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)
That'd be cool :) I thought this already happens with posting guesses. You know thinking loudly.
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
Lol wrong title, season but close episode :P
When you say "What's on TV now", are we just doing TV shows in general, or is that literally what you were watching at the time?
Sherlock?
Heroes?
Evil Dead: Killer Luggage Edition.
DOOM: S02E03 VICTIM'S ASS LOCKON EPISODE
This game feels like it could be really bad for spoilers so I think I might avoid it...

Correct!
Your turn Kumpel, if you want to guess the season/episode it'd be extra bonus, unless you want me to.
For now, you can post your new screenshot (nod)
I would need more screenys for guessing the right episode. And I want that :=

Ahh I only saw season 1 of Hannibal and I don't recognise any of this so I'm guessibg it's later than that?
Yes it's not season 1
season 2, episode 5?
Right season, wrong episode.. close though ;)
s2. ep3?
Nope.. far
s2, e6 ?
(wrong)
Season 2, episode 10.
Nope.
S02E01?
Season 2, episode 18.
Well depending on what happens next... is it the series finale?
(How much is Google banned? For example, I wouldn't mind checking how many episodes are in Season 3, so that I could say the episode number instead of just 'finale')
S02E13? (wtf)
@Stupot+: That's my guess too. But I don't know why he said s02e05 would be close (wtf)
s02e11

Hannibal's seasons are 13 episodes only.

That's Gurok's Maths for you. No wonder he sucks at Calculus!
Season 2, episode 4.
5 is very close to 15. I was thinking laterally.

You did! :P
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54952.msg636564383#msg636564383
lol ok fair enough!
but I was referring to when you guessed ep.5 :)
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Wed 28/06/2017 16:48:54
season 2, episode 5?
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?
Gee papa, it's only one single guess to judge ;)
Hope it gets better for your consideration later :P
Same action.
The right show guesser gets to choose if the episode should be guessed too:
That looks like Stargate, but I don't have a clue to which season or episode.
Season 1 Episode 5?
QuoteThat looks like Stargate
I need the complete name of the show as there are several in this franchise. (roll)

Season 1 Episode 5?
Pretty close!

I only know about SG1. And this looks too modern to be that. (Is my helpful contribution)

Hope it gets better for your consideration later :P
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!)
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.
I agree with Stupot... (nod)
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:
When i answered with the title name, it was a stargate thing since i know this specific season by titles not numbers since some of the titles have more than 1 episode. Is this water?
Yes it is. Back to you!
Nothing in mind now! If anyone wants to jump in please do :)
Oh well..
wild guess as i have never seen it: Sense8?
Nope
Humans?
Correct Gurok;-D
If you wanna guess the episode go ahead..
anyway your turn :-D
Ummm... series 1, episode 1?
series 1 correct.
episode 1 VERY close ;) ..not your way of close though (laugh)
maybe this sandwich could refresh your memory:
Series 1, Episode 2?
Yep, you got it stu :)
Okay. Here's one:
Doctor Who?
11.22.63?
Quote from: Kumpel on Tue 04/07/2017 11:38:34

Ding Dong. Care to have a shot at the
president episode?
I rushed through this one with several naps :P
Gimme another picture and I'll try to remember it.
Just for you
Bump! You there Kumpel? Anyone wanna guess the episode (only 8 to choose from) or just throw out a new screenie?
Episode 4.
Not ep 4, but close.
E5 then 😀
Quote from: Kumpel on Thu 06/07/2017 10:25:21
E5 then 😀
Yeah, Ep 5 called The Truth because it's the one where Jake tells Sadie the truth.
I'm currently reading the book. Pretty good , so far.
I forgot we wanted the titles.
Quote from: Kumpel on Thu 06/07/2017 09:25:29
Episodes?
Season 2
The episode where they wanted to reduce Matt's role.. :P
Episode 2?
Edit: for stu..
I'm not even seeing s picture. Or is that the point?
What about now?
Episodes is right. Wannenabplatzer guess the right title and perhaps the season?
Season 2 Episode Four?
Very good!
Warehouse 13?
Nope
Dexter? (though I don't remember him using green gloves... (roll))
Wrong (wrong)
Here's another screeny:
American Horror Story?
No..
The Expanse?
Wrong.
X files?
Fringe?
Nope
no
Almost Human?
(Never seen it)
Nope.
Clue:
Spoiler
the show is about creatures that are almost humans (laugh)
Once Upon A Time?
(Never seen it)
(wrong)
The Strain?
Correct!
If you wanna guess the season and/or episode go ahead..
Or just post a new screenshot (nod)
I've only seen season 1 and I don't recognise the scenes, so I'm guessing season 2.
Good thinking ;) you landed on the wrong season though :P
Shall we have a new one?
I've cropped it a bit to make it less obvious.
If you're familiar with the show you should have a rough idea what episode this is. Certainly season.
For the record, it was The Strain season 3 episode 6 (nod)
This is a tough one.. hmm.. Breaking Bad?
Not BB
Have another clue:
I am getting a Bates Motel feeling but I have no idea which season this would be. But I guess this is wrong, so NO CLUE.
nope
Is it a CW show perhaps?
nope
True Blood?
Vampire Diaries?
Fargo?
nope
nope
nope
I'll post another pic in due course.
Falling skies?
Can we have another shot please? (roll)
Oh yeah. Sorry.
...aaaaand it got harder (laugh)
She's starting to get more familiar.
I'm trying to keep it so that anyone who watches the show should be able to recognise it, and it's a pretty big scene that should help identify the episode.
Homeland?
Yep!
I guess it is season 3 or 4 ...
Season 4 :cheesy: You familiar with the show? If so, wanna crack at the episode? Even if it's just "The one where..."
Otherwise, it's your turn to post :-)
I love it. Even the weaker season are pretty awesome television.
That's the "life of pi" actor!
So this must be EP 4
Not ep 4. Who's the guy in the other pictures?
Spoiler
Nicholas Brody aka Damian Lewis? 8-0
The strange E7? But I thought the pi boy character has already been dead at this point of the series... (wtf)
Yep, it is episode 7.
Spoiler
but I think you're confusing the actor in the 3rd picture. That's the Pakistani counter-terrorism guy, Asar Khan. The kid from Life of Pi , Ibrahim, was in it but yeah, he was killed off before this episode I think.
Too dark to see this properly :P
My turn:
Last episode of Alias :)
Someone else take my turn please.
Assuming Superkumi is right... who knows what this is from? :wink:

No idea.
But if anyone's interested, that sign says æ•´ç†整頓 (seiri seiton) roughly 'Keep tidy and in order' and 今æÅ"ˆã®ã‹ãÂ݋Ž高 (kongetsu no kasegitaka) is "This month's earnings"

Arale Goes to School!. Your turn.
I'm actually ashamed I didn't guess the episode and millisecond :-[
I watched Arale when I was a kid and I still do (laugh)
This is my gift for you all:
Mechaniko! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQzTmeKMUvE)
then guess this:
Trailer Park Boys?
Nein
inspector gadget?
Nope, and I just had to double check whether your profile pic is winking at me or I need to sleep :-[
You guys need to sleep more because I hear that a lot :D Stop eating mushies :P
that's odd, didn't you have a coffee wink thing? I don't see it anymore?, just a blank space under your name
Next clue..
Uhm... seems sci-fi, yet says me anything... :-[
Twilight zone?
Nope
Hmmm, that pic does indeed scream sci-fi. And I think I recognise that guy's head and top of the uniform.
Star Trek: Next Generation?
Wrong :P
If not Twilight Zone, then: The Outer Limits?
No
That looks incredibly familiar.
Um... 4th Planet From The Sun?
Star Gate?
All wrong.
Wrong direction too :-\
i was also thinking twilight zone or outer limits, but the screenshot looks too modern/widescreen/clear.. so my other suggestion of tales from the cyrpt is most likely wrong... I haven't watched any of the modern-ish dr.who's in many years so I will say dr.who
No..
I have a feeling that it might not be sci-fi, and be a funny show instead. No idea what it is though.
No idea here either but if you take away the cocoon thing, that second picture looks just like a daytime American drama or soap opera.
Power Rangers?
All wrong..
Another clue:
Is it The Good Place?
Correct! It is The good Place, and since there's only one season if you want to guess the episode (even by saying the one that...) be my guest!
Otherwise it's your turn (laugh)
Oh, never seen that but it looks like something I should check out.
I'd have to check, but I think it's episode 12~13...
Anyhow, here is mine:
The Good Place Episode 12 is correct.
I have no idea what your show is, I know Hannibal has a deer that shows up in weird places, but this looks comedy.
Wilfred?
Thete were random deers in Leftovers but I only saw season 1 and I don't remember them appearing in any mirrors. But maybe later season Leftovers?
The other thing that springs to mind is Northern Exposure. That featured a moose in the credits but, again, I'm not sure if one ever appeared in a mirror.
Definitely not Hannibal.
And yeah, it is comedy.
Another screeny? ???
Sorry for the double post.
Ok... how about this screeny? does this help?
No idea...
Weird Science?
No, it's newer. The second season is airing right now.
If these images don't give it away, I don't really know what else to post:
People of Earth ?
EDIT: Okay, after checking IMDB I know it is. :-D No idea ep or season though....
Yes it is! Your turn Cassie!
If it's not showing, let me know. it's on imgur.
I've seen this somewhere... :-\
can't remember!
Let's go with the bikes...
Renegade?
Sons of Anarchy?
Supernatural?
AnasAbdin got it. (nod)
(and I even tried to not get an obvious one (laugh) ).
Edit: For reference, it was Season 10 Episode 20 - Angel Heart. It's just laying there on my "to watch" list. (roll)
I knew I've seen it before! I can't guess what season exactly not to mention the episode :-[
Here's a new one:
Time Commanders?
Brothers of arm or that kinda mini serie? Or call of duty gameplay
Wrong.
X-Files? (laugh)
Doctor Who?
Wrong.
Another screeny:
Utopia? Black Mirror?
Nope.
Humans?
Nope.
Being Human
Nope, doesn't have the word human at all.
Not a sci fi too.
Eastenders?
Nope
new screeny please :)
Hannibal?
Nein
Dexter?
Nope.
Silent Witness?
Nope
Criminal Justice?
Nay..
Another "hopefully obvious" screeny..
Law & Order: UK ?

No idea? (laugh)
(wrong)

Ok, I think I recognize Gwendoline Christie in this screenshot, in which case imdb tells me this is
(Hiding it because I don't know if we allow imdb in this thread and in case someone else wants to solve without outside help.)
Spoiler
Top of the Lake
a show I've never heard of.
Correct (nod)
Top of the lake, season 2 episode 5.

Alright, next one:
Never seen the TV show apart from a few trailers and clips, but this screen gives me strong Sleepy Hollow vibes.
I see why you get this vibe, but no, it's not Sleepy Hollow.
Vikings?
Nope.
Great Expectations?
Turn?
Outlander?
Deadwood?
Turn: Washington's Spies it is. To be honest, I did not expect anyone to recognize it from this pic. Well done, Kumple, your turn. (Wanna have a stab at the episode number?)
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.

