Title: Guess the TV show
Post by: AnasAbdin on Mon 26/06/2017 21:48:01
Like the sister thread *Guess the Movie Title* try to guess what's on TV now, a guess should be complete though mentioning the title, season and episode numbers as well.
Here's something to begin with:

Are you serious about having to name the exact season and episode numbers?! 8-0

The show's name isn't enough? I'm guessing that episode number especially will just be a trip to google for 99% of people, and that's not much fun.

How about season and/or episode number (no google rule) for extra kudos, or as a tie-breaker?

At least you could try!
You know.. someone can guess the title as a lead 8-)

Okay, but be prepared for pages of number spam guesses after that. (laugh)

How about a brief description of what happened in the episode like: "Oh, that's the episode where >character< found out the truth about >matter< but was killed by >character< before they could tell anyone." (with spoiler tag)

Well it's NBC. So I'll start with only NBC show I know off the top of my head:
Law and Order?
No idea about season but I'll guess. Season 17 Episode 4

Interesting gameplay concept so far:

Recognize the TV show and then play Mastermind to narrow down the season and episode.

I'm not being snarky. Maybe it could be fun, but what happens if someone spams every available numbers in one post?

Like I said, I wasn't being snarky. I actually think the gameplay of the Mastermind round after the TV show had been guessed could be fun.

I was just asking if limits for guessing season/episode could be a potential issue... (papa... LOL!)
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: Stupot on Thu 29/06/2017 18:15:39
I personally don't think guessing numbers is fun (unless it's dates on IRC trivia). If someone knows a show well enough to know the episode number, then they probably know the episode name as well. And I think that would be a fun chance for people to show off their geeky TV knowledge. But if it becomes apparent no one knows the episode and is just guessing numbers then we might as well move onto the next round.

Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: Kumpel on Fri 30/06/2017 00:32:01
Okay that makes sense. So for the Mastermind Round we need the right episode title. I like that.
But who is geeky enough that he doesn't need to google what the name of s08e22 of Dallas has been? So I think googling the title is okay. I trust you guys :D


For the last one it was "Yakimono" btw.

AnasAbdin: Right Show, wrong episode title. Here is another picture if you wanna try again. If not just post another show and I will tell you the right one:

Haven't seen it yet, but I thought about the era that is depicted and besides Sleepy Hollow and Outlander I couldn't think of another modern show playing at this time. It is in my amazon watchlist, should it stay there? :)

No, it should go to your screen immideatly instead of wasting away on a watchlist. I didn't like the first few episodes all that much but I'm really glad I stuck with it. And now I can't wait for the series finale.

For the curious, the screenshot was season 3 episode 10.

With season 2 produced in cooperation with Amazon, the show will be available soon worldwide, if you guys wanna take a look at this pretty nice cold war spy thriller from the land of the VERY bad television.

No idea for the first two, but the third I think might be from the episode where the main character is on a date with the NATO secratery (I'm good with names, aren't I? :-[) for the first time and then buys the walkman - that's why I think it's this episode. Which would be S1 E4 or E5? Maybe ;)

Compared to a lot of other showes for that age group, it's fairly intelligent. And there's very little "teen drama", if any. All in all, it's a suspencful story for teens and a feel good show for adults, I'd say.

Wow. I just threw that out there. The first picture looked like it was 'on holiday' and the second one looked like a poor man's Eastenders soap opera, so Eldorado sprang to mind even though I never watched an episode.

I'll set a new one soon :-)

That's very good guesswork then, Stupot.  :grin:
The whole series is set in Spain, which gives it that 'holiday' look.
I miss that programme.  It never got the recognition it deserved.  :sad:

Oh! It was!

Then I guess that's Leo in the foreground? Let me try and guess the episode as well... Is it the one with the flashbacks to how Josh and the others came to work for the Bartlet campaign? (Leo saying "I think we're exactly that dumb", Josh hearing Bartlet speak honestly to dairy farmers, pulling Sam out of his evil lawfirm, etc.)

Using my tried-and-true "whatever I'm watching this particular moment" method, here's the next clue:

That is Leo, yup, but it's S1E22, when they use 'the signal' to communicate while Bartlet is doing a town hall.

That looks near-future (with the cool old fashioned lamp and the mysterious middle eastern chap in the picture).
Is it an episode of Black Mirror?

Another screenie showing the main characters:

(http://i64.tinypic.com/y97l.jpg)

This is a show I discovered while I was in Australia and I became quite the fan!

Obviously it's a show for kids, and an educational one at that, and aimed at an audience of 5-7 year olds, but the quality of the acting, writing, and production really grabbed me and I ended up watching it quite a bit and had a lot of laughs and also a lot of fun figuring out what the "lesson" was in each episode before it was revealed.

Best show for little kids since Blue's Clues in my opinion. Also I think adventure game fans would have fun with it trying to figure out the puzzles before the agents solve them. There was one where whatever was placed on a table disappeared until they put two things at the same time and then they didn't. Then they tried putting one more thing and everything disappeared. Then one of the restaurant owners jumped onto the table to try to save the things and he disappeared. And that's when the agents got their first lead but they had to be careful not assuming too much or they would never get the guy back. It explains the scientific method on this kind of level that really little kids can grasp.

And so many tropes! The agents even have a boss who is always angry and shouting at them all the time when they mess up, and she is adorable!

It's basically The X-Files for little kids and it is awesome!
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: Mandle on Thu 18/01/2018 15:37:19
Is this thread just dead or does nobody know this show?

I watched the first two episodes with a 4-year-old student today over lunch and she totally understood the concept of zeros being used to build larger numbers.

The genius of the episode is that they teach this by showing large numbers of vital things being reduced by factors of ten every time the "number hog" villain steals a zero, instead of showing an increase in value. Little kids grasp the concept of reduction much better than the concept of growth. They understand what having something taken away from them means to them: It sucks!

There is also a subplot where one of the main characters is about to turn 10 years old tomorrow but has the zero stolen from his birthday card so he will be a one-year-old baby again if they can't solve the case. So it gets personal!

Also, I love the stereotyped angry chief's comment of "I'm too young for this."

I thought Sanctuary was a terrible show, and yet I still watched every episode.
The things that annoyed me the most was that they called the monsters "Abnormals" despite the show claiming that they were natural and normal. Maybe it's just me but calling them "Abnormals" is worse than simply calling them monsters. But the thing that annoyed me more than anything else, was how the Cabal (I think that's how you write their name), which were hyped up to be a big evil organisation and the main villain for season 1, were completely destroyed off screen, early on in the next season.
The show definitely got better as the seasons went by, but I have no idea why I kept watching it.

I'm not sure what show to put up, so I'll just choose something that I'm currently watching, and see if anyone can guess it.

I don't know what the tv show is, however something that always got me about some of the animated shows was how much the characters were "cartoony", but the backgrounds were more artistic the further back it went. For instance, looking at the girls hair it doesnt show individual strands but rather clumps of hair all together like it was glued together in clumps, however the trees in the near foreground are a little more detailed in the branches with leaves but not individual leaves, but the trees in the far background you can see each branch in detail. Granted you don't see the individual leaves but you couldn't see that in a photograph either. does that make sense?

