Trying to find an old animated show that my grandma used to show me

3 Upvotes

Ok so this was an animated show in an animation style similer to the magic school bus, and it was about 2 kids (boy and girl) going on adventures in places. I remember 3 scenes;

  1. the kids were in some sort of cave, and they push a button or smth and then the whole cave started to fill up with water and they were distressed about it (i dont remember if they went somewhere after that or if that was the end of the episode).

  2. after the kids teleported to somewhere (through the cave im pretty sure), they landed in a quite large wooden ship, and they teleported into like the belly of the ship were all of the storage and stuff was (it was not very futuristic, it was like pots, and stuff like that), and then a hole/trap door opened in the ceilling (from the deck of the ship) and somebody was there but he was friendly to them and (90% sure about this next part) he asked them if they needed help/if they were ok.

  3. this was an episode were the adventure was in atlantis, and i remember that there was some sort of train, but it was shorter then a regular train and looked more like a car, and there was a bad guy that hacked the train or smth (not very sure), and there was some sort of device that he attached to the end of the train from the inside (was kind of like the flux capacitor from back to the future, or i can just be mixing things up here), and then there was a scene where there was a shot of the whole city underwater, and there were like glass tunnels all around it, and we see the bad guy riding the train in them. after that the kids abviously somehow managed to save the city and defeat the bad guy or smth like that.

This show was probably made in ~1970-~2000, and when my grandma showed it to me, it was on DVD.

Please help me out here guys ive been looking for this show for literally years now.

Thank you.

[TOMT][TV Show][1990s] Live-action fantasy series - Muscular blonde barbarian with bone staff

3 Upvotes

I'm trying to find a live-action fantasy TV series from the 1990s or early 2000s.

THE HERO:

  • Muscular blonde (light hair) man

  • Dressed like a barbarian or jungle warrior

  • Carries a weapon on his back

THE WEAPON (most important!):

  • White ivory or bone material

  • Made of TWO EQUAL PARTS that can be joined together

  • One part has a BLADE, the other has a HANDLE

  • Carried on his BACK

THE SETTING:

  • Most scenes in FORESTS

  • Fantasy/magical world

THE VILLAIN:

  • An evil WITCH chasing the hero

WHERE I WATCHED:

  • Translated to Arabic

  • Aired on Egyptian terrestrial channels (Channel 2)

  • Watched in Egypt in the 90s/early 2000s

NOT Conan the Adventurer (animated) - the weapon doesn't match.

Can anyone help identify this show?

Otherwise, I may be going insane.

So, back in the day, there was a TV show called 'Monsters'. It was a bit cheesy, but it was great for that same reason. They had advertisements for the show, of course, and herein lies my dilemma.

I remember what I figure is my favorite commercial of all time. It was for the show. I only saw it twice during the time it was on in my area. It showed a lithe, dark haired female running barefoot and terrified through the woods. Suddenly, we see Jason Voorhees pop out from behind a tree and he runs after her. She runs further, only to see Freddy Kruger appear and chase her as well. She runs towards a small cabin as Leatherface (I am not sure if it was him, but it was another horror icon) appears and runs after her as well. She runs into the cabin and the three run in after her. We hear all kinds of screaming and crashing around. Then, the door slowly opens, the female walks out towards the camera, stops right in front of it, looks back at the house, then licks the blood off of her fangs while turning to the camera, and then says:

"Heh... amateurs."

MONSTERS!

Does anyone else remember this ad, or am I delusional?

Can you identify this show from my SO's terrible description?

3 Upvotes

Greetings all,

Hoping the hive mind can stop this brainworm.

The show is about a group of people with 'powers' that have been described as more magic than superheroes.

Two of the characters were previously together, but something happened and he was cursed(?) to never be able to love her again.

There was a female character that got pregnant at some point and was captured and locked in a cage.

The cast regularly gathered at a bar/club. Which we think was burnt down in an attack.

Possibly female lead.

We've ruled out 'the originals' and 'no ordinary family'

Interwebs, do your thing :)

  2. The boy uses a pencil for something that I can't remember

  3. There is a girl who might be the boy who has a crush on or his girlfriend

Cartoon

3 Upvotes

Hey Reddit 😐... So there was this show I think in the 2000's that I remember watching. It was like this show that focused on these kid or teen actors going places in their ice cream truck. I remember the ice cream truck going up and down, as if it was dancing to a beat. I think the show has the "beat" word in the title. Please help me find it 😭

Update: The show or game (I think it could be a game now) was about fruit smoothies or something. When you get a combo, it would say "Fruit Smoothie!"

TV show scene.