Stranger Things?
nope nope nope. think more 99 red balloons...
Nena?
Deutschland 83?
That's the one. I forgot to specialize on one episode. So Sinitrena, if you wanna guess one of the three episodes I posted... ^^
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 ;)
New screeny:

Spoiler
The show is exclusive to a streaming service, as far as I know. It certainly limits the possibilities ;)
Scream?
(wrong)
The Path?
Desperate Housewives?
Weird Science?
No, no and no.
The age of the characters tells you something about the intended viewership.
Middle-aged former BBC disk jockeys and TV presenters?
Of course! Just add Magic! Never seen it though but I recognized the actresses from the show's title picture...
Is it something to watch with my daughter in a few years? :D
Funnily enough when I first saw that I thought of The Craft but a) wasn't sure if they're making a Craft TV show and b) the girls look too young.
A Craft TV show would be awesome (I bet someone in LA is already thinking of it).
Jumped, Is that Alias or something?
No Jennifer Garner in this little gem :)

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.

Spoiler
The main character is hidden behind that dude
Dark Angel?

No chance. The last time I watched the show was when it first came out.
Reign?
No.
Legend of the Seeker?
Game of Thrones?
Neither.
Blacklist Redemption?
or Patriot?
or Secrets and Lies?
Outlander?
Lost?
DaVinci's Demons?
Kumpel, do we share a watchlist? ;) Da Vinci's Demons is correct. Do you want to guess the episode?
Yeah. CREEPY AS HELL. Been out of it for years so it would be blind guessing. But it gotta be season one as I have seen only that completely and remember those pictures.
Haven't watched western TV shows for ages, but that actor looks a bit like Lucifer to me, at least from the TV Ad that I've seen.
Not that I'm any good in recognising faces.

American Horror Story or maybe Twin Peaks?
Nope.
The Omen
Damien
How about another screenshot?
2nd screeny:
Just because it's the only show I know that has a ballet theme:
Flesh and Blood?
Nope! You've been tricked (laugh)
I knew it.
Let's get to more muddy waters:
Black Mirror?
Twilight Zone (Reboot)?
Nope and no.
"Case"? I believe the first episode involved a ballet stage.
Nope. The ballet is a misleading shot :P some of the stars of the show attended a ballet in this episode, that's all.
Bones?
Angel?
No. No.

it's a Netflix production.

Nope.
Sense8?
HanaIndiana you are correct! If you wanna guess the season/episode be my guest :-D
Otherwise you can post your next screenshot 8-)
Unfortunately I've know the answer to this since before you mentioned Netflix - because I cheated.
Bring on a new round. I won't cheat this time.
Nice! I've only seen a couple episodes, but it had that "look".
This one should be quick :grin: I just watched the last episode yesterday.
The Tick?
Spoooon! I mean, nope.
Here's a pic with the news headline left in...

I dunno but I bet it reeks under there.
Elementary perhaps?
No. As a hint, it's from the latest episode, which aired this week:

Yes, it is, and yes it is.

Did you watch it, or did you recognise David Boreanaz's back? :tongue:
Haha. Interesting. The guy in Angel is the guy from Bones, so I should get like 10% of the point for that round :-D
But he wasn't a reformed evil vamp with a tortured soul suffering for eternity, in Bones. :tongue:

Season 1 - episode 19 I think.
Yep, the episode is Sanctuary. One of the best TV programmes ever made! :grin:
Did you watch it, or did you recognise David Boreanaz's back? :tongue:
Of course I watched it (I love that show). But I recognised it because of Eliza Dushku not because of David Boreanaz. (laugh)

I don't think I've seen a cartoon series on this yet.
Ed, Edd & Eddy?
Jon, John and Johnny
Don't think I know this cartoon, but that cartoon technic looks very familiar... can't put my finger on it though. :-\

EDIT:
Hint time.
The first episode aired in 2011, the last episode aired in 2013.
Never heard of it. "Dan vs."
What about this one :)

That's it!
You got it!
Yay!
It was a really good show. I highly recommend it.
How did you manage to find it?
I googled "Cartoon tv show from 2011", found a wiki site and looked for the one that has been cancelled 2013 :=
maybe this helps?

It might, but we can't see the link. Looks like you need to be logged into your dropbox account to view it.
Oops. I'll edit this later. Someone wanna jump in in the meantime?
How about this?
Atlanta
Correct
That sort of looks like Pablo Schreiber, but he doesn't seem to be in any likely candidates. (Obviously it's not American Gods.)
GLOW?
Not GLOW
Hint
Spoiler
That is indeed Pablo Schreiber! Good Eye, Snarky!
I've only seen him in one thing, so I'll guess that. Orange is the New Black?
No Ladies in Orange in this one :(
C'mon guys!
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia?
Nope.
A hint:
Spoiler
it's a show from 2011
Light Out, that last hint gave it away.

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:
This was going to be my next screenshot (https://i.imgur.com/mZuJ9Es.png) - 2 of the more well-known characters, and my favourite Eldorado couple. :cheesy:

Sorry folks. My bad. Does someone want to jump in with a new one?
Sure!
Portlandia? One of the "man" skits? Not sure which episode. Not even sure if it's Portlandia.
You got it Gurok! Portlandia is right.
Yay. Also, I love that everyone gets equally ribbed on Portlandia.
Bored to death?
Love this show! That's "The Good Place"! The actress who plays Janet must have the best time.
Yep, it's the Good Place. I love Janet. She's the best character of the lot. Ted Danson also carries the show a fair bit.
Wow, guess it's over to you again, Hana!
Oh man I'm late...

No, man. It's a show that premiered this week.
The only show I know that's started in the last week or so is The Punisher. And this doesn't look like that.
No (and AFAICT that premiered
last week), but they're technically connected...
Runaways.
Yes indeed.
I haven't seen it, but the group shot gave it away :)
Another clue...
No guesses?
This lasted three seasons and was cancelled last year.
Tyrant?
Yep, that's it!
Your turn.
Prince Of Atlantis?
No
Thunder Cats?
nah. It's not very popular and for sure not for those fans of the franchise it is a part of. Like the weird little 3rd grade cousin in the family
That weird Ewoks cartoon?
*pokes Kumpel* :tongue:
No Ewoks. :(
That short lived Thunder Cats reboot? ???
Ben 10? ???
Nope. It was indeed shortlived. Although the franchise is very sucessful for almost 2 decades and will extend in a few months once more
Last picture before I will reveal it.
That first picture looked like some kind of underwater Atlantean world with mutant fish-people. :shocked:

It's not The West Wing? That blurry little guy looks vaguely like Bradley Whitford.
You are wrong. It IS the West Wing!
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?
Near-past, and nope.
Here's another screen:

But it is a clue that this is a Scandinavian TV show?
No. It's just currently available to stream from NRK.
Shoot in the dark, just based on your "clues"...
The Bureau?
Correct! Le Bureau des Legendes with Mathieu Kassovitz. Good show, similar to the classic The Sandbaggers, or a less sensationalistic Homeland.
Wow... somehow those cops reminded me more of a British show than a French, but the other two pics seems to fit the theme better... (roll)
Anyway, next one... hope it's not too easy (probably is if you watch it though... in that case I want the episode name/number/plot... (laugh) ).
PS: Remember that google image searching is banned!
Not yet seen but Westworld, right?
Uhm, no...
New pic then:
I thought maybe it might be Wynonna Earp (which I don't watch), but from online screenshots it doesn't really look right. Still, that?
Not Wynonna Earp either. (wrong)
The Lone Ranger?
LOL (wrong)
EDIT: Now take the chance to study a front walk cycle. (laugh)
I didn't recognise the first screenshot, but the 2nd & 3rd shots are easy.
It's The Murdoch Mysteries, starring Yannock Bisson :grin:
Love that programme.
Finally! :) I love it too. (nod)
You go!
(maybe you haven't seen that season with the masked guy? Cause I'm pretty sure you would if you had seen it. It's from S10Ep9)
There are a few Murdoch episodes I haven't seen, cos my V+ box decided not to record them (stupid V+ box!)
Love how Murdoch invents things that we take for granted today. :wink:
Anyway, here's the next shot. A VERY under-rated series.
Reservoir Pigs

And even more heartbroken that Rosie & Villa never got together!!! :cry::cry::cry::cry:
Never got to see the whole thing. got stuck somewhere in season 1 and when I wanted to continue I noticed it has been cancelled already and lost interest :-[

One of the two Anne of Green Gables series that have recently come out? (One of them was called 'Anne with an E'.)

Not really. I recognized it because of the cow and the frosted glass windows behind suggesting some kind of "office" locale and remembered that they had a cow in the lab in Fringe.
If guessing episode is dodgable then I will just put this one up:
Another screenie showing the main characters:
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!
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."
Never heard of or seen this but it sounds fun.
When I was a kid I used to love The Miraculous Mellops. Weird stuff. I believe that was Aussie.
Weird Gang Odd Squad? :smiley:
Never heard or seen the show... and I'm pretty sure if it was on tv here I would run away from it like the plague, as Danes have this idea that all shows for kids and youth needs to be dubbed... >:(

What about this little gem?
Sanctuary?
Bright?
Danvzare is correct! I loved Amanda Tapping in this one...
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.
[imgzoom]http://media.swedentips.se/2016/01/goro_miyazaki_ronja_04.jpg[/imgzoom]
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?

Not sure what's making you think it's a soap opera. No, you're on the wrong track.
Another hint: It was canceled after one season/series, but then someone else bought the rights, retitled it (very much for the better!), and made it enough of a success that it was revived and is now up to Season 3.

Well it did get one British season (of four episodes) before being cancelled and redone as an American series for two seasons.
So it seemed like a good fit.

Fair enough, though those were really just two separate adaptation attempts (I wasn't even aware of the British one) rather than the same series being revived.
QuoteSkins?
Nope, but again getting closer.
Hmm, did not expect this to be so difficult, given that the last screenshot shows all the main characters clearly.
I had to edit out the actual title of the show in this shot, which is something of a clue in itself:
Really, no one has seen this?
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
MisfitsAnd if that's not enough...
Spoiler
The poster in the screenshot above this one is a major clue.
Lovesick?
Lovesick: Le Orginagelee :tongue:
Scrotal Recall :wink:
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.
Scrotal Recall is an obvious case of thinking of a title and building the show around it.
Here's on for you :cheesy:

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:
Anyway, good sleuthing, lorenzo! And some trivia to boot! Your turn.

Get Smart, some episodes are still very funny.
I wasn't sure about the first picture, but the second and third gave it away.