Time for some last-ditch hints, I suppose:

-It's a Netflix show now, originally it ran on Channel 4
-It's a rom-com/sitcom set in Glasgow (though I don't think any of the main cast do the accent)
-You might recognize several members of the cast in the last few screens from Misfits

And if that's not enough...

Scrotal Recall :wink:
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: Snarky on Fri 09/02/2018 21:16:50
Correct!

It's a good series: funny and quite sweet, with a neat flashback structure. Since nobody seems to have heard of it: A chronic romantic is diagnosed with chlamydia, and has to contact all his past sexual partners to tell them to get tested. As he awkwardly reconnects with his exes, the show looks back at each relationship, gradually filling in the history that has brought him and his friends to where they are today. Sort of similar to (500) Days of Summer or How I Met Your Mother in concept, but done in a much more low-key and British way.

It takes a couple of episodes to quite find its feet (these screens are from ep. 3, the first really good one), but I would definitely recommend it, and I'm surprised it didn't ring any bells around here.

"Scrotal Recall" was just a terrible title, though. Completely misrepresented the tone of the show. Lovesick still works as a pun and fits much better.

Nahhh, we love it, though it is a bit daggy nowadays. Sad to hear about Jon English passing away too :(

Yes, you're absolutely right! By the way, each screenshot posted featured at least one of the two main characters (86 or 99). I just took shots where they were obscured because had I included stuff like this, it would've been a little too easy:

The third picture is the first time Max meets 99, isn't it?

Well done recognizing the actor dayowlron, but Buckethead nailed it...

Ash vs. Evil Dead is a wonderful return to the mood of the original movies by the people who made them when they were young, and now, when older, still remember how to recapture that insane magic and give it a bit more maturity without forgetting that it must be insane first and foremost...

Oh, and Lee Majors, the nicest guy, playing the asshole father of Ash, one of the greatest assholes on film of all-time...

Brilliant!

Spoiler

And slipping in the line about Ash's mechanical hand being "Better, faster, stronger" so naturally...

Beyond brilliant!

Finally remembered the title - a clear pic of the main characters gave it away although i could not for the life of me remember that there was a helicopter in this show. In Germany it was called Ein Trio mit vier Fäusten (A Trio with four Fists) but imdb tells me the original title was Riptide.

You're absolutely correct. It's interesting what we remember, sometimes. The reason I said it's easy to guess the episode is because the show wasn't in black and white but in colour, except for one episode: the pilot.

Correct year, I can give you the 1st screenshot could be from that show, but it's not a crime show (most of the time anyway)... the genre is definitely correct in all previous guesses. So, no, not Silent Witness. (wrong)

Okay one pic more, this time with all 4 main cast actors in view (unfortunately they replace one of them in a future season by a guy that I really can't stand ruining part of the show for me...)

It's because Aykroyd wasn't acting in a role, but hosted it as himself. It's listed under the "Self" tab on IMDB.

I think I must have seen this at some point in the 90s, but it made zero impression whatsoever. And I recognized Colin Fox but couldn't put a name to the face. :-\  (Edit: He was in the Maniac Mansion show as Ed Edison!)

I can picture Dan Akroyd saying something like:

"Life can be full of mysteries, but in this particular case our team discover something they'll wish remained a mystery."

and each episode is an isolated case thats supernatural like the x-files, and I feel like I have seen several episodes of this back in the 90's, but can't for the life of me remember what it's called.

Extreme Ghostbusters?
Title: Re: What's on TV?

Wasn't Extreme Ghostbusters animated? Unless there were some kind of live action segments before or after the show (which I remembered none, unless they cut them in the local broadcast).

As someone mentioned Imdb I went there out of curiosity  and I think I found what show it was (it's been running for 5 years right?). Since I cheated and that I've never heard of this show (probably never shown here) I'll pass.
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: Cassiebsg on Fri 06/04/2018 19:08:05
That is not cheating! That is investigative work! Cheating would be taking the picture and run it through google images hoping to get a hit. :P

And no, it's not an animated Extreme Ghostbusters... but I have no more pics... except maybe the name of the show...

Sorry, I'm trying, but think you need to give more clues. I haven't even been able to figure out the genre... Though, that last 2 pics seem to have actors I probably should recognize... but I haven't watched "new" (read as in from 2000's) shows in a long time so the one thing I seem to agree with my self is thar I haven't watched it. And since I'm not recognizing faces and names... :-[

Clue 1: That's the same woman in the second and latest screenshot. She's one of the leads.
Clue 2: As you can see from the aspect ratio/image quality, it's a modern show.
Clue 3: As you can see from the fashions/hair styles, it's not set in the present.

I can see that - but the character design and setting predate the new Star Wars... :)
The show is on Netflix...

Snarky took my words, though I think it's not White Collar (cause I've seen the show and neither scene rings a bell... then again my memory isn't that good anyway (roll) )...

But I'm going to say The Last Tycoon, since he (the actor) has been in it (but I haven't seen it... someone else take the other show (laugh) ).
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: Sinitrena on Tue 01/05/2018 15:45:05
White Collar is correct. The episode is season 1 episode 8, Hard Sell.

(In pic two we have (left to right): Matt Bomer as Neal Caffrey, Justin Grace as Brad, Jonathan Tucker as Avery Phillips and in the background two extras whose names I can't find.)

I would agree to a limit as you don't want someone guessing every show that they can think of, but I think the limit should be 2 or 3, just because if you make a guess then you have to wait until the person give you a correct or wrong response before you can try another one.

Title: Re: What's on TV?

You know a lot of actors, specially tv actors, are in many many series as guest starts or secondary or even extras in 1 or 2 episodes... But you only "notice" them once they become a regular/main cast in a show that isn't cancelled before it gets a chance to live... So he's one of the main actors in Stargate: Atlantis... that's at least the first time I noticed he was "alive". (laugh)
His actors credits include 40 entries, mostly tv series and tv movies.

Title: Re: What's on TV?

LOL
That is mean, that is just shooting something and hope it sticks... well, that actor has been in several STs... though not Voyager Enterprise... there's a clue for you... and no, those two scenes are not traps, that is what the show is about, where and when... so I thought that would be a great clue right there. :)

EDIT: Oops... :-[ Was suppose to be "Not ST Enterprise"... tongue run into the truth.. (roll)
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: VampireWombat on Mon 14/05/2018 13:22:04
That could refer to Armin Shimerman, Jeffrey Combs, or even Brian Thompson. And those are just people I can think of off the top of my head...
I know it's not the 4400.
The 2nd picture makes me keep thinking of The Visitor, but I don't remember a beach...
But I'm guessing the Visitor (1997) anyway since it has Richard Cox in some episodes and he seems to have been in at least Star Trek TNG.
Title: Re: What's on TV?

Is it from a show set in the early 80s, but made in the late 90s?

And doing some investigating, I found that it is a Gremlin, but the paint job is wrong. So I know it's not from Freaks and Geeks as I thought.

I... think I know this one. And if I'm right, I rather watch other people guess than guess it.

So, I'm saying Westworld just to get that guess out of the way.

I am guessing Star Trek Next Generation.
I believe this was when Worf was in the holodeck with his son acting out a western fantasy.
If I am correct Worf is the one in back and his son is the one in brown walking away from the camera.
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: VampireWombat on Thu 24/05/2018 16:45:57
Data is the one in black. Alexander is the one walking away from him. Worf is the one in red with the vest. And Troi is in front of him.
Shame Data is only shown once. But I guess showing him in his multiple roles would have easily told people it was a Fistful of Datas.
I guess Worf and Alexander's haircuts really are as bad as I thought.