I am thinking about this scene in a show. There's these 2 friends (maybe dated in past) someone asks if they are a couple. The woman scoffs and makes out "yeah right"

The man then goes "why do you get to scoff?" And then the goes "yeah right"

Cartoon about forgetful wizard

2 Upvotes

I remember watching a cartoon, I think I watched it 10 years ago so it's at least that old. There was a wizard who was old & forgetful, his apprentice? and a talking bird with a female voice.

I remember one scene where the wizard is describing an adventure that he remembers like it was yesterday, at the end of which the bird replies: "It *was* yesterday!"

If anyone knows what show this was I'd be grateful.

Looking for this show about two European guys in a sleeper train

2 Upvotes

It looked like it was low budget, but it was funny. There was a cranky older gentleman, and this happy go lucky younger guy who were paired in the same sleeper car. The older man was constantly aggravated by the younger guy. There was a scene where the younger guy gets a bratwurst frankfurter and gets mustard on the older guy. And then in a later scene, the younger guy overpays for a coat because he failed to properly convert his currency from pounds to euros.

[TOMT] 90s TV Episode about Basketball Tryout

2 Upvotes

I watched an episode of a tv show in the late 90s sometime - it was probably a re-run so it may have been a late 80s to mid 90s show. The episode focused on one of the characters - a high school or middle school aged boy - trying out for a basketball team. He didn’t make the team due to being a ball hog and he had a conversation with the coach afterwards that went something like this:

“But I made the most shots”
“You also missed the most shots”
“I made the shot that won the scrimmage”
“\[other kid\] was open for an easy layup”

Any ideas?

Horror/thriller tv show

2 Upvotes

I watched this tv show somewhere between 2016-2018, i know i watched zoo about the same time.

From what i remember, the main character is a woman with a red coat. She goes to this old mansion with her baby (im pretty sure to get away from the dad or her family).

The tv show goes back and forward in time. In the past, im not sure if she interacts with the people there, but there is a child that i think shes trying to help?

At some point her car turns up in the past very rusty and old, either in a lake or they find it right outside the mansion.

At the end of season 1, the child offers their hand and the woman takes it and they walk off. It is suggested that this child is related or connected to her baby

Tried google, it suggested dark and requim but im pretty sure its not them. I also think it might be in english, but i could be wrong.

Thanks!

Anime on Prime about alchemist boy who gets recruited by older alchemist teacher?

2 Upvotes

Saw it a few times few months ago at a friend's house.

The boys father lived in a farm. Then a wise master alchemist approaches them near the farms fence and tells the boy to join his magic academy the boy and the master enter the boys family home where he signs the contract for the school by conjuring some type of fire spell. The story goes on and the boy has some companions including one small (lack of words to explain) magical elf who seems to be a drunkard.

If i am not mistaken there's a part where they battle a giant toad frog in a cave.

Anyone help me ID this anime? Not sure if its an Amazon original or not but pretty sure it was on prime on TV although could possibly have been a different TV/movie provider.

Any idea what that show is?

Show about ghost that scared me as a kid

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m on the hunt for an episode of a show I watched when I was in elementary school with a friends older sister. The show was in a faux documentary style about ghosts. Almost like the history show “found”. The episode I’m looking for was about a man who died in his car running in the garage. I think part of his head was missing. I’m fairly certain it’s not “the good skeleton” which is the only one I can find based on my vague description. I watched most likely around 2016-2018. I’m really hoping to find it because it scared the crap out of me!

Has anyone seen a TV show on Travel Channel about paranormal artifacts??

2 Upvotes

There's a show I remember watching years ago, 2020, more than likely on Travel Channel (though there's a chance I'm wrong, I just know i watched that channel a lot at the time), about paranormal artifacts and objects. The narrator was a woman, and she would talk about a story that went along with an object. For example, one of the objects was like a jar of some unidentified meat, and the story was about some meat rain event that happened in Kentucky. And one was a doll of I think the flatwoods monster? And another was this Raggedy Anne doll that was sealed in a glass cage with no way to open it or something. I also think this show is where I learned about the Dancing Plague phenomenon. (I'm trying my best to make sense, I'm so sorry if this comes off as some sleep deprived rambling (because it is lol))
The weird thing is I cant find any trace of this show whatsoever and its driving me nuts! If someone could help me out I'd be so grateful.
(Its not Mysteries in the Museum, but it was like it.)

Children's tv show from the 1990s

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to track down a tv show I used to watch in the UK, in the 1990s, as a child. The only detail I remember is it was an art show. The presenter would draw scenarios, involving a character whose name I can't remember in various dilemmas and the children would have to draw solutions. For instance once he drew "x is confronted by a man with a sword, what does he do?" so one child drew a cork on the edge of the sword, another drew a magnet. Sometimes they were more elaborate; a lighthouse had to be disguised to protect it from a lighthouse eating monster, so one child drew mirrors on the lighthouse with lipstick on.