??? ???
Only Fools and Horses? ???
No, it's not Only Fools and Horses, but it is a British comedy.
League of Gentlemen?
Nope.
With the last image I pretty much gave it away, since the two old men are the series main characters.
Last of the Summer Wine?
Nope.
I guess no one has seen it?
To keep the thread going, here's the answer: the images are from Still Game.
And since Danvzare is the only one who tried to guess it, I would say that the next turn goes to him! :)

If this doesn't at least give the location away, I don't know what will... (roll)
PS - That's the main character next to the elephant btw...
Wild at Heart?
YES! Thank you. (nod)
And just for the sake of it, one last pic with the 2 main characters. ;)
Haha, it was the only ITV1 show I could think of that was set in Africa. ;)
Here's the next one (click the image for the full-size version):
(https://i.imgur.com/B3DKyeB.jpg)
Probably not, but Poldark?
That was quick! It is Poldark. (nod)
Oh rats... and I haven't even seen the show yet... just the trailers on tv... 8-0
Anyway... next.
The IT Crowd?
Not sure about the episode. Jen orders a coffee and the barista is rather sexual about its delivery
Nice! (nod) Spot on! (laugh)
I wasn't sure how long this one would take... but figured that in a forum full of "nerds" this should be easy. ;)
Yayyy! Here's a new one:
I'm so lost... I haven't even heard of any of the shows from the last 3 pages or so...
I guess that's what living in Japan and only having basic cable does to oneself...
I live in Japan and have Netflix AND Hulu, AND I consider myself quite a TV fan. But I am still truly truly crap at this game (plus I thought The IT Crowd was rubbish).
To be fair, I only liked/enjoyed the 1st couple seasons, then it went down the drain very fast... :~(
And Mandle, don't feel bad, I'm a TV series addicted, yet it needs to be something that is at least 10 years old for me to be able to recognize it... culminating in 80's shows, then I consumed every single show I could watch. (laugh)
Anyway... new clue Gurok? I'm fairly sure I have no idea what that show is.
Skins maybe?
Not Skins
Here's another screenshot:
Oh, and a clue: this is a British sitcom, following the IT Crowd theme :).
Oh that's Jack Dee, and it's not his new sitcom so it must be Lead Balloon.
Yes, that's correct, Stupot! Your turn!
Oh yay. I actually got one.
Here's one. It sounds obvious but I think this is definitely a case of ‘it's only easy if you know the answer'.
Law & Order?
Not Laura Norda, no.
It's older than that. I'll post a new screen in the morning if no one guesses by then.
The FBI?
I want to say Columbo, but am almost certain it's not... (roll)
Kolchak?
Matlock?
Police Story?
Quote from: Kweepa on Mon 05/03/2018 19:13:38
Kolchak?
Well done Kweepa. It's Kolchak: The Night Stalker.
Your turn.
Kweepa. Your turn. Unless someone else has got a good one?
I'll fill the gap:
The fall guy?
Ash vs Evil Dead. Season 2, episode 3-ish
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!
Oh bugger! Now I actually have to post something... Aash vs Evil Dead is about the only thing I watch... :=
Ash vs. Evil Dead?
That would be funny wouldn't it? But no it's not.
Why do I feel like it should be obvious who that guy is but can't put a name to it?
Because if I post the guy who is the main subject of the first two season you will guess it in an instant without having seen the series.
Doesn't fit with your clue, but Breaking Bad? (roll)
Nope!
Here's another screenshot with a key character, one of the good guys if you will:
SGU Stargate Universe ?
Strike Back?
The guy in the first picture. Is he a Little Person?
Nope.
Is it time to post the pretty much give away screengrab yet?
Stargate Sg-1?
X-Files?
Miami Vice?
(should I keep throwing random guesses until you post the next pic? (laugh) )
Perhaps this will make it easier:
Tootsie?
Nope. The woman on the right does look a bit like Tootsie.
Hint: these are the main antagonists for the first two seasons.
The guy looks a bit like Pablo Escobar, so... Narcos? ???
(a wild guess, I've never seen it)
Yes it Narcos. Your turn Lorenzo
Columbo?
Is that Michael Douglas, third from left?
Rockford Files?
Dayowlron is right! It's The Rockford Files! (nod)
Quote from: Stupot on Fri 16/03/2018 00:00:36
Is that Michael Douglas, third from left?
The older man? That's Noah Beery Jr.
It was the 2 on the left that I recognized from the Rockford files.
next one:
Welcome Back Kotter
Quote from: Gurok on Fri 16/03/2018 09:23:32
Welcome Back Kotter
I heard Tarantino say in an interview that the character of Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction was named "Vincent" as an in-joke that he was "Vinnie" from Welcome Back Kotter grown up and become a hitman (and changed his last name to be cooler and protect his family)...
Kotter would be so ashamed of him...
(wrong) actually the show is not about a school just has one of the main characters there for a specific episode.
hint:
Spoiler
The show has recently been remade with the same name, but a different dynamic.
Full House
(wrong)
having a hard time finding pictures from the show that dont give it away so my next screen pic will probably give it away for sure if this one doesnt.
no guesses. this should give it away.
[imgzoom]https://s18.postimg.org/hnfs1cgsp/a8ed090c2156be7ac88dc68664c9b488.jpg[/imgzoom]
The Brady Bunch?
This isn't getting any easier to be honest...
1st pic looks like something out a 70's sitcom in 4:3, last one like a training camp version for SG-1 in 16:9... (roll)
SWAT?
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/kMwBDKc.png[/imgzoom]
Well gee, that's my first ever win in this thread :grin: Dunno that many TV shows but here's one that I'm particularly fond of.
Rick And Morty?
Bob's Burgers?
Neither. Show's for a younger demographic, but still pretty mature, if you know what I mean ;)
Curious George?
The Amazing World of Gumball?
Steven Universe?
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/qlVaaFT.jpg[/imgzoom]
Steven Universe is correct for Danvzare ;)
Yay, I got it! :-D
Just give me a few hours to figure out which show I'm going to choose, and to find a screenshot.
EDIT: Here a screenshot. :-D

My vision is impaired, I cannot see! :shocked:
uhm... neither can I... uhm.... The invisible man? (laugh)
Blind Date.
Is this that joke my dad made where he'd be like "go outside and play"?
The Missing Link?

Gargoyles?
Denver?
Nope and nope.
This should make it easy:

Your turn. :-D
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/xJEwpWJ.png[/imgzoom]
Alright, this here's a personal favorite of mine :D Hopefully someone around here knows it.
Aladdin?
There was an Aladdin TV show, wasn't there?
There was, but this ain't it. The first two letters are correct, tho ;)
Only other cartoon I know of that starts with "Al" is Alvin and the chipmunks.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/2tajBh0.png[/imgzoom]
Nah, no chipmunks in this one AFAIK, but plenty of other animals tho ;)
THAT HOUSE!
Alfred Jodocus Kwak 8-)
Too obvious, eh :D Yes indeed, AnasAbdin is right.
Great choice Amayirot ;-D
Here's my clue:
Bones
Nones
Castle
The Office
Snarky is correct! It's The Office :P
Just seemed really obvious that that was Jenna Fischer...
(I always used to think that this was a photo of a cigarette stub, but seeing if freeze-frame I realize it's a drawing.)
The Flintstones?
more like The Mutantstones...
Not The Flintstones. Some mutation is involved, yes.
No guesses? Another screen, then:
Uhm... first and third says me nothing... however the 2nd does look familiar...
Les mondes engloutis ?
That's it.
Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea in English. And it's on YouTube now with English subtitles, which is nice:
https://youtu.be/XHie6NboiEQ
I was obsessed with this show as a kid. Much later,
Avatar: The Last Airbender was the first other show to really scratch that same itch.
Ah, thought it was familiar! Though I'm not sure I watched the cartoon or read the comic... or both. (laugh)
Can't remember much about it though (just that it was weird)... so thanks for the link I'm sure I'll watch all of them now. :-D
Anyway, next:
Okay, guess a random pic with some actors backs and some posters on the wall is asking too much...
Let's try a front shoot from one of the guest starts... maybe it'll help to start shooting random guesses. (laugh)
And a clue: He's aiming at the woman in the pink jacket...
Completely random guess: The A-Team? ???
It could be The A-Team only if the guy with the gun misses the woman: they never hit anything in that show. (laugh)
It's not the A-Team, but it could be, yes... and yup, he misses the shoot (not many 80s shows where the bad guy actually hits the target). ;)
EDIT: Okay this one should give it away... if nothing else but your powers of Googling... (laugh)
Another random guess: Columbo?
Still a no... so I'll post a major "goog'able" clue... which by chance was already on the previous pic (only at a smaller scale). (roll)
That's not Airwolf is it?
Nope, it's not Airwolf. (wrong)
The Flying Doctors?
No, they use planes, as far as I know, not pink helicopters. (roll)
Anyway last pic, this time with the "target" and the 3 main cast characters.
But really, I thought "pink helicopter" was a deal breaker, considering the first page on Google are all mentioning the show... (roll)
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.
Thank you Sinitrena. (nod)
You're next!
Next one:
I loved Riptide.
The latest pic from the barracks and I remember that actor in an episode I would guess "Hogan's Heroes".
I tried to make ir difficult, there are so few scenes without the main cast. Hogan's Heroes is correct. Would you like to guess the episode? Hint: that's extremly easy.
I kinda remember the episode the guy was in. I want to say he was a german posing as a prisoner.
Next:
[imgzoom]https://s17.postimg.org/6373ordpr/04d1175cec.jpg[/imgzoom]
Uhm... I'll go with the most obvious, but have a couple more guesses... (roll)
Soap ?
Quote from: dayowlron on Mon 02/04/2018 00:32:00
I kinda remember the episode the guy was in. I want to say he was a german posing as a prisoner.
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.
Oh... I thought it was a trick. (roll) Guess I know my Soap better than I thought. (laugh)
Next:
Really? Not even one attempt into trying to figure who those 4 are? ???
Okay, one clue: 1996 (Gurok choose the year, btw! So blame him. :P )
And a new screenshot:
x-files?
Not x-files, but your on the right track. :)
Supernatural?
Nope, sorry, that show started first in 2005... but still you're in the right track for gender genre.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
My epguides site says Buffy started in 97, so nope, not Buffy either. There might be vampires on this show, but I can't remember if there was any to me honest. (laugh)
Here's another screengrab... probably won't help much either though. (laugh)
On the plus side, next screenshot will include main cast (though they already are featured on the 1st one (but I guess it's hard to identify them there... (roll) )
Ghost Whisperer?
Fringe?
Come on folks how are those anywhere near 1996!
:P
Like ManicMatt says... neither of those shows aired in 1996. (roll)
Okay then, first cast pic:
Silent Witness?
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...)
(If no one gets it by tomorrow I'll post a dead give away, since I'm sure everyone will be "Oh! That is ... !!!" -->
IMDB Google! --> "There it can only be that show!" (laugh)
Note: (seems like IMDB doesn't list the show on the actor's page... yet, he's credited in the show's page... weird... it must be ... (roll) )
Edit: Genre, not gender... (laugh) tks ManiacMatt (nod)
Dark Skies?
(wrong)
Am I the only one watching weird shows? (roll)
Yes.
Sliders?
That's what Gurok wanted me to post... and that's not the main cast of Sliders either. (wrong)
Okay, I expect this to be my last picture post, and my next post to be "Yup! That is it! (nod) "
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Wed 04/04/2018 20:21:53
Note: (seems like IMDB doesn't list the show on the actor's page... yet, he's credited in the show's page... weird... it must be ... (roll) )
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!)
Is it there? I looked and didn't saw it under the "Self" tab. :-\
*checks again*
Yup, it is there... I either need glasses or learn to type the show's name without a "-" in it. (laugh)
Anyway, title, I need a tittle to give a prize... (nod)
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.
LOL, yes, that is exactly the type of line he would say on this show. (nod) (laugh)
Extreme Ghostbusters?
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.
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...
Ok, this one is just short of giving the show's name... (roll)
Amazing Stories?
All right, since no one has taken it yet, I'll do it even if I had to look it up... Uhh, I've already forgotten the title. Psi something... Psi Factor?
Yes, thank you Snarky. (nod)
Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal, to be more exact. (laugh)
Geez, this was a hard one, was starting to think you all were just trolling me... (and I'm not quite convinced you weren't to be honest. (roll) ).
I do recommend the 1st season. However they bring Matt Frewer in S2, whom I can't stand! But by then I enjoyed the remaining cast, so I continued watching and cringing every single time I had to hear that guy talk.
I quite like Matt Frewer... This is not related to that, though:
Maybe this will help...
Spy ?
If that's the title of a show, then no.
NCIS?
Missing?
No and no. I think this one is a giveaway, right?
Hmm, am I once again so out of step with what the rest of the forums are watching on TV?
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.
Clue 4: All smiles seen in these pictures are faked by the characters.
Durrr, it's The Americans!
(I'm late to the thread... great show!)
It sure is, Kweepa! With Keri "Felicity" Russell as the deep-cover KGB agent slash all-American working mom (and Matthew Rhys as her husband slash assigned partner).
Good someone finally recognized it. (laugh)
[imgzoom]http://www.kweepa.org/step/ags/whatsontv_recore.jpg[/imgzoom]
Bonus points for naming the game he's playing. Hint... I worked on it :P
Nothing?
[imgzoom]http://www.kweepa.org/step/ags/whatsontv05b.jpg[/imgzoom]
The game looks like it could have something to do with Star Wars?
I can see that - but the character design and setting predate the new Star Wars... :)
The show is on Netflix...
Don't know the game (sorry Kweepa!), but I do know my Timothy Olyphants... That's The Santa Clarita Diet.
Someone else can take my turn.
S'right!
I liked Season 1 well enough, but haven't had a chance to take a look at S2. Any good?
Also: So what was the game, then?
S2 is excellent too - we ploughed through it in a couple of evenings :)
The game was Recore:

Here's a mega clue:
Spoiler
It's a television program (not a series) from the early 90's
Guess I'm out them, I've only seen series not programs... :p
Is it that game show where the kids go inside video games and run around "playing" them?
No mandle, it's not.
Are those images from either side of the ad break: ‘end of part one' and ‘part two'?

Blockbuster: The Series? :tongue:
Oh, is it that one with the guy who sat out in front of his trailer home introducing the show?
Wrong...
Games Radar?

Movies, Games and Videos
This was my internet as a kid!
Not something that I have ever seen or heard of...
From the Wikipedia article, it sounds like something I should have known, but can't remember it!
Now, the internet for games before the internet for me..
Next one:
Futureman?
Just because it has some bits set in a comics store (very unconvincingly portrayed by the actors, none of which seem like they've ever actually been in one, I might add).
Nope.
Don't know it, I'm sure... but just for the guess:
Chuck ?
No, sorry.
Heroes?
Heroes reborn? (laugh)
Neither.
Scorpion?
Parenthood?
No and no.
Bloodline?
(Just a guess really because I think I recognize John Leguizamo in the background of that shot)
No John Leguizamo in this shot as far as I can tell (unless he's uncredited). And it's not Bloodline.
Suits?
Quote from: Mandle on Tue 01/05/2018 02:02:58
(Just a guess really because I think I recognize John Leguizamo in the background of that shot)
I think that's Jonathan Tucker, that's why I guessed parenthood... I guess he was a guest in some other tv show.
White Collar (also in the crowded genre of apparel-named drama series)
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) ).
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.)

The Last Tycoon takes place in the thirties...
I've never seen it,how should I know that?
Uhm... well, my memory isn't what it used to be, since I remember nothing of that episode (and I've watched the entire show (laugh) )
Community?
Correct :)
I recognised the background behind the couch. I vaguely recall these substitute classmates, but not really. It's been too long since I watched it.
Who knows this one?
Stargate SG1? :smiley:
It looks pretty new...
Stargate Origins?
That was quick! Kinkilla got it.
An easy one.
Looks like Kiefer Sutherland so I will guess Designated Survivor or 24?
Correct!
It was 24.
Damn... blink and you missed it... (laugh)
cool. here is a show I have been watching lately.
The Fall?
American Gods?
That's Christina Hendricks, not Gillian Anderson.
Mad Men?
Quote from: Snarky on Thu 03/05/2018 04:36:53
That's Christina Hendricks, not Gillian Anderson.
Sure looks like her to me though.
all (wrong) but Snarky has the actress.
Scream Queens?
Quote from: Mandle on Thu 03/05/2018 06:30:43
Sure looks like her to me though.
:-\ I don't really see it. Plus she's not a redhead in either of those series (except when she's being Lucy in AG, but I seem to recall that's all in b&w).
Isn't Hendricks in that show with Nicole Kidman now? Big Little Lies?
all (wrong)
2 more images:
Tin Star?
(wrong)
Hap and Leonard?
Good Girls?
Quote from: Frodo on Fri 04/05/2018 12:27:56
Good Girls?
Correct. I was thinking you guys were playing with me. All the clues were there but kept guessing around it.
:grin:
This is something I've been watching recently. Brilliant programme.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/AQvgLnn.png[/imgzoom]
Just based on "ION" television.
Criminal Minds?
or CSI?
Nope to both :smiley:
Just my personal opinion, and I'm sure I've broken this rule myself occasionally, but I feel the game is more fun and fair if we stick to one guess per post...

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.
Is it that show where the police use new high-tech stuff to help them solve crimes? Forgot the name.
Mandle, not sure what programme you're thinking about (maybe Rosewood?), but it's not the focus of this one.
I hate it when I know the actor but can't think of his name or which shows he's been on. :-\
I'll guess Private Eyes ?
Also Frodo, please don't call a show a "program"... they mean totally different things to me. (roll) A program would be something like E! or the likes... ;)
Not Private Eyes
And Cassie, TV programmes is what they're called here. A 'show' is what you go and see at the theatre. :smiley:
also programme is a printed booklet you might get going to the theatre.
So what's the next tv show/program/series lol
Can we agree on "series" then? :-D
The Newsroom ?
Not The Newsroom :smiley:
Also based by "ion Television"
Blue Bloods?
Nope again
the West Wing?
Nope. The man in the taxi is well known for his role in another TV series. :smiley:
Law and Order?
(Or as I like to call it, Laura Norder.)
Sorry, no laws (or Lauras :tongue:) here.
How about another screenshot? :smiley:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/Pkl2NIO.png[/imgzoom]
Leverage?
Is that Michael Shanks?
Josiah, sorry, it's not Leverage.
ManicMatt, yep, that's Michael Shanks. I wondered how recognisable he would be, with that ventilator. :smiley:
I'm pretty good with faces, but I still have no idea what this is without looking it up. (Which seems like its sort of in the rules but feels like cheating to me..)
24?
*shakes head* :sad:
With ManicMatt's tip and a little research I'm gonna take a stab at Saving Hope?

And you would be right! :cheesy:
This was my next picture, showing my 2 favourite doctors.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/FA6yIKS.png[/imgzoom]
Bonus points, if you can tell me if Charlie's ghosts are real or just his imagination? :wink:
I've never seen the show, but it sounds really interesting. I'll have to check it out!
Since it was ManicMatt's tip that helped me to figure it out I'll pass the torch over to him :)
Oh okay, here ya go:
Bananaman?
(Yes, I'm literally just saying the two things in the picture)
Is that Bill Bailey or Nick Frost or none of the above?
Mandle: ha, a live action version of the cartoon would be funny, but this isn't it.
Stupot: ah another familiar.. face.. that doesn't work. familiar profile name. heh. anyways, its not Bill Bailey, but it is Nick Frost!
I was gonna go with a different image for the first one but this looked too silly not to! (just incase someone got it right on first image)
My guess is Hyperdrive since it is Nick Frost.
Correct! It ran for only one series, a sci-fi comedy. I have it on DVD but only seen it the once ages ago. (I'll get around to watching it again someday..)
I watched it twice on Netflix. I only vaguely remember it and can't even remember any character names. But the red banana seemed fitting.
I'm not even sure how much I'll enjoy it when I do watch it!
Well, it depends on how much you like stupid comedy/science fiction. It tried to be good, but didn't quite reach the mark.
Red Dwarf is one of my all time favourate shows, so... ;)
Sorry, had to think of something not immediately recognizable, but with the possibility...
Stargate Atlantis? (Although if it is him, he looks younger here, so maybe not)
It is Joe Flanigan, but not Stargate Atlantis. As for looking younger, both this and the first season of Stargate Atlantis occurred between 2000 and 2005.

Sorry, mate, for calling this out here but even though I know your avatar is a walkcycle I cannot help but also see it as a bit pornographic, like there might be something going on just below our field of vision...
I would have sent a personal message myself, but you're the second person to ask me what Bishi is doing, today. You dirty minded... lol
I'll replace it with this soon, mmkay?
Quote from: ManicMatt on Tue 08/05/2018 16:51:40
I would have sent a personal message myself
But where's the fun in that? (laugh)
By the way, love the character and the name "Bishi" to go with it. Somehow seems to just fit so well in the way "Elmo" fits that character's look.
Thanks! Plus I got the final boss to say "Prepare to be squishy, Bishi!"
Well, this is kind of embarassing...
Okay, another screenshot. Still Joe Flanigan, but the female being kept intentionally vague.
Providence?
Nope.
Judging Amy ?
I had to check to make sure he was even in Judging Amy and found that the FBI Agent in the Terminator was played by a guy who was a main character on Judging Amy...
But, no.
Profiler?
Nope. Another screenshot so it's not just guessing everything he was in...
I think he might have been in CSI Miami once, unless that was the farscape guy Ben Browder. Plus theres a boat. So I'll go with that.
Well, Ben Browder was also in Stargate SG-1, so he is connected to Joe Flanigan that way...
But no, no form of CSI, NCIS, or other alphabet soup.
Women's Murder Club?
Friends?
Nope, not Women's Murder Club.
And I'm confused why Friends would even be guessed. Were there ever even any scenes filmed outside and not close to a building (other than the intro) or without one of the main cast?
I looked up Ben Browder, and he was in CSI Miami once. So yes, I mixed up my late Stargate actors haha.
X-Files?
Keep trying, the truth is out there...
Just realised: this is Joe Flanigan! (roll)
Next try: Sisters.
Yes. Joe Flanigan and two as of yet unidentified females. But not Sisters.
We're running out of series from 2000 to 2005... (roll)
My next try: First Monday ? (but by the plot of the series I would guess no... )
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Fri 11/05/2018 22:10:57
We're running out of series from 2000 to 2005... (roll)
Yep... 8-0
Tru Calling?
Tru Calling it is.
How many damn shows was that guy in?! I've never even heard of him.
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.
Kinkilla, that was guessed here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54952.msg636566799#msg636566799
Post another one. (nod)
Next time I'll first search the name of the series in this topic. (roll)
Guaranteed new!
Babylon 5, season 1 ?
You're (half) right! (nod)
Well... it was season 3. :P
Oh, been a long while since I saw B5. (roll)
Anyway, next:
Baywatch?
Ahaha... you fall right into my evil trap! (laugh)
Nope, not Baywatch. (wrong)
Aargh... I already thought, that would be too easy.
Let's investigate: This is a canadian series (or it was aired on canadian networks anytimes). And it's rated PG...
The Beachcombers?
Um.. Due South?
(Because that was Canadian, athough this looks nothing like it, so..)
No to either... guess
Wonder what makes you think it's Canadian though... (wtf)
here's a new screeny:
The PG logo is the canadian version.
Yeah, I got this from a friend as tv caps, no idea where they come from, as the show wasn't on dvd or available to buy back then.
BTW, both screen grabs are from the intro. ;) I got one more to post, before I start posting faces... (laugh)
No guesses?
Here's a new screenshot, still from the intro:
Star Trek Enterprise?
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)
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.
Thanks for the guess, but it's not the Visitor, show's a little older than that. ;)
China Beach?
Thank you dayowlron! (nod)
Here's the ST actor that I know so well (when he still had hair (laugh) ):
Your turn. :-D
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Mon 14/05/2018 12:24:36
well, that actor has been in several STs... though not Voyager...
I thought the clue was this program has an actor who has been in star trek but not voyager, which is what Robert Beltran mostly was in.. I'm confused?
Did I actually get it. I didn't watch the show but knew it had something to do with the vietnam or korean war and the helicopter in that last picture reminded me of the Huey choppers in those conflicts.
next: (should be a very easy one)
MacGyver (the new one)