Short-lived '80's series riding on the coat-tails of the Indiana Jones movies. I remember it being quite fun but I was a kid at the time. I'd say it was probably more like extremely cheesey fun.

AUTOMAN!!!

(I missed the shot with Cursor in it because my browser didn't load it fast enough... Dead giveaway for sure!)

(I always wondered how Automan managed to turn his car on a gentle bend like on a country road seeing as it seemed he could only turn exactly 90 degrees... Did he have to bounce from one side of the road to the other like 50 times per turn? I remember a scene where he drove along a gently winding mountain road but they hid the turn behind a mountain in the foreground to avoid the problem.)

It sure is The Goodies!!! A huge part of my childhood!

That episode's name is "Kitten Kong" and also that clip was in the opening title of the show so anyone who knows the show should know the clip.

The show is well worth a watch by the way... It was kind of the "family-friendly" version of Monty Python and actually there was an episode where John Cleese popped out of a magic lamp and said "And now for something completely different..." and The Goodies said "Oh, sod off!!!" and he shouted "KID'S SHOW!!!" at them... Classic stuff!

I just watched an early Bewitched episode the other day where Darren first finds out that Samantha is immortal and won't grow older with him. Despite the fact that she probably should have mentioned this to him before they got married, it was actually a very deep and touching story: He goes to the park to think things over and an elderly couple walks by talking about the day they first met and the look on his face is quite touching... My memories of Bewitched was that it was just a formula show per episode: ACT I: Samantha (or her mother) uses magic which makes Darren's life difficult, ACT II: Their secret almost gets busted, ACT III: Everything gets fixed by magic just in time for nothing to have changed for the start of the next episode. Which is the way most of them go, but now and then they have an interesting and well-written twist...

Anyway, next:

Indeed!

It's from the mostly forgotten '80's attempted reboot of The Twilight Zone from the episode "A Little Peace And Quiet".

Well done! Just curious: How did you get it? Was it the movie names on the sign or have you actually seen it?

Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: Cassiebsg on Mon 11/06/2018 16:47:04
Just a lucky guess to be honest. The show is about "weird" events... and a rocket like that flying above on a US(?) land, sounded like "this is going to be something like holocaust or something"... I might have watch it, in fact 99,99% sure I have, but I don't remember either the episode nor the sign. (roll) My next guess would have been "The outer limits"... (laugh)

anyway, standby for the next one a little later. :)

Yay more Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt fans. It is season 4 though.
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: VampireWombat on Wed 13/06/2018 18:51:24
I'm not sure I'd go as far as fan. But I did watch all 4 seasons a couple of weeks ago. Not sure why I was thinking it was just 3 seasons...

I figure that the only other show I can think of with mole women would be guessed too easily. So, this one is borderline for working since it's technically a movie. But it did work as a pilot for a tv show...
It was re-edited as 2 episodes. So I guess it's not borderline after all.

Looking at it initially it reminds me of The Twilight Zone with the masks.
But then looking at the gizmo he is holding looks kinda like something from Flash Gordon but I dont think there was a TV show of flash gordon but there could have been a failed pilot.
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: VampireWombat on Wed 13/06/2018 19:45:26
Neither Twilight Zone nor the 1954 Flash Gordon tv series.
And to save some guesses, it's not the Outer Limits or any other anthology series either.

Superman?
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: VampireWombat on Thu 14/06/2018 13:36:38
That is correct. The Adventures of Superman, with George Reeves.
This movie is called Superman and the Mole-Men. And the thing they're carrying is apparently a prop made using a vacuum cleaner.
And the tv episodes were named The Unknown People: Part I & II.

You are correct.
I was surprised someone didn't recognize Kate Jackson in the picture with Jim Nabors and guess Charlie's Angels.
The Rookies was a good TV show about the 3 cops fresh out of the academy where the blonde one was married to Kate Jackson who worked as a nurse.
and the SC stood for South Central. They worked in LA.

Damnit! One of my favorite shows and beaten to it!

I haven't seen the episode that the first image is from though.

Favorites are the one where

Larry has the premature ejaculation issues and wears the condom with the desensitizing fluid inside-out by accident and then his wife can't feel anything...erm...down there for days.
Spoiler
"I never thought I'd say this to another man but... I want you to look at my wife's vagina."

That is not the Gorn that Kirk met nor the planet on which he met him. It looks more like the Gorn that appeared in a dream sequence from The Big Bang Theory, so I am thinking it might be a TV show that makes fun of sci-fi shows. so I kinda agree with ManicMatt's guess of mystery science theatre. perhaps mystery science theatre 3000.

Alf, vaguely... Alf was just a puppet most of the time.

The only improvement Aliens in the Family had over Dinosaurs is that the baby in it didn't sound like Elmo...

A.L.F. was a huge hit involving an alien living with a family of humans. The technical details aside, I'm sure it was mentioned at the pitch for this show.

Possibly. Of course My Favorite Martian, Bewitched, or dozens of other sitcoms could have been mentioned. It's not like it was that creative. Which is probably why it only lasted 2 episodes before being pulled...

I have had a few turns here recently. Mandle would you like to take my turn? If not open it up to anyone else. I only got it cause I recognized the alien. only saw maybe 2 of the episodes and just couldnt get into it. Dinosaurs was pretty good, and I liked ALF cause he was always so sarcastic.

HAHAHA!!! Annnnndddd just as I posted the previous post we have a winner!!!

It is indeed the "gin" still in The Swamp from M*A*S*H, well the third and final version of it after being twice destroyed in the show.

The first picture is actually a shot from The Smithsonian where the original prop is on display in a recreation of The Swamp set, also including other original props such as Hawkeye's red bathrobe.

Yeah, not an actual shot from the show but I thought it might be recognizable to a real fan and seeing as it was in a recreated set I used it.

Sorry about that, but there were no other clean, clear shots of the prop that I could find.

I decided to focus on the still itself because virtually any other character (and, yes, I would pretty much count the still as a character) or shot from the show would be instantly busted.

Over to dayowlron!

Nope. First Wave took place in the time period it aired. This is the "future".
I was hoping this last screenshot might have been useful since the blonde's brother was in one of the popular 90s high school shows and was a "heart throb".
She was in a handful of Melrose Place episodes while her twin brother played a main character on another similar show.
I was also kind of hoping someone might recognize the guy. But I guess the other show he was on was as obscure as this one...
I can't find any images of it from the show, but the Volkswagon "new beetle" was the official vehicle used.

Welcome to Paradox is correct.
The episode was called The Extra. The main character was played by a guy who also played a main character in the scifi series Space: Above And Beyond.
And the blonde female was played by Justine Priestley, Jason Priestley's twin sister.

Lost in Space and Happy Days really confuse me...
The video quality and setting is very different from either.
The hints and video quality tell me it's from the 70s and most likely not American.
Not being credited makes it difficult. But I'm guessing Play For Today since the episode he was in is the right time period and is called the Peddler.

Lost in Space and Happy Days really confuse me...

They were just random guesses.

