rents who wanted him to marry someone else). They had several krazy friends who hung in & tried to help, but keeping*The Family Resistance* at bay when you're trying to fall in love to eventually get married through several episodes equaled a pretty fun Rom Dramedy! Please help me find them, cause I got into an accident,& never finished. Thanks to All who had the time to work on this, I do appreciate it! 😘🤗 Plus, I have two more I'll submit in a few. I'll certainly help with what I can for the group, as well. Thanks again! Plucki 😊
openRandom memory of a show. Live Action TV
This just popped into my mind and i can't remember what it's from. Think it's a british show, but not 100 percent on that. A guy starts to fall in love with a woman from the middle east who's moved in to his area. She has has a son and cooks a few different dishes for him. Things go sour and she breaks it off vut he goes to her new house and they decide to try again. There's something about the son with a phone and i think the guy works either as press or low-level government.
Thanks
Edited by Culchieman1995resolved Trying to figure sources of Korean media from an ancient meme Live Action TV
Well somehow I had a nostalgia trip back to the later 2000s and noticed this particular Korean meme of Rainbow Tylenol. Problem is, I don't know where the heck they managed to get their memes from. What were the names of those shows were used in the creation of this meme?
openBoy talks to wall cartoons Live Action TV
A US TV show possibly from the early 1990s. I was about a boy who talked to animated cartoon characters on walls and would go on magical adventures, I think.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
openHorror host who had a downloadable show on Itunes Live Action TV
He dressed like stereotypical vampire.
Most of the movies where either public domain (such as Wasp Woman, which I watched) or indie short films.
In same episode as Wasp Woman, it included a promo and clips from the Troma movie Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, also dating to 2006. He also interview someone from the film, but I don't remember who.
One other film was a short about Jack-O'-Lantern people trying to turn human into more Jack-O'-Lantern people, and a woman trying to stop them.
resolved Specific Doctor Who episode - Mandela effect Live Action TV
In which episode of Doctor Who did the Doctor tell Amy about the Mandela effect? He didn't call it that, but he talked about how people sometimes have memories that don't match up with reality. I'd like to get that quote.
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.
resolved Puppet Airship Live Action TV
I seem to recall a show (possibly educational) about these puppet animals who lived on an airship.
There were transition scenes where I saw the airship rendered in CGI.
openShow within a show about ferrets Live Action TV
I was in the hospital a few days ago. With nothing to do, I was flipping between channels on the TV, and caught a show that had multiple plot threads going on. One of them was about an Asian woman who was the head writer on a show starring a bunch of ferrets (puppets, I assume). The network said they wanted to add a human character and forced her to add in an obnoxious white male comedian who wasn't nearly as funny as he thought he was. The weird part is that the other plot threads (on the outer show) seemed to be from completely unrelated shows - they weren't even the same genre, as the ferret plotline seemed like a sitcom and the other plot threads were from a drama or a police procedural. Anyway, it appeared to be something currently-running, not a re-run. Anyone recognize it?
openA 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.
resolved Gumball-esc Puppet Show (Found!) Live Action TV
There was this one show I'm trying to remember that was once on Netflix back when it was still on the Wii. It was about this puppet kid trio (a black male who was the main character, a white female who either had a rabbit hood like Louise from Bob's Burgers or was voiced by the same person as Louise, & a white male that I know for sure had no visible mouth or pupils due to his clothing & glasses) who discover weird & paranormal things in their school every episode such as a gun that would swap over attributes of two items (Such as making orange bananas & yellow oranges), a golem made out of tables & chairs from the teachers lounge, or what I remember the most was a time machine in a hidden part of the school, one where you have to move a crank in order to push time by a small margarine.
Edited by BagelDemonopenScary Hospital Promo(?) Live Action TV
I apologize if this isn't enough detail.
Back in 2010-2011, there was this commercial that scared me as a kid, which I think was a promo to a show or something. It had a narrator talking about ways doctors "change the way patients behave" and it had visuals of hospital patients screaming, one of which seeming to have two vertical cuts at either side of their nose.
This is a vague memory, but I highly doubt it was something my brain made up, because my young mind wouldn't have generated something this twisted.

openGame Show Parody from 80s/90s Live Action TV
I believe I saw this on Comedy Central in the mid-'90s. Probably an SNL rerun from the late '80s or early '90s, but I'm not totally sure. I think it was a parody of Jeopardy, because the fake game show set was mostly beige/cream colors. The only thing I remember was a stoner/hair metal/Bill & Ted type whose every answer was an extremely long winded rant about finding a girl who dumped him and burning her house down.
Oh, and it goes without saying that Google is useless, because it just spams Celebrity Jeopardy skits everywhere.
Edited by WarriorsGate
I remember that as a child between 2010-2014 I had seen on tv a scene of a family (a man with children) in a tent that was in their house, probably the living room and then some wild animals arrived, (not giants like elephants) one by one one they saw, a parrot, I assure you it is not Ace Ventura or Jumanji from the 90s, also the scene seems to have been done in late 2000-early 2010, please help me find the scene, or I tried to ask on reddit but it didn't work.