But that picture is Robert Picardo, who was the EMH Doctor who never could decide on a name...
Robert Beltran played Chakotay.
But I was also confused by the clue.
Yes, sorry guys... I meant to type "though not ST Enterprise"... Voyager was the series he WAS main character in... my brain went against my intention. Sorry.. :-[
Oops wrong actor name, I got my Robert's mixed up!
Ah ok Cassiebsg, seems we're both having an off day! I loved it when he popped up in First Contact.
Quote from: Sinitrena on Mon 14/05/2018 18:19:43
MacGyver (the new one)
of course that is correct.(nod)
Hmm. The guy on the right looks familiar, but seems he should have glasses...
Probably because the last thing I saw him in, he had glasses. If he is indeed Ted Rooney.
But this isn't any of the shows or movie I've seen him in.
So, I'm going to just guess The Closer.
Major Crimes?
Yes to Ted Rooney, no and no to The Closer and Major Crimes.
Nobody? Try this pic:
Still no idea... Supernatural?
Still no.
Hint:
Spoiler
I went from guest stars to recuring (one person in the second pic) to (one of the) main character(s).
Leverage?
Correct (nod)
Really, I am shocked. just guessed a tv show that Ted Rooney was in just one episode from the clue you gave.
I don't have a show right now so will pass my turn to anyone else who would like to take it.
I've got one...
No guesses?! OK, here's another...
Still no idea... but I'll shot Flash Gordon?
Let's see if this helps...
Is it that Shannara show again? What with being this sort of post-apocalyptic fantasy and all...
No, but you are on the right track.
This one should give it away, if not, at least it can easily be figured out now. :-D
Into The Badlands?
That is correct Mandle!
A really good show if you like over the top martial arts in a post apocalyptic future that doesn't involve zombies :)
[IMGZOOM]http://i64.tinypic.com/1y4w92.jpg[/IMGZOOM]
Dukes Of Hazard?
No
Hmmm. My brain tells me I know that car. But I don't want to guess the show itself at this point...
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.
That's a Pacer, not a Gremlin.
It looks like the Pacer from Wayne's World - same paint job - but a bit more weathered.

And you were indeed right that it looks a bit more weathered...
Pawn Stars!
Quote from: josiah1221 on Wed 23/05/2018 03:31:03
Pawn Stars!
Indeed!
They didn't buy it though.
I believe the car eventually sold for about $37,000 at a Las Vegas auction... It was the original car from the movie...
Over to you!
I don't have anything at the moment, so since I just went recently I'll pass to someone else :)
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/iWTuVTY.png?1[/imgzoom]
In that case, I had this image already lined up just cause :D
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.
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.
Well it was Alexanders haircut that made me guess that.
Well spotted, it is Star Trek :=
I have so many turns lately I would submit to VampireWombat if he would like it since he did know the answer sooner than me.
Well, okay...
I've seen her in at least 3 different things and I don't think this is any of those!
Hmm. Yes. I can think of 3 different tv shows I've seen her in that this isn't too.
looks like Alison Hannigan and only thing I can think of that she was in at the moment is How I met your mother.
You are correct on who, but not what.
It doesn't quite look like Veronica Mars, either, but maybe?
You are correct.
*pokes Snarky* :tongue:
Right. This:
Er.. Rosie and Jim???
Nay.
I picked this show basically just to show off the lovely period-looking location shots (here possibly enhanced by some matte painting?).
Eliot Ness?
Endeavour?
Not bad guesses, but...
Quote from: Frodo on Wed 30/05/2018 21:05:46
Eliot Ness?
You have the wrong continent.
Quote from: Sinitrena on Wed 30/05/2018 21:33:18
Endeavour?
And you have the wrong era.
Bergerac?
No. Right genre, wrong time period. (Look at the cars: Bergerac doesn't take place pre-war!)
I expect this will be it:
Poirot?
I'd say yes, Poirot! His eyes are pretty distinct.
Yeah I just thought that too, that must be David Suchet.
Oui, bien sûr !
The episode is "Double Sin".
Oh, yes, those eyes are very recognizable... (laugh)
Airplane?
Whoops! Wrong thread!
NopeNope! Neither! (laugh)
Tales Of The Gold Monkey?
No, but now I'm curious about a show with that name. (laugh)
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Sat 02/06/2018 15:35:57
No, but now I'm curious about a show with that name. (laugh)
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.
Well, you got the right idea... "shortlived" and "extremely cheesey" parts fit perfectly into this show. (laugh)
I thought the previous image would at least give a big clue (unless nobody has seen/remembers this show (roll) ).
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.)
LOL, yes, it's Automan! :-D
To be honest, I don't think I gave it that much thought about the car not turning 90 degrees... just thought it was cool it turned 90 degrees... (laugh)
Your turn.
I soooo wanted a little "Cursor" buddy and remember thinking so hard how I could possibly program my TRS-80 to produce one, but to no avail...
Next one:
[IMGZOOM]http://www.myconfinedspace.com/wp-content/uploads/tdomf-2/465805/X3BTZ.gif[/IMGZOOM]
I have no idea what show is this Mandle! I just want to comment AUTOMAN! THE MEMORIES! (laugh)
Cat crawling a fake city model? (wtf)
Teletubies? (laugh)
Monty Python's Flying Cats!
Nope, and nope...
But one of those guesses is kind of close...
Why do I suddenly want to see cats in mechs?
I'm 99.9% sure this is wrong, but I'm guessing Ultrakitten anyway.
Is that even a thing?! (laugh)
And....nope...
I'm guessing that either CaptainD, Stupot, or Slasher is going to win this round...
Sadly, no...
But apparently there was a Japanese "popular musical group" called UltraCats.
The gif makes me want to see a kitten fighting something in a model city, though. Even if it's an Ewok.

Sorry for the lack of further screenies. Been too busy every spare moment bug-fixing my MAGS entry so that it is actually possible to play the game right through and win without freezes or inescapable death-trap situations.
Finally, it is done!!! YAY!!!
Gonna take a brief step away from the computer though as I'm getting monitor-vertigo. I'll be back with a new acreenie soon!
You might not need one; I'm pretty sure that's The Goodies. Which I've never actually seen an episode of but I've seen clips on various other shows. 8-)

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!
Over to you!
Kitten Kong, that's the one! I knew I'd heard it! (laugh)
Speaking of shows from childhood eras, here's the next one:
Trapdoor?
Yep! :-D
*Sings the Trapdoor theme tune*
The Goodies with Bill Oddie in it, right? Never seen it I'm afraid.
Quote from: ManicMatt on Wed 06/06/2018 17:02:47

:-D
Huh funny, I always knew there was a Spectrum (and presumably other systems) game called Trap Door, I never actually knew about the TV show!
Someone else can jump in with one if they like.
Goosebumps?
You are correct. Can you name the episode as well? Should be easy.
The very first episode, maybe?
Bonanza?
I think Cheyenne or Gunsmoke.
Rawhide? (just looking at tv series in b&W - or at least 1st season or so.)
No, it's not Rawhide.
Here's an image from a different episode, with another known actor:
Wanted: Dead or Alive ?
Correct! (nod)
Ah, thought it looked like him. (laugh)
Next:
Columbo?
Just looks like the back of Peter Falk's head to me!!
I guess you right, it does look like the back of his head... but it's not. (laugh)
Let's try and look at this scene from another angle then...
Northern Exposure?
Yup. (nod)
That was lucky! I've only watched the first 3-4 episodes of that show.
An easy one:
the obvious? Columbo?
Either that, or its spin-off Cooking with Peter Falk. ;)
Your turn!
I checked afterwards (just to make sure there wasn't another show with those two... and there was only the 47th Oscars and a movie (laugh) )
Anyway, now for something completely different (and easy?)
Bewitched?
(That's gotta be little Tabitha using her magic to get the toy she wants, right?)
Yup, that it is. (nod)
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:
Thunderbirds?
Nope
Tom n Jerry?
Because it looks like a cartoon drawing when they do extra details. I think I can make out a russian logo of the hammer and sickle but that doesn't really help me personally.
No, it's not from a cartoon.
Another shot:
[IMGZOOM]http://i68.tinypic.com/10nt8r4.jpg[/IMGZOOM]
Captain Scarlit?
Nope
Big Sound?
Twilight Zone?
Weird Science?
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Mon 11/06/2018 14:59:39
Twilight Zone?
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?
(I'm surprised nobody went for the bait. I was sure someone would guess "The Day After", which was a TV only movie/miniseries...)
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. :)
EDIT: This should be easy...
Dawson's Creek?
Ehrm... no. (wrong)
Looks like Haven
Thank you Buckethead! (nod)
On to you. ;-D
This went really funny actually. I was looking at your screenshots and felt they kind of reminded me of Haven. I figured it would be a good show to post next, when I guessed on right again. Then I looked closer and saw it actually is Haven. :-D
Next one:
Not sure anyone else has seen this.
Dora The Explorer?
haha nope this is life action
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Season 3.
Yay more Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt fans. It is season 4 though.
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.
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.
I have no idea what it is but it looks gloriously ridiculous!
I'm not uploading another image yet, but I'm going to give another hint. The main character of the tv series was in a movie as recently as last year.
Superman?
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.
Cool. I kinda remembered that movie as having some super hero then with your clue I guessed Superman.
Next one:
The Brady Bunch?
(perhaps the episode where they go to the western ghost town and get kidnapped?)
(wrong)
Little House On The Prairie?
(wrong)
Bonanza?
All good guesses, but no. New Screen Shot:
The next image will help a lot more than these 2.
The A-Team?
no. but another good guess.
I am going to post one that will help more.
Not sure, but he looks suspicious like Elliot Gould...so I'll shoot E/R ?
It looks more like Jim Nabors to me. But I'm pretty sure it's not Gomer Pyle.
I'm pretty sure this is wrong... Return to Mayberry?
Both wrong, but it is Jim Nabors but he was probably just a guest on the program. The girl is a regular character.
Never heard of him... :-[
Anyway, a quick look at IMDB showed me that image, so now I accidentally know what show that is. :(
EDIT: I think VW should take this one, since he at least got the actor right. (nod)
I think someone else should still be able to guess. It's not like I had any clue the actual show.
well will make it a bit easier. a couple of screen shots of the main characters.