Unless I'm getting it confused with Star Trek, I thought there were episodes of Lost In Space where they went to alternative Earths only to find out they were evil traps of some kind? Probably I'm wrong. Only saw both shows when I was a kid. (Yeah, I was a Star Wars kid and never liked Star Trek much. Plus they didn't air it much in Australia. Still don't by the looks of it.)

As for Happy Days: I glanced at the picture while at work without zooming and misread the boy's face as a young Richie and the other child as Joanie because of the hairstyle. I thought it might be some bizarre episode where they went on holiday or a dream sequence of something. Didn't really think it was correct. I was actually going to guess The Hardy Boys next but by then The Famous Five had been guessed and I suspected it was correct because of the more British-looking settings.

Plus, people often post up pictures on purpose that are misleading in setting, or otherwise, as a diversion.

By the way, you said video quality was so different. Apart from Cassie saying sorry for the quality of the shots, which could have meant the actual show had better quality IRL, you guessed from the quality that the show was from the 70s: "Happy Days is an American television sitcom that aired first-run from January 15, 1974..."

No real need to call people out for crazy guesses though is there? It could kind of make people feel like they are being told they are wasting everyone's time in a thread that's just for fun anyway, right? ;)

(Oh, and I don't mean specifically you, VampireWombat. It happens quite a bit in this thread. Maybe if we didn't do that newer AGS members would feel more comfortable to have a try instead of just the regulars who already feel pretty secure here in the forums?)
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: VampireWombat on Sat 21/07/2018 01:11:27
If there were any episodes of Lost in Space where they went to alternate Earths, I didn't see them at least. Which doesn't mean there weren't. For the most part the family was stuck on the same planet, unless that changed in later seasons.

It wasn't the video quality that told me it was the 70s, it was Cassie saying that it was the same time period as The Tomorrow People that told me that. But there's a specific look to most American tv up until maybe the 90s that these images just don't have. I don't know if it was the specific film used or what.  And I can't say that it's true for all non-American tv. It's just one of those things I can't quite explain. Kind of like how I can instantly tell a soap opera from any other kind of tv.

And I was just confused at how the images could make you think of either show is all. Not so much calling your guesses crazy. Anyway, sorry. I'll try to refrain from such in the future.

A big part of it is probably the difference in NTSC vs PAL encoding.

Oh, I had no idea about that. I wasn't living in Australia anymore by that point. Interesting.

But yeah, the show I was going for was Hey, Hey, It's Saturday.

For people who don't know the show which is probably like 95% of you: It started as a kid's Saturday morning show where the hosts introduced various cartoon shows and yet transformed eventually into a prime-time Saturday night variety show which was for many individuals and families the TV highlight of their week. Amazing success story!

To quote the movie "The Castle": "My dad reckons that the only show funnier than 'Hey, Hey, It's Saturday' is 'The Best Of Hey, Hey, It's Saturday.'"

He was! When the Zucker brothers approached him to appear in Airplane he told them "I think you have the wrong guy. I'm not a comedian." and they told him that the way the comedy was supposed to work couldn't be done by comedians. They needed the straightest-faced performances ever.

He told them that, in that case, he could do it.

And the parody movie genre was born.

I think the Zucker brothers didn't make all the Scary Movie series. I think they only made either 2 or 3, I forget which, but it was the one that combined The Matrix with The Ring and Sign and it was hilarious!!!

Even funnier than the actual movie is the Bonus Features on the DVD (same for Airplane too)!

Admittedly I didn't remember James Garner had been on it. And I couldn't remember if if John Ritter actually died or had been taken to a hospital and died shortly after.

Okay, this is from a show I thought of yesterday since an actor I saw in something I watched yesterday was also in this. And scifi fans might recognize this actor from something.

Since I hadn't heard of The Shooter until you mentioned it, nope.
The watched both the show that made me think of this and this show on Netflix.
And for those who haven't figured out who this actor is, it's Tom Wright. Who I first saw on Star Trek Voyager as Tuvix.
edit: I just checked, and it seems this show is no longer on Netflix...

It seems to be a collection of movies based on the theme of snipers but assembled under the blanket title of "The Shooter: Blah-blah-blah".

So I don't even know if it is an actual series or just presented as one here. It's on Fox Movies so you never know what lows they will sink to.

Firstly, isn't it just amazing that we live in a world where people have to second guess saying a person of a particular DNA profile looks like another person with a similar DNA profile look similar to each other must be worried about being thought a racist?!

Secondly, I don't think he was actually playing the role of Obama in the show and I didn't think he really looked like him, but now that you mention it I can see why you would say so. Probably the casting was due to this but I don't know 100%.

I'm pretty surprised that this show wasn't guessed instantly by this community as it is obviously just an adventure game brought to TV and must have been made by adventure game fans.

I think this is The Lost Room. That was a mini series that involved a Motel with a door that led to different places on Earth. It also had a bunch of items that all had some different power. It could work as an adventure game. But I don't remember anything about combining the items.

BINGO!!!

SPOILERS
Spoiler

About the motel: Kind of. "The Event" that happened at The Sunshine Motel in 1961 caused room 10 to vanish from reality to the point were nobody even remembered that it had existed. That's the reason why the motel looks weirdly cut off at the end of the row there. Visiting the site with The Undeveloped Polaroid object and looking at it while walking around allows a person to view the room through it.

The objects are all items that, it is assumed, were in the room at the time of The Event and all have powers, from the useless ones to the insanely powerful ones.

Combining the objects completely changes what they do. I think it was combining the scissors with the alarm clock that produces the power to evaporate solid metal into gas.

There is a video of what happened during "The Conway Configuration" (or something like that), where several items were combined at the motel site, that is truly terrifying!

It's a great miniseries, and only about 6 hours in total from start to finish.

A must-watch for adventure game fans!

You should watch The Good Fight immediately. We subscribed to CBS for Star Trek Discovery, and quickly abandoned it to binge Strange Angel and then The Good Fight. Then we started watching The Good Wife, which is good, but not as good as The Good Fight.

Yeah, I did a quick binge of The Good Fight this weekend, and man, this is 100% just a reboot of The Good Wife under a (slightly) different name and with a new scandal, isn't it?! Getting rid of the Florricks (and in particular their addiction to running for office, even if that means Eli is out too) to start fresh while keeping many of the best recurring characters is a good move.

That "cult" isn't called something like "The Kill Club" is it?

It just reminds me of the movie "The Dark Place" where there's a club of amatuer detectives, some of whom come in costumes and roleplay eccentric characters.

I know this is the TV thread but I thought the idea might have been borrowed for a TV show.

Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: Snarky on Tue 28/08/2018 12:26:56
Correct. I figured even if you didn't recognize Shawkat, you could make out the name "Chantal" on the conspiracy chart (aka "murder board!") and Google it.

Also, that's Parker Posey in the first cap (playing the Allison Mack role as the cult leader's right hand) and John Early (who's been in a ton of stuff recently) in the second, so I feel I was playing pretty fair.
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: VampireWombat on Tue 28/08/2018 12:51:59
Ah. Now that you say Parker Posey, I can kind of see that it's her. But by the angle and hair color I never would have thought of her on my own.
And looking at John Early's imdb, I can safely say I've never seen anything listed under actor.

Close. It has a few things in common with Andromeda. One of which is the actress in the last picture.
But Kevin Sorbo most definitely wasn't in the first image...

Nope, not V or any form of Stargate. But you're at least narrowing things down. This guy approves.

Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: VampireWombat on Thu 30/08/2018 13:06:08
Thought so. Even though like half of what I've seen him in he had some kind of prosthetic make up...
I guess the info you gave rules out Kindred: The Embraced or Moonlighting.
Otherworld?
Edit: Wait. You said one of, not the main character. And the more I look at the pictures in the back look like Cybill Shepherd.
It is Moonlighting, isn't it?

Hmm. Screenshots from a CBS affiliate from Dallas, Texas. It's most likely an American sitcom from between 1985 and 1999. Shame I never really watched sitcoms on CBS...
Edit: A bit of research tells me this probably aired between 1995 and 2000.
So, I'm guessing Picket Fences.

Being in Dallas Texas area I watch CBS-11 all the time, but I get the feeling the show was more like the 1980s. I don't recognize the actor shown in the second shot but I got to thinking the actor could have been a guest star and not a primary actor which got me to thinking that the house may not be the house from the show, but it could be a house that showed up for 1 episode.
I am going to guess Major Dad.
Title: Re: What's on TV?
Post by: VampireWombat on Wed 05/09/2018 16:37:56
To be honest, my guess of 1995-2000 is based on an ident timeline video I got when I looked up where the station was. 1995 is when the video showed a square behind the 11 and put The Eye of Texas...
I'm going to guess Bless This House, 1995 American version.

That makes a lot of sense and good detective work. I got here in the late 80s so don't remember when the logo changed or if it had always been like that. with that being said it could have been a rerun that the screenshot was taken from but I am starting to agree that it might be newer than I originally thought.

On a side note, no wonder I never saw Payne then. I doubt they would have run it on Australian TV. Fawlty Towers is one of the most beloved shows in Australia to this day. Along with M*A*S*H and Seinfeld it's often rerun over and over. If Aussies saw a bad remake there would probably be riots in the streets. (laugh)

Well, he was in both Hercules and Xena. Which is one of the connections. Another is that this specific episode was directed by an actor who was in episodes of both Hercules and Xena.

But no. Most definitely not Burn Notice.

Bruce Campbell is the main character of this show.

But I could be wrong. For the record, I think it's that show where all of the celebrities are impersonated by a guy in a mask. As for a name, I think it sounds something like "Bam Mofo" or something ridiculous like that.

I'm probably wrong though.

It's not that, but most of the characters in this show are played by the same three guys. The show is totally crazy.

I guessed this since the 2nd screenshot, though I was waiting to see if anyone else might have guessed it.
its The Drunk and On Drugs Happy Funtime Hour , very surreal sort of comedy with some of the cast of Trailer Park Boys.
I only discovered this myself about a month ago, never even knew it existed despite me being a big Trailer Park Boys fan.
Still a few episodes I need to watch, but the situational comedy / tone reminds me a lot of The League of Gentlemen, a UK comedy mini series.

Correct Creamy, well done.  One of my fave childhood animated series,  I think it was Japanese / french co produced, but I particularly liked the ancient Greek mythology mixed with sci-fi space theme. This series holds up very well today, the voice acting is really cheesy though, I suppose that's to be expected from an animated kids show from that era.

Don't know what this is, but I feel odd that this 'log across chasm with or without a waterfall behind' scene was replicated so many times (http://nzpetesmatteshot.blogspot.com/2018/03/jungle-trek-matte-painted-adventure.html).
Yeah I know this could be something very generic, but the composition, angle, etc. were almost identical in most of the cases. Maybe this is a homage to the original King Kong?

Nothing about it looks like Earth 2 to me. The vehicles are similar, but not quite right. And I don't remember anyone in Earth 2 wearing shorts. And looking deeper, I think the vehicles aren't military enough to be Terra Nova.

Yes, it's a Netflix series. It's a gritty reboot. It's definitely better than the movie. Depending on your level of nostalgia, it could even be considered better than the original series.

Sorry for abandoning this. VampireWombat is right. It's the Lost in Space reboot by Netflix. Not that gritty apart from two or three scenes. Still some kinda family show. But with amazing visuals. The 4K stream has been scifi paradise for me sometimes ;)

I'm trying to find pictures that tell you something about the show but that turns out to be rather difficult.

Well, I guess there's been enough time for other people to answer.
I have no doubt it's The Tenth Kingdom. Just look at the glare of John Larroquette's head as Tony and Wolf go to talk to the blind woodsman.

You are correct.   :grin:   So showing just the backs of Tony and Wolf didn't fool you.   :kiss:
My next picture was gonna be the Huntsman. 

I really love the opening for this:

Hmm, showing Rutger Hauer may or may not have made it easier for other people.
This image is from the first series I saw when I looked around a few minutes ago. The show aired on a channel that also aired a show that had Rutger Hauer in an episode.

It's Farscape. The episode is Taking The Stone. But Lexx is the show I was referring to with Rutger Hauer in an episode.
Alright, whoever wants is next apparently.

For all I know, it's possible. The screenshot is from an action-packed scene, so I assume a stunt double was involved and I'm sure stunt doubles double more than one actor. What I can say with absolute certainty is that Tom Cruise was not involved in the production of this show.

Well, OK, it is. (How specific!) It wasn't meant to be very hard; that's the female lead in full view too.
The show is basically Dexter except instead of a 30-something forensic tech in Miami he's a 20-something bookstore clerk in New York, and a stalker.

For example, Dexter is killing bad people (at least to start with).

Like Dexter (who I'm not sure was ever really "likeable") he has a kind of "moral code", and acts like a really nice person maybe 80-90% of the time. And when he does something bad, he always has some self-justification about how he's really just trying to protect someone or make them happy. But I think it's most of all about getting us as viewers invested in the sheer challenge of the thing: he's constantly put in these jams he has to get out of somehow, and you end up rooting for him on some level just because it's fun to see how he overcomes difficult obstacles. (Also a lot of the appeal of Breaking Bad, I think.)

Oh, plus another trick: fill out the role gallery with truly unlikeable supporting characters, so that he looks better by comparison and you don't mind so much when bad things happen to them.

Huh, now I really wonder why the first picture looked familiar.

Looking on imdb, I'm guessing the first picture is from Adam Ruins Conspiracy Theories and the last one is from Adam Ruins Having a Baby.

Yup, it's Adam Ruins Everything! I cropped the network's name in the first two screenshots to make it a little harder to guess.

The first screenshot is from Adam Ruins the Internet. The second is from Adam Ruins Immigration. You're right about the last one.

Post by: VampireWombat on Wed 05/06/2019 18:48:47
As I said, I don't really watch westerns. Since she looked familiar and the image quality is higher than anything before the 80s, it meant there were really only 2 options. And Brisco County Jr. seemed more likely than Westworld. Though now that I think about it, there was a tiny chance it could have been Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman...

I found Bonnie & Clyde by searching via actors that were in Top Of The Lake, and I thought the time period and fighting the police theme looked about right.

I think though it's an Australian show, given your previous hints so:

Wake In Fright?

And yes, you are right about location but not the show I'm after, yet. But at least now you have 4 actors in common... one is an extra that has actually been in this one episode and 18 more...  ;-D

After a snake bite, our cops day is still going down the hill... but at least he's in hospital now... and some faces for you.  :)

Ha! I didn't know that, but I definitely see the resemblance now.

And yes, Carnivale, of course. One of the weirdest and most fascinating oddities ever seen on TV, but of course it couldn't last and got cancelled by HBO after its second season. To be fair, the writing was kind of all over the place by then, but I'm still really fond of it anyway. And those opening credits! And the music! Oh, what I wouldn't give to get another season or two. Or a movie, seeing how well it worked with Deadwood...

I literally just realized why the woman in the 2nd picture looked familiar. She was Deb Lister in the Parallel Universe episode of Red Dwarf. And going to her imdb page confirms it since the top picture is obviously from this show.
But there's 53 credits for her and it doesn't list what the show the top picture is from. So, good luck to someone who wants to use that information.

I don't know if it didn't get good advertising, was on a bad night, or was just too weird for people. But I also think that what killed it was when things started to get too mundane. To me the best episodes were when the aliens went totally out of control, like the 2 musical episodes.

This series was a co-production between England and America at the start, but the last few episodes were America only. And the first episode is pretty much a mash up of American Werewolf in London and an earlier werewolf movie.

The actress who played the main character was in an episode of Tales from the Crypt and Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III the same year this series started. And the second to last episode was named based on a 1988 movie with Julia Roberts.

Still love the song!

Of course now I find one in higher quality...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3m7Xow0YxE

I also thought then, and now, that "met the greatest earthquake ever known" was not the correct verb. It should be "met with" or "encountered" but those would not have fit the stanza of the song. I like this extra cheesiness too though.

Sorry. I had no useful guesses. It's been over a decade since I've had TNT. And this looks like a procedural show. The few I watched were either on CBS or USA.
Though the woman with glasses from the image around this time yesterday looks vaguely familiar...

It's a comedy-horror-soap somewhat in the vein of Twin Peaks (with a pinch of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace). Although not made in English, the show was enough of a cult hit to be edited into a movie version for the UK and US, and later got an American remake.

This bit from the plot summary on Wikipedia (spoilers, obvs) cracked me up and gives a pretty good sense of what the show is like:

QuotePathologist Dr. Bondo attempts to convince the family of a man dying from liver cancer to donate his liver to the hospital for Bondo's research. (In fact, Bondo wants it as a trophy, as it is the second largest hepatosarcoma ever recorded.) When his request is denied, Bondo has the cancerous liver transplanted into his own body (as the patient signed an organ donor form), so that the cancer will become his personal property and can be kept within the hospital.

Well, 1970s or not, I do remember the Cylons destroying a planet full of Egyptian pyramids and temples, which looked suspiciously like Earth... :P

Also, that's a staple of old sci-fi shows! They always visit Earth-like planets, it's like a rule!

"Captain Kirk, according to my scanner, this planet looks just like 20th century Earth!"
"I agree, Mr. Spock. We should move to the next one, which is eerie similar to the Old West. It's not like we're making episodes based on available sets".

I think one problem is the subject of this thread is not clear enough. The movie and game ones have very clear subjects that they are games to guess a title.
But here, it could very well be mistaken for a place to discuss recent shows, though anyone who's been a member here for a while should know already what here is for.

Ah, Murphy Brown. I didn't realize it had been rebooted too. If I had realized Tyne Daly was in one of the pictures, I might have eventually guessed it. But I didn't realize who she was, just knew she looked vaguely familiar.

Done, but only the first post is changed atm, but I think replying to this thread will use the new subject now.

I'm not a global mod, and couldn't do this previously to boards I don't moderate.
It's been changed since some recent years that every mod can moderate the more general forums, but there seems to be some setting problems so I was not sure what can be done and what not until I tried.

All have been good guesses but thats not it either. Have a feeling no one has seen this show.

After not really enjoying it at first, I came around on this show (The vampire tribunal was brilliant!), and now I'm really digging season two.

Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: Snarky on Sat 30/05/2020 22:20:26
Correct.

Yeah, I went there for a conference five years ago, and spent a week seeing the country. (Took a Train to Busan and everything.) If this was filmed where I think, though…

(https://i.imgur.com/wghyyfs.jpg)

… It was just a few minutes' walk from the conference center, the royal tombs in Seonjeongneung Park in the Gangnam district of Seoul. (Yes, they did get Psy to… err, do a keynote speech at the conference.)

(https://i.imgur.com/KDIs5sy.jpg?1)

Admittedly it's quite possible that there are other tombs with roughly the same features elsewhere in Korea.

Interesting background story, Snarky.

Quite some years ago Stupot and Cat and I met up here in Japan and I took them to a bit of a secret cemetery on top of a mountain above a Korean shrine and the burial mounds they had there for their "founders" from hundreds of years ago (three in a row) looked just like the mounds in those pictures.

I looked up shows that Mr. T has made an appearance on (there are a LOT), then I took into consideration that he looks quite older in the picture than when he was on The A-Team, which narrowed it down but still not enough. Then I noticed the edge of the girl's head leaning into shot from the right edge of the first picture and realized that must be Amy.... errr... Blossom from the hair style.

It's so nice to see Korean tombs.  :-D

Koreans call it saanso(ì,°ì†Œ,山所) and it is a traditional Korean burial culture.
Usually there is only a tombstone. In the case of the king's tomb, there are more stone decorations.

Galen is correct! It is Good Omens.

All the screenshots are from the fifth episode. The first is Crowley's answer machine, the second is Crowley moving markers around where the M25 will eventually be, the third is Crowley driving to the bookshop (I've just realised I've picked very Crowley-centric images!) and the last one is the kids meeting up. I was going to post a picture of the Four Horsepersons next.

The Invisible Man?

Yeah... I have no clue. I only guessed Welcome to Paradox because it thought that somehow the VW Beetles released in the late 90s looked futuristic enough to use as is...

But I will keep guessing random Scifi Channel shows until I have something better to go on.

It’s Sense8 I think. Great show.

[Edit] It’s definitely Sense8. I suspected it from the third picture (the intro is full of Pride imagery) and now that I’m not looking at the screen in the sunlight I can tell that the 4th image is definitely the Indian woman and her husband. No idea where the 1st picture comes from, though.

Sense8 is really worth your time if you haven’t watched it yet. It’s a rollercoaster that I feel like I have never really got off.
Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: Kweepa on Mon 05/10/2020 19:49:10
Yep, it's Sense8, season 1 episode 9.
First shot is Riley descending into a cave in Iceland.
Second shot is Lito looking out over Mexico City.
And yes, that last shot is Kala & husband in Mumbai.
Just rewatched recently and still makes me very emotional at times!

Robin dies.  He shoots his last arrow into the air, then breaks his bow to show that he's ready.  Then they kill him.

Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: Snarky on Sat 19/12/2020 19:44:01
Yes, the show was called Hannibal. Which was also the first show featured in this thread, back on page 1.

CBS has just announced a new show called Clarice, which will follow Jody Foster's character from the movie.

Interestingly, the TV rights to Thomas Harris's books and characters ended up being split, so that NBC's Hannibal had the rights to use Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham (from Manhunter/Red Dragon) and most other characters/stories, but not anything that originally came from Silence of the Lambs, like Clarice Starling or Buffalo Bill. (They created close approximations as stand-ins instead.) And now Clarice won't be allowed to use Hannibal Lecter or anything from the other books.

Hah! Well, the program 'Noah's Island' is about a drifting volcanic island, and the polar bear Noah that finds it and becomes its captain. He assembles a crew out of all sorts of animals who come to the island after circus boat ship-wrecks and so forth.