T. J. Hooker?
(wrong) but good guess. was just a few years earlier than that.
NYPD Blue?
Nevermind. I misread the shoulder badge.
Seems to say SCPD... hmmmm maybe South Carolina?
I think that's Michael Ontkean (from Twin Peaks), and if so it's got to be The Rookies.
Quote from: Snarky on Sun 17/06/2018 06:23:48

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.
Finally found the time to take some screenshots. This is an underappreciated gem:
(Don't cheat by Googling the phrase, OK?)

Favorites are the one where
Spoiler
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."
and the conclusion to the story of
Spoiler
Larry starring in "The Producers" stage show. That's probably the cleverest meta-comedy I've ever seen! Brilliant!
Well, take heart; it's not in fact Curb. You're on the right network, though.

No. And Curb is HBO, The League is FX or FXX.

I live in Japan and only have crappy basic cable. I don't know what actual channel anything is originally on until I see an episode and it has the logo at the start.
I vaguely remember seeing the episode now that HBO is mentioned. This means it was one of the shows I watched last year when I had a free trial of HBO Go.
I'm guessing Extras.
Nope.
I've edited out a bunch of credits from this shot to avoid giving up anything directly.
Beauty and the Beast?
It's not.
Flight Of The Concords?
No, I don't think Brett's beard was ever that big. ;)

Hahaha! True, but I'd heard rumours of a new season and thought this might be it.
Hmm, I said the show was underappreciated, and it's starting to look like I was right...

Correct!
Ok let's try this:
Ha.
Er.. Ash vs Evil Dead??

Ha.

Doesn't look like enough blood for that. Could be the beginning of a huge torrent though...
I'm gonna try:
Twin Peaks (new series)?
I'm thinking the scene where:
Spoiler
The young couple get ripped up on the sofa in the mystery box room
All wrong.
Omen?
or some series about The Amityville Horror?
(wrong) nope
Okay, apart from literally guessing a show called "Blood Dripping Down A Wall", I think we may need another screenie soonish...
Hannibal?
Criminal Minds?
Oh wait... the clue only shows blood and it seems Mr. Abdin expects us to guess it from that alone at the moment...
Sooooo...
Dexter?!
(He's a blood analyst, especially for spray/splatter patterns.)
My Little Pony?
oh no!!
I had to check the previous page that I didn't somehow type abbatoir haha!

Here's another screeny:
Woah that's some old cgi (I hope), um, Goosebumps?
Wrong..
Tales from the crypt?
Nope.
Are you afraid of the dark?
No
Bones ?
No
Scrubs?
No
Red Dwarf?
Wrong...
another screenshot (same season different episode)
That looks like a gorn from Star Trek? Is this a trick question and its something like mystery science theatre where they watch lots of different stuff?
Looks like something from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?
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.
The Big Bang Theory? :P
There was an episode where Sheldon dreamed that a Gorn was sitting in his spot on the couch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ndo-fkY7fnc
It is The big bang theory (nod)
Was that blood dripping down the wall really from Big Bang Theory? That's a bit gory for a prime-time sitcom.
Yes it was! They were trying to scare Sheldon (laugh)
dayowlron deserves the win even though I (shamelessly stole his speculation and) made the actual winning guess. (laugh)
I did however realize after he mentioned TBBT that the background behind the glowing skeleton is the hallway at the university they all work at.
So, I'll take it if he doesn't want it.
To think I saw that episode earlier this year!
Seriously? I did not think it was TBBT. I was just saying the gorn did not look completely like the one in Star Trek.
Well if Mandle would like to take my turn he can have it since he actually made it a guess, otherwise I will try to come up with something later today.
Going to go with this older show.
Full House?
Different Strokes?
Also, that looks like Juliette Lewis on the right there so can I also have a shot at:
I Married Dora?
(wrong) and that is not Juliette Lewis
Family Ties?
Married With Children?
Despite the fact I don't remember the characters, there's something that tells me it's Charles in Charge.

Forgive me for what I'm doing. And to prevent a little bit of trauma: Yes it's James Van Der Beek. And no it's not Dawson's Creek.
Beverly Hills 90210?
Nope.
After a bit of research:
As The World Turns?
Nope. But now I feel bad that you actually did research...
I'm showing a little mercy early.
Aliens in the family
ARRRGHHHH!!! Kill it with fire!!!
Yes, it is indeed Aliens in the Family.
It's what happens when someone decides that if Dinosaurs was successful that the Brady Bunch with aliens would be just as successful.

A.L.F. probably had something to do with it as well...
Alf, vaguely... Alf was just a puppet most of the time. Both Dinosaurs and Aliens in the Family were shown on ABC on TGIF with people in full body costumes with animatronic heads made by Jim Henson's company. Except for the babies, of course. The only improvement Aliens in the Family had over Dinosaurs is that the baby in it didn't sound like Elmo...
Quote from: VampireWombat on Thu 28/06/2018 15:12:19
Alf, vaguely... Alf was just a puppet most of the time..
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.
Okay, I'll take a turn. I have one in mind. I'll put up a shot soon.

Nothing yet. I'll put up another shot soon.

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!
I was just saying I noticed a similarity. cool
So heres the next one.
Jerry Springer?
(wrong)
Cosby show?
Good guess, but no.
next pic:
Good Times or Sanford & Son?

This was going to be my next one:
How long should we wait for Jack to return and take his turn?
Not a second longer...
Lost in Space?

[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/WqdNk6f.png[/imgzoom]
Your turn Wombat
I happened to be reminded of this show by something yesterday. And it also happens I watched it on the same channel as The Invisible Man.
Sliders?
(Just from age of footage and scifi look, none of them are Sliders main cast)
Nope. Correct channel, genre and time period at least.
okay:
Uhm, still blank...
First Wave?
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.
Star Trek?
Followed your clued and... Welcome to Paradox ?
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.
Not heard of that, and I'm still stung by that cliffhanger "ending". If only it hadn't been axed.
I assume you mean Space: Above And Beyond.
What else would you expect from Fox? The X-Files is pretty much the only sci fi series they made that did't get cancelled too soon. And Alien Nation is the only one fortunate to get multiple movies to tie up most of the loose ends.
Sorry yeah that one. Was it Fox? Figures!
Okay, never heard of the show... didn't even knew he had a sister, much less a twin sister! 8-0 Guess making Beverly Hills wasn't as "new" as one might have guessed. (laugh)
Anyway, next (sorry for the bad quality):
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/eBmDFD8.png[/imgzoom]
OT: I'm also sad that SAaB got the axe. :~( and it was more true to BSG than than the new show ever will. :P
Not a single try?
here's the next:
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/wfQQsqw.png[/imgzoom]
Is that John Hurt?
The Sweeney?
If it is, he's not credited, and it's not that show.
Maybe this one will help a bit more:
No idea..
The Tommorow People?
The Time Tunnel?
Lost In Space?
No, no , and... Lost in Space? I thought that show was mostly about being in space, not on Earth? No. :P
Also, ManicMatt, is at least closer in time frame and type of show. ;)
Anyway, since nobody seems to recognize the backs of some of the heroes... let's try another view, with less back and more face. (laugh)
[imgzoom]http://i.imgur.com/VspYp6B.png[/imgzoom]
Happy Days?!
The Famous Five? (Probably not the same type of show..)
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.
ManicMatt gets the 5 stars! (nod)
Type as in: Both are youth shows. ;) There's a reason I didn't type genre. :-D
This one would have been the last clue:

Quote from: VampireWombat on Fri 20/07/2018 13:28:28
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?)
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.
Have at it!
Cop Shop?
Not heard of that one. which answers your guess, lol.
The Thin Blue Line?
The Bill? (even though that picture looks too clean and I don't recognize the officer... (roll) )
That was quick, Frodo wins the imaginary prize, one ring to rule them all. Enjoy!
By the way guys, why does that copper look familiar? He's just an extra so either he just looks like someone else, or went on to bigger roles.

It was an Australian police station drama. I just thought the police dude looked a bit Australian for some reason.

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.'"Over to you Gurok!
Next TV show:
Police Squad?
It's not Police Squad, but you have the right actor!
Well, shit then... This guy was basically in every TV show ever...
Given the look of the woman though I'll try:
Columbo?
Love Boat?
Dayowlron has it! The Love Boat. I was trying to be sneaky and show the guest stars. Next clue was Capt. Stubing, I swear. Anyway, your turn, Dayowlron!
Just want to add, I miss Leslie Nielsen, he was brilliant.
Quote from: ManicMatt on Mon 23/07/2018 15:12:05

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.
Ah ingenious, the lot of them! I miss a good parody movie. We had all that Scary Movie/Epic Movie etc by the same people and the ones I saw were garbage. I don't know if there's some good recent parodies that I'm unaware of.
Quote from: ManicMatt on Mon 23/07/2018 16:06:12

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)!
sorry, I just meant that all the "____ movie" spoofs around that time were from the same writers/producers whatever. I wasn't aware the Zuckers had any involvement, and I've only seen the first scary movie.
Wow, that was a guess just from leslie neilsen and the background.
Next:
One simple search proved to me which show this was since I could only think of 2 that David Spade was in and I knew for sure this wasn't the other...
Sadly, 2 actors from it died.
8 Simple Rules, which at least at one point was 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter.

Correct and yes including John Ritter who died on the set.
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.
[imgzoom]http://i67.tinypic.com/a305cm.jpg[/imgzoom]
Well, I just saw this actor in a show called "The Shooter" in Japan. He played the US President... He doesn't look very Presidential in the picture though but I'll give it a shot... 8-)
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...
So, here's another image.

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%.
Well, things certainly took an unexpected turn...
Granite Flats?
You are correct.
And the show I watched Sunday was the new Lost in Space, which has Parker Posey as the fake Dr. Smith.
I just had a turn recently so anyone can take my turn. I only got that one cause they are the only one that Christopher Lloyd and Tom Wright have been in recently and it looked like it was recent from the age of Christopher Lloyd.
Okay, anyone seen this one?
Bates Motel?
Nope
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.
It's all about collecting items!
If anyone here hasn't seen it then they should!
The only adventure game brought to TV I've seen is Maniac Mansion. Which very much strayed from its source.
So, I'm going to guess Detectorists, which I haven't seen, but is in my Netflix queue...