One of captain Noah's merry men is a sort of Russian shrew called Sasha. His 'catch-phrase'?

'Hojski bojski!'

He said that at any opportunity, I seem to recall. And ended all his sentences with '-skij', I think. It was a long time ago. It may be different in English.

The art style looks like it was possibly animated in Japan in the late 70s/early 80s. And the setting would appear to be the US or Canada.

I'm pretty sure it's wrong, but the only thing I can find info on that checks all the boxes is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer/Tomu Sōyā no Bōken.

Monarch: The Big Bear of Tallac

It occurred to me that it resembled the Heidi anime, so I figured out it must be one of the World Masterpiece Theater productions by Nippon Animation. Edit: Actually it turns out I read the Wikipedia article wrong, and this was never part of that series, but it did the trick. (I didn't watch any of these shows as a child, but I was a big fan of Dogtanian from the same studio.)

Uh! I remember the comics of the Utraverse before it was taken by Marvel! Nightman was not one of my favourites... I'm surprised someone put him in a tv series!

You are correct. I watched it a little when it came on. And it's currently available on a tv app I have. I think I've watched maybe 5 minutes so far...

Even without the new image I know what this show is now. I watched the pilot last night. I would have watched it sooner, but I didn't know of a place I had access to more than the first 2 episodes before.

So, I assume there are no Firefly fans...

I like Firefly. I wouldn't call myself a mega huge fan like someone else I know, but I definitely enjoyed it. I'm not sure how this is related to Firefly though, unless it's also made by Josh Whedon. Dollhouse perhaps?

Not Firefly.

If this doesn't help then nothing will!

If no one gets it after this then I'll just give it away because it is such an amazingly good show! It released a couple months ago and is only 7 episodes in but already one of the best shows I've seen in years!

There are only 2 main characters? That certainly cuts out a lot of possible guesses from the list...

I can think of 3 or 4 hearing impaired actresses. All of which were on Switched at Birth at some point.
This one appears to be Marlee Matlin, which explains why there was a nagging feeling that she looked familiar.

I was pretty sure this wasn't Judging Amy, but that's the only show I currently can find that she was in that also aired on TNT...

Googling those two names together gives you a very strong option, Vampire.
Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: Snarky on Tue 06/04/2021 00:31:55
Well, they were both on The West Wing, but that's not it. And Matlin looks so different in that makeup that I didn't recognize her.

I'm almost positive this is not it, but it has some of the vibes of Murder One (which seems to have been largely forgotten; one of the first showsâ€"following Twin Peaksâ€"to revolve entirely around a season-long mystery).
Title: Re: Guess the TV show

Poor Gordon. Crash lands on earth, with most of his planet blown up. And the family doesn't even ask if he has a name, just classifying him as an Alien Life Form and calling him Alf. Even after he tells them his name, which happens to be quite easily pronounced by English speakers, and is even a fairly common name in America...

TLDR: Alf

If it is what I believe it is:
One of the best TV Series I ever watched on ARTE TV.
I recommended it to a couple of friends, and to my surprise some of
them didn't like it at all.
I found it overwhelming.
Since I don't have an idea about a follower, I leave it to somebody else,
not without recommending it.
Thanks Laura for bringing this back to my mind !

I'm sure it's the one you're thinking about  :) If nobody gets it in a few screenshots please feel free to take your guess!

Absolutely not :-D

Doesn't look like Twin Peaks. AHS would be a bit more obvious, I think. Penny Dreadful maybe?

Just a slight nudge:
The actress in screenshot#2 is Geraldine Chaplin
It was actually a mini-series, probably not seen much outside of
France/Belgium/Germany

Laura,

I can only write from my smartphone
Here is another hint:
The story takes place in Antwerp, Belgium,
well, at least parts of it
I will check the board and think of a follow-up theme

Ok, here's the solution :

The series is called " Au delà les murs" (Behind the walls).
It was shown on ARTE TV, my favourite TV channel WITHOUT commercials :-)

I loved it, just judge for yourself.
Found a link to all three episodes, maybe there are better links than these, but better than nothing.

Genereal description :

I will come up with a follower shortly, already have one in mind from the same channel,
will take me some time to find it.

Hope you enjoy watching it, i found it fanastic.
Thanks again Laura for bringing this back to my mind !

Oh, wow! Probably because I have only watched the first episode so this image, or one very like it, stuck in my mind. I believe this is the opening scene of the first episode of a gloomy bog and suddenly a monster comes shooting up out of the water and we see that a man is fighting it. It was a visually impressive image that pulled me in. Unfortunately the rest of the episode didn't hold my attention quite as well and I never continued watching. I may go back to it at some point though.

I was watching a video talking about how badly the Eternals is doing on Rotten Tomatoes and suddenly was reminded I forgot to check about this. (Both being comic book related).

Guess it's time to look up Brandon Routh so I can find the proper name. Which is... DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

You are correct. I like that they have taken characters that didn't have significant roles in the other series, slapped them in a time machine and let humour do much of the writing. You're up next.
Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: VampireWombat on Thu 04/11/2021 13:28:04
I liked the casting. Taking the guy who played Superman in a failed movie and making him basically the same character, but with less powers. Taking a guy from Doctor Who and making him play the guy with the time machine. And of course taking the two brothers from Prison Break to be the only ones with any kind of prior relationship.

I have nothing profound. So, this is purely due to looking around and seeing the first dvd with a tv series. I think the guy in the suit is one of the two leads.

Alright, since no one's guessing titles, here's a rundown of hints:

Ramón Estevez(Martin Sheen) was around the same age Emilio Estevez currently is.
Michael Easton played the main character.
The series is scifi/cyberpunk.
The series aired on Showtime in the US.
David Warner was in a couple of episodes.

New information:
The name of the series is similar to the name of a movie from the early 90s and vaguely takes place in the same world.

Your turn!

I was living in the US when TGAH aired, so unfortunately it's etched in my brain forever together with stuff like The Dukes of Hazzard (ugh). But hey, not everything was awful. This was also from the same period and it still holds up pretty well today:

Again, pretty easy if you've watched it, I guess!

Hill Street Blues?

Either that or... the other one from that time with a 4-letter acronym that I get mixed up with it, but I'll got with my gut as it has grown bigger than my brain during the pandemic.

Oh, and I also instantly knew The Greatest American Hero one. My reply of "How's this for a scenario?" was Bill's catchphrase from the show.

I also loved the little detail that they go into hiding in an FBI safehouse early on in the show and Bill does the food shopping. He buys dog biscuits by accident, thinking they are for humans. It's pointed out to him that they are for dogs but he tries one anyway and shrugs and finishes it off.

Then, often in later episodes you can see him pop one of the bone-shaped snacks into his mouth now and then. It is never mentioned by another character. They just seem used to it. But it is a great little easter egg that eating the dog biscuits became a habit for him after that first one.

Nice character building.

Loved 15 storeys high, wish Sean Lock made more series like that. One of my favorite comedians and probably the only one of the more recent celebrity deaths that really made me cry.
Benedict Wong is one of the actors that makes me cheer up immediately wherever I see him. When he popped up in Toast of Tinseltown I almost pissed myself.

That's what makes it so amazing though :-D And the music choices were such a huge part of the unsettling, dreamy, unreal atmosphere! Really a one-of-a-kind series.