Sorry, I didn't literally mean it was a pre-existing adventure game brought to TV. I just meant that it 100% had the feel of playing an adventure game.
Plus: It would make an amazing adventure game if someone made it!
Yeah, I knew you didn't mean literally.
But I haven't seen any tv show that I'd really say felt like an adventure game. Including Maniac Mansion...
Of course I've seen several tv shows which could work as a basis of an adventure game.
So, not Detectorists...
Collectors?
Nope...
BONUS HINT: The collectable items in the show are combinable as inventory puzzles to completely change their effects!
WARNING: Death/insanity/and-or the destruction of the fabric of reality may ensue from random experimentation!
Was there a movie version of Full Throttle? that is the video game the image reminds me of.
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!
Huh... I wonder how I either missed this miniseries or forgot it. I would have had the Scifi Channel in 2006.

I think Stu might be busy travelling back from England. I doubt he'd mind if someone took over the next one.
Yeah, sorry. It's been a busy week and I'd forgotten about this. Thanks for relighting the flame, Frodo.
Twilight Zone?
Nope to both
Not The Nine O'Clock News?
Not any news. :cool:
Are You Being Served?
*shakes head sadly*
Maybe this will make things easier? :smiley:

Rentaghost?
That's it, Kweepa. Loved that programme when I was a kid. :cheesy:
You do know it was terrible, though...?
Next:

The woman makes me think True Blood, but the colors of the diner make me think Pushing Daisies.
But I'll go with True Blood.
It's not True Blood (or Pushing Daisies)...
Isn't that Felicia Day? She's been in a ton of stuff, so I'll just randomly guess Supernatural.
The Good Wife, it's Tascione
Snarky, nope.
You are close, eri0o...
Oh, right! I recognize her now. The Good Fight, then?
Yep!
It's Carrie Preston, who plays a waitress in True Blood - so Vampire Wombat fell into my trap... :)
I stuck with The Good Wife to the end, but I hadn't got around to The Good Fight even though I have it on streaming, so thanks for reminding me of its existence!
Carrie Preston and Felicia Day resemble each other
a lot, to my eyes.
Next:
I don't know who or what I'm looking at...
Maybe set in the 20s in colonial Africa?
But what's with the guy on the right who appears to have stepped out of a Yorkshire pub?
Also, what is that weird twisted wood thing in the background on the left?
So many questions...
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.
Haha, love those questions, Kweepa!
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.
No guesses at all? 'Nother clue, then:
No idea but did you notice the cameraman's finger taking up half the screen in the last clue but one?
Quote from: Stupot on Mon 27/08/2018 23:14:23
No idea but did you notice the cameraman's finger taking up half the screen in the last clue but one?
Is that even possible to do with a movie camera?
I'm pretty sure it's the edge of someone's head in the foreground, since it's from the viewpoint of someone glancing past their current conversation.
Also, the answer to Kweepa's questions:
Spoiler
Hipsters! (And also a cult)
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.
Finally something I can work with.
Since I'm pretty sure that's Alia Shawkat in the newest image, I'm guessing Search Party.
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.
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.

30 Rock,

High Maintenance and
Broad City are must-watch, and
Portlandia,
Search Party,
Love and
Another Period are worth a try.
You guys watch a lot of TV.
Duh, it's the What's on TV thread.
Don't judge us!
Quote from: Kweepa on Tue 28/08/2018 18:43:45
Duh, it's the What's on TV thread.

Word.
Not a single guess?
Mighty Morphing Power Rangers?
Nope. But I checked and this did run during the same time period.
VR5?
Nope. But that was one of the 3 shows I considered.
VR Troopers?
No.
And not Big Bad Beetleborgs, Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills, or any other tv show with 20 somethings playing teenagers who fight monsters.
Looks a bit like Ocean Girl
Hmm. Right time period. But since I've never seen Ocean Girl nor heard of it before...
Edit: To make it easier, the actress from the last image is Canadian.
Animorphs?
Nope, not Animorphs either.
No teenage main characters in this show.
The main character is in fact in the first image I posted...
Is that from Andromeda?
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...
Well I don't see Richard Dean Anderson either and I would have guessed Stargate SG1, but I think it could be V.
Nope, not V or any form of Stargate. But you're at least narrowing things down. This guy approves.
Continuum?
I don't want to go through all of Lexa Doig's tv shows.
Oh, I think its TekWar. in the first shot one of the characters looks like Greg Evigan and that is a tv show they share.
Congratulations.
cool. Never saw the show, but I put the link with Greg Evigan and Lexa Doir.
Next:
Bull?
The guy on the left looks like a young David McCallum.
A Man From UNCLE?
The guy on the left looks like Brian Thompson to me. But younger than anything I remember seeing him in...
Falcon Crest?
I think that was Brian Thompson, but he was a guest star here. One of the main characters is the other person.
all (wrong) so far
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?
Quote from: VampireWombat on Thu 30/08/2018 13:06:08
Moonlighting.
Correct. I tried to pick a picture where it would be harder to recognize Bruce Willis. didnt think someone would use the pictures of Cybill Shepherd in the background. lol
Well done on hiding an actor like Bruce Willis in plain sight.
I certainly didn't recognize him!
Huh. I didn't recognize him as Bruce Willis either.
Someone else can take my turn since I went last time.
Could be the stuntman?
Quote from: Kweepa on Thu 30/08/2018 16:58:57
Could be the stuntman?
That is true. Well if so it was a stand in for Bruce Willis.
Oh, too late... but I also recognized her, not Bruce... (laugh) (roll)
Either way VampireWombat got it correct but passed his turn to anyone that would like to.
I'll take the turn then. :smiley:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/PCB0Vty.png[/imgzoom]
Legend of the Seeker
That was fast. :shocked:
I LOVE the character of Zeddicus. :grin:
Your turn, Gurok. :wink:
Yes, I was going to point him out in the pic above. I also really love the other Renaissance productions (Cleopatra 2525, Hercules, Xena).
Here's mine:
Mythbusters? (I doubt it, this looks older.)
Simon Townsend's Wonder World?
Mr. Wizard's World?
No to all. Some good guesses, given the era it's trying to emulate.
It's a comedy series:
Look Around You!
Hey! Snarky got it. Well done. Excellent taste, by the way.
Thanks, Gurok.
Thurok.
To go back for a moment, Look Around You is brilliant and utterly bonkers, and if you haven't seen it you definitely should:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBaVwwuErmU
Another screen:
Fawlty Towers?
Frasier?
(wrong)
But you're not too far off: it's a farce.
Cheers?
Wait, I just noticed Privateer Puddin's post (I was responding to Gurok, didn't see there was another page on the thread). Yes, it is Frasier.
I half suspected that might be the case.
Love that show!
I was honestly starting to question my sanity when you said it
wasn't Frasier.
I recognize that house.
Is it Sabrina the teenage witch?
Nope.
Mr. Merlin?
Nope.
I think I have seen that house also, but not sure where.
First thing that came to mind was Charmed, or possibly Mork & Mindy
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.
Nope, nope, and nope.
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.
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.
Nope and nope. I like the detective work going on!
The house is the Cook Mansion, in Piru, California.
It's appeared in lots of films and TV shows...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piru_Mansion#Film_and_television
Murder She Wrote?
Married with Children?
Charmed?
Nope, Nope, Nope.
A hint broken down to 3 pieces:
Spoiler
It's a bad remake
Spoiler
of one of the best tv shows
Spoiler
mentioned recently in this thread
I haven't seen it and didn't know it had a remake even, but I'm getting distinct Fawlty Towers vibes. Then I saw your hint so I'm 100% sure.

That explains why I recognize it. I probably saw it in The X-Files.
Since that is John Laraquette (spelling?) I say it is Payne. Which was a remake of Fawlty Towers.

Yup! Snarky originally saying no when I said Frasier lead me to dark places which included the payne of watching Payne.
That last screen is the remake of the duck and car breaking down. The reveal is awful
It was more from research than from watching it.
Next:
Mr. Merlin?
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)

But who was the better character - Illyria, or Fred? :confused:
I was really sad to see Fred die :cry: but then I loved Illyria, who was completely different from Fred. :smiley:
Your turn. :smiley:
Been too long since I watched Angel to have an opinion on Fred vs Illyria. Once Upon a Time is the last thing I saw Amy Acker in...
This is vaguely related to Angel. At least that some episodes featured an actress who was in an episode of Angel...

If I'm correct, it seems the episode I'm thinking of originally aired 17 years ago tomorrow.
Nope, not Lexx. :wink:
Ah. It's the Xena episode The Bitter Suite. I thought she looked kind of like Callisto.
That's it. :grin:
And cookies to you, for naming the episode. VERY emotional, with Xena and Gabriel working out their conflict! :cry:
I picked the musical episode, hoping to fool you all, since the characters are not quite 'themselves'. Gotta love Callisto as The Trickster. :cheesy:
Here she is, in action - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG0eEKQtUxA
Your turn Wombat. :wink:
I admit, I only vaguely remember the episode. But enough that I knew I had seen that background with tile/checkerboard floor before. But it didn't click until you said Lexx was wrong.
Okay, this show is vaguely related. I'm sorry.

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.
X-Files?
Nope. As far as I know Bruce Campbell was in only one episode of the X-Files. And if someone from Hercules and Xena directed an episode, I'm not aware of it.
Bruce Campbell is the main character of this show.
And this show was filmed in New Zealand, not Canada.
Bruce + Verne = Jack of all Trades
Yes, yes it is.

I think I know what it is. But the thing that I think it is, is something I can never remember the name of, and can't find the name of either. >:(
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.

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.

The Drunk and On Drugs Happy Funtime Hour
That's a good title for anything
Starzinger?
Nope
Oooo, fun. Looks like a cheesey 70s or 80s sci fi anime. Doesn't look like Voltron or Galaxy Express to me.
Mazinger Z?
or maybe captain future?!
Ulysses 31?
If I'm good, anyone can post a new picture.
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.
Allow me to post a show I never really hear anyone talk about but I personally really like:
Looks like I really killed this topic. If anyone wants me to post another screenshot please let me know. Otherwise someone else feel free to post a new one.
Post another screenshot and/or give some clues. (nod)
Here's another screenshot. As you can see the show is not actually in black and white. Only the first part of the second season is.
Oh. Master of None? I think I watched 2 or 3 episodes.
You are correct. I suppose you didn't like it much as you only watched a few episodes? I think it's a pretty special show with lots of laughs but also sad and hard hitting bits. It's such a weird mix of the two.
Idunno, I just couldn't get into it.
[imgzoom]http://ags.pics/vPDN.jpg[/imgzoom]
Lexx. Season 4 I believe.
I've just recently started rewatching it as well, so this is quite coincidental if I'm right.
Yes, it is a coincidence in that regard. Of course I thought this episode had been posted in this thread last month, but ended up being an episode of Xena instead...

nope. the post its ;) didn't even notice the flannel shirt ^^
Stranger Things?
nope.
um, i think i remember this as being like a dream sequence or something? sopranos or breaking bad perhaps?
Hmm. Something suddenly makes me want to guess that it's Dexter.
nope and nope. Think more... international
That's Dark 8-)
Indeed it is!
Glow? Beat?
No.
Um, im going to go for a wild guess here and say breaking bad again, my reasoning is anas might have seen me mention it before but also i remember (i cant remember her character name) having an obsession with anything purple/lavender. The pic anas is so obscure it might be hinting that color lol I dunno, worth a try :D
Wrong.
No idea but thanks for the new desktop wallpaper! I was getting bored of my old one.
I'm surprised no one was able to guess so far...
The wallpaper is the biggest clue..
anyway.. here's another one:
American Horror Story?
Twin Peaks?
_
No and no.
The Sinner 1st season!
We have a winner! Nice one Cleanic ;-D
Deutschland 83. That scene was hard...
Correct! It was
How about this one:
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?
Stranger Things?
Definitely a homage to some of the old cinema adventure classics. But not Stranger Things.
Terra Nova?
That looks too new to be Earth 2, but those vehicles sure like they come directly from it. (roll)
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.
I'm now thinking it might be Lost in Space.
Oh, they finally remade Lost in Space? Personally I think the last film was not that bad, so its failure in spinning off to TV land was unfortunate.