I'm going to go with another bizarre, off-the-wall show. Probably an easy guess for anybody who's watched even one episode:

I dunno the show, but I'm also pretty sure I don't wanna know what happens when the little girl takes her hands away. Something about this shot is just off-putting. It's a miniature set? Even if I go to full-size it's very hard to tell. If it's a miniature it's incredibly good!

Not quite a miniature, but I read that the adult puppets are around 25 cm, which is about the standard size for stop-motion I guess?

Here's another shot:

You are correct. I watched the series, available free on YouTube, recently and it was a wonderful journey of just them finally doing the worst (meaning best) non-PC humour and also quite a well tied-up plot for a murder mystery.

Yeah, Brain Candy was tame compared to the stuff they do in this show. Not for the faint-hearted!

No to both, but you guys are in exactly the right era (early 90s tv). It’s actually pretty hard to find screenshots of this tv show, so I’ll share a hint: the girl wasn’t a regular on the show. The guy is a main character but he wasn’t usually in a tie.

Severance imo was nice, until the last two episodes of the season. It has the foreboding vibes of shows like Westworld and Lost, where it soon became apparent that the writers made stuff up as they went along. Let's see how season2 does.

I liked it best when it was doing comedic satire, like Mark's "customer service script" in the first episode, or any scene with his brother-in-law, Ricken. All the sinister conspiracy shenanigans felt a bit rote to me. Like, of course the mysterious corporation is doing something nefarious. You don't even really need to know what it is, you just know they should be stopped.

I guess I'll sit this one out so it's not just back and forth. I had a suspicion after the third shot, and this last one confirmed it.

Instead I'll throw in the guess I had after the first shot; the intensely stupid Danish serial killer drama from Netflix, The Chestnut Man.

There is a Westworld TV series, but no, this isn't from that.
It's not American Horror Story either.

(https://twentyquidamusements.thecomicstrip.org/files/guess_the_movie/aved5.png)

So far, all of the images I've been showing are from episode one. There were a total of three seasons before it came to an end.
Also it's part of a somewhat popular franchise, which includes movies, games, and comics. (nod)

I thought that last screenshot would've given it away, since you have a good shot of the main character. Hopefully this one (also of the main character) will help.  :-D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8-8OWZujwA

Plot (slightly spoilery, copied from Wikipedia):

Spoiler
Ten years ago before the events of the series, a spatial anomaly which became known as "Heaven's Gate" appeared in South America. It was followed by the opening of "Hell's Gate" in Tokyo, altering the sky and wreaking havoc on the landscape. At that time, "Contractors", people with special abilities, capable of supernatural feats, emerged. Kept secret from the public, Contractors murder in cold blood and block their emotions with logic and reason. Their abilities are acquired at the cost of their humanity, and their name derives from the requirement to "pay the price" each time their powers are used. Nations and organizations around the world train and use Contractors as spies and assassins, resulting in violent battles for valuable objects and information.

After the 'Heaven's War', the United States loses its position as a superpower to a mysterious organization known as the Syndicate. Darker Than Black follows a Chinese Contractor code-named "Hei" as he undertakes espionage and assassination missions in Tokyo directed by the Syndicate. In his false civilian life, where he is known as shy a student under the alias Li Shenshun, Hei is assisted by Yin, an artificial human known as Doll and Mao, a Contractor trapped in a cat's body and overseen by former police officer Huang. The series has a villain-of-the-week format, with a variety of characters such as a Japanese Public Security Bureau who oversee the activities of dangerous people with supernatural powers.

But what not everybody may know is that this is just the latest in a series of shows that originally spun off from another series...

Oh, bummer. I guess I don't watch enough tv.

Snarky, you have it. (Or I can try to come up with something else. Your choice.)

No, it's fine. We've probably had close to a thousand entries in the thread so far, and I only remember this one because it was one of mine.

This one might be a little tricky, so to speed it up I'll do two screens at a time:

I guess it must be An Affair at Styles (or something like that).  ;)
Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: Snarky on Mon 07/11/2022 11:34:16
La mystérieuse affaire de Styles is the name of the episode, yes – it is very loosely based on the book – but the series has a different name. Should not be hard to find out at this point.

Hercule Poirot  (wrong)
Haven't seen the episode, maybe it is a flashback and Poirot is played by another actor. Either way, can't say it looks good :D

I don't know it :/ But It seems to be the derivative of a scifi, and in that case, since scifi series are all defined as f(x)=x^π, this should be πx^π-1

As an afficianado of time travel media, I can say "Travellers".

The initial shot just had me in a blur of all those low budget streaming sci-fi shows, but I remember the characters shown in the second shot

That's absolutely correct! I thought of the show due to some comments in the AI thread. I liked this series a lot, both the premise and the cast fell to my liking. I didn't get to post the more obvious shots, including the team leader before you nailed it.

Babar has it. I'm half expecting another time travel show now!  :)

Yes, good show, and a great solution to doing sci-fi on a low budget. (Continuum is another Canadian show with a similar time-traveler premise, but I couldn't get into it.)

Quick, into the time machine! You need to post it before he mentions it!  :-D

I don't know the show you're posting now, so I'll just go slightly off-topic to mention my favourite Batman time travel line: [offtopic]Justice League is stranded in prehistoric times with a broken time machine. All the powerful heroes stand around doing nothing while Batman makes use of a soldering iron to fix it.
Superman: Hurry up! He's getting away!
Batman: (pause) It's a time machine.

Cracks me up when I think of it.[/offtopic]

Nope, but it does share a vibe and is from a similar era.

Nope, but it is closer to the time this show aired (and also somewhat shares the vibe).

Well, that's Garret Dillahunt. From his credits, I learn that he was in several shows from that era that sound like they could fit the bill, like Leap Years and Millennium (as well as X-Files itself), but based off the last shot I will guess Seven Days, episode "The Gettysburg Virus."
Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: Babar on Mon 19/12/2022 17:43:17
Figured that having him on the screen would help. You can even see the two main protagonists of the show in the background.

You're absolutely right, Snarky! Another fun time-travelly show.
Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: Snarky on Mon 19/12/2022 18:56:49
Always happy to see Dillahunt pop up, he has a fun energy. In fact, let's stick with him, in a show that also has another connection to the previous:

I have almost certainly seen this specific scene, and considering your mention of a 'connection', even though it doesn't fit at all with the shot (although it does more with the second), I'm going to guess: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: Snarky on Tue 20/12/2022 17:28:32
Yep yep yep. Another time-travel show, with Dillahunt in the (T1) Arnold-analogue role. I suspect the fantasy movie playing on TV (his Terminator character takes on the identity of a B-movie actor) is in part a wink at Conan.

As I recall it was surprisingly decent.
Title: Re: Guess the TV show
Post by: Babar on Wed 21/12/2022 03:07:58
It was, and I was sad it ended up going off the rails (I think Garbage ended up being a terminator?) and then being cancelled.
Still got a few time travel shows up my sleeve, but someone else can take my turn for now.

Oh wow, I was way off! I somehow got it into my head that it was a sitcom I vaguely recalled about two tacky (Florida?) women, and I was trying to remember the name of it.

It's GLOW, of course. Good show!

(If someone else wants to have a go, you can take my turn, so it's not just a back-and-forth.)