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 just going to make this one fairly easy.

One actor plays two important characters.
and

It is a very recent show.
Counterpart? I watched the first couple of eps of that, haven't got around to more.
It's not Counterpart - and because I haven't seen Counterpart, I can't even tell you how close or far of you are.
I'm trying to find pictures that tell you something about the show but that turns out to be rather difficult.
So, here's a picture of
Spoiler
the only actor I knew before I saw the show.
That might help.
Also:
Spoiler
It was a short lived show.
I'm sure someone has seen the show...
Black Mirror?
I have to assume that Jack wants to solve this without hints, because I have no idea how one could consider Black Mirror a
Spoiler
short lived show.
(laugh)
Wrong answer, sorry.
That looks like Vinnie Jones there on the left, I'm guessing either The Cape or Deception.
If I'm right, someone take my turn.
EDIT: Considering you said it's very recent and one actor for 2 characters, Deception is the way to go here.
Yup, no hints. You need to check your javascript privilege.
That is indeed Vinnie Jones and Deception is correct. Your turn, Superkumi - or anyone elses, because Superkumi doesn't want theirs.

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.
[imgzoom]http://ags.pics/yGl4.jpg[/imgzoom]
That's Farscape, or Lexx, my bet is on Farscape.
Again, take my turn, just keeping the ball rolling here!
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.

Let's take another trip in '90's:
_
aladdin? Hercules? Xena?
Not, not and not again.

Gulliver's Travels?
Not.
_
Stargate SG-1?
Such CG.
The Adventures of Sinbad?
Not.
Ok, let's getting a bit closer...

_
Zena ? ???
Sorry, I meant "Xena: Warrior Princess" ... forgot how to spell it and I never seen more than a few scenes here and there. :-[
BeastMaster?
(Yeah, never saw a full episode, but it's as much 90s as Farscape, both starting in 1999.)
Defenitely one of the cheesy 90s (maybe 80s) fantasy shows, so maybe The Lost World (That show had 3 seasons? Seriously?) or Tarzan?

You should definitively try watching a full episode some time, it's a great fun series that does a good job of being campy without feeling stupid.
Quote from: Sinitrena on Sat 12/01/2019 16:52:01
or Tarzan?
You got it, Sinitrena! It's
Tarzan, The Epic Adventures (1996) to be precise! A pretty series that crossover Tarzan with others Edgar Burroughs's fantasy/sci-fi characters!
Sinitrena, your turn!
_
Next one:
Is that Tom Cruise's stunt double?
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.
Edit: Stupid me, forgot the new picture...
It's not White Collar, is it? ???
It's not White Collar, but White Collar made me watch this show.
...helpful or confusing, you decide! :P (laugh)
Guess it depends in what meaning...
I'll shoot: American Horror Story? just because... (laugh)
Chuck? Because of Matt Bomer, and I seem to vaguely recall something like the first shot from that show (his superagent character being superthrown out of a supercomputer superroom).

That's a fairly acurate description and the scene the first pic comes from. Chuck is correct, your turn.
If you'd asked me to remember anything from that show, I don't think I could have told you a single thing. But with a little bit of prompting, a good deal starts coming back. Was Zachary Levi always as tall as he looks in Mrs. Maisel and Shazam?

BTW, I just realized that in Chuck he was playing opposite Adam Baldwin, who's even taller. That's probably why I never realized.
I wanted to like Fresh Meat, but I found it pretty dull unfortunately :(
Next:
Hint: this is connected with the last show...
Isn't that the woman who plays The Master in Doctor Who?
The last image looks kind of like Michelle Gomez. I've never seen or heard of it before a minute or so ago, but I'm guessing Green Wing.
Quote from: Danvzare on Thu 31/01/2019 16:01:36

This is up there with "

No, not that either.
There's an actor connection with Fresh Meat :=

That's the one!

I still call Eggman "Robotnik". (laugh)

Yep. That didn't take long :O
Oh, I thought you were going to go and say it was wrong... the Background gave it away. (laugh)

Uhm, seems no one knows it. Well, it's
Commissario Montalbano!
In the United States, it is broadcast on MHz Networks' WorldView Channel
in the UK on BBC Four
in Australia was shown on Special Broadcasting Service
and other 20 foreign countries
Well, anyone take the turn!
_
Yeah, sorry, not familiar, Frighter.
Here's a hopefully easy one: One of the bigger "watercooler" shows of this winter:
Oh, I had actually seen a few episodes of it on TV. But couldn't think of the name. :-[
No idea about the new show.
Screencap #2, hidden for the faint of heart:
Spoiler
Showing the character names is a bit too much of a giveaway:
YOU
S1E1: 'Pilot'
10:34 into the episode.
No, that's not it.
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.
What makes the main character likeable? Sounds gross.
For example, Dexter is killing bad people (at least to start with).
Hey, technically the rules are 'a guess should be complete though mentioning the title, season and episode numbers as well'. I'm just playing by them =p
Quote from: Kweepa on Wed 27/02/2019 00:36:54
What makes the main character likeable? Sounds gross.
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.
This time with some costuming hints, hopefully.
Is that the back of Nathan Fillion's head?
I'm going to guess The Rookie.
It's not Nathan Fillion. Show is set in Kentucky.
Justified or maybe Sons of Anarchy?
Yeah it's Justified.
I'm fairly certain the whole point of Justified is to continue the main actor's character from Deadwood.
Probably pretty easy:
Didn't respond cuz lazy but that looks like Clarkson in the first picture, combined with the goings on... The Grand Tour (or maybe a later episode of Top Gear).
Dang, didn't see this. It is The Grand Tour.
I'll leave that to whoever wants a go at screenshotting a show.
Okay, here's the next one:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/899M4uc.png[/imgzoom]
I watch brawling go manga tv show.
I'm sure Brawling Go must a nice manga, but I'm afraid this isn't it.
Here's another shot:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/Cvfwklb.png[/imgzoom]
Not sure it's the show I'm thinking of, but Altered Carbon?
The first screenshot really looks familiar somehow and the two together makes me want to guess Portlandia for some reason.
No to both.
The Good Place?
Future Man?
Haha, I knew that screenshot would trip people! None of the guesses are correct so far.
Here's another shot:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/KktZVeY.png[/imgzoom]
Okay, here's another screenshot featuring the main cast:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/Qsy1Zsz.png[/imgzoom]
Man I know that 'eat it' sign. Kinda looks like Adam Ruins Everything holding up that paper. Since that's on TruTV too... to heck with it. Is it Adam Ruins Everything?
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.

I really loved Series 1. But Series 2 wasn't quite as good.
They tried really hard to make the story about immigrants, but I still enjoyed it. But yes, not as good as the first season.
Probably pretty easy:
The Walking Dead?
Sorry, that's the only AMC show I know. (laugh)
No.
Bill and Ted's Excellent Swap Meet?
You can always watch Game of Thrones.
AKA superhero trope Arya :=
Halt and Catch Fire?
Correct.
For a change let's try animated:
Was there a show of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Better call Saul?
_
Quote from: Jack on Fri 03/05/2019 19:31:48

Haha. But no.
Bonanza? :P (really, I don't know)
_
'twas Killing Eve. I'll leave it for someone else to suggest a show.
I said Bonanza for joking, but let's go western...
_
I know it's not Deadwood but I'm going to say Deadwood anyway because why not, and also the movie came out the other day and I'm really excited to watch it. That's all. Please proceed with the riddle :-D
I know she looks familiar. But I generally don't watch westerns... So Wild Wild West?
I just realized this is guess the tv, not movie. So definitely not Wild Wild West. Brisco County Jr.?
Quote from: VampireWombat on Wed 05/06/2019 12:57:21
Brisco County Jr.?
You got it, VampireWombat! Indeed is
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. with the old good Bruce Campbell in this 90's action-comedy western with some steampunk!
How did you recognized, VampireWombat?
_
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...
On a completely unrelated note:
Our Charly?
Nope.
Different strokes?
Nope.
Huh, I figured someone would have at least recognized the actor. But okay....
Well to me it's end result of what it would look like if Pauly Shore, Jackie Chan and Danny Devito had a baby :-D
Interesting...
Major hint: He played one of the main characters in a 1981 movie with Kenny Baker (R2D2) and several men who played Ewoks.
And the other guy in the last picture was in the movie Spaced Invaders...
One thing is recognizing the actor, the other is actually could name him/her... (laugh)
After a bit of digging, I come to The wizard... never seen or heard of it before though
Well, knowing he was in Time Bandits could be enough.
But yes, it is indeed
That was actually where I started. lol
Anyway, next: (hope I haven't done this one yet, I'm running out of easy available shows (roll) )
Derrick?
_
No...
Better Call Saul?
(I thought it could be a tricky flashback to his childhood which they do a few times from what I've seen)
No, but here's a tip... when I saw you replied I thought "oh, he knows..." (laugh)
Hmmm... there doesn't seem to be anyone driving the car...
Were there ever TV shows of Christine (color and make of car is wrong though) or Maximum Overdrive (or Trucks as the original short story was called)?
Don't about if those shows exist, but if they do it's not this one. ;)
But you're right, it doesn't seem to be anyone driving the car.
Let's beat some dust...
Top Of The Lake?
No, but you getting closer...
Both shows share 5 actors and started the same year. ;)
And this poor cop is not having a good day on this episode:
Bonnie & Clyde?
Now you not only you moved very far away, there are also no actors sharing the same show... and the show isn't about bad guys, even though it needs them to function. ;)
There are snakes on this episode:
Seems like I need more screenshots.. guess it's time I find some faces if snakes don't help.
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Sun 09/06/2019 13:48:53
there are also no actors sharing the same show...
Are you sure about that?
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?
I meant that Bonnie&Clide had nothing to do with the show I posted... Not that it had nothing in common with Top of the lake. ;)
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. :)
Is everyone else watching from the side lines? ???
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Sun 09/06/2019 20:18:12
Is everyone else watching from the side lines? ???
I'm watching, but I have no idea what the programme is. :confused:
Riding in Cars with Snakes?
Yeah, I have no clue. Also just watching.
Well, by now you should know the year the show started, where it was filmed and that it's a "cop show"... ;) And that the episode features snakes. Probably my favorite of the episodes too... :-D
Edit: It's now Google/duckduckgo searchable, if you can just use write all the clues in a nice "makes sense sentence"...
Main character and a few more snakes...
I tried searching "TV show Australia Policeman bitten by snake" but there are so many real life cases of people bitten by snakes the every result was a news report... Including one poor woman who was bitten while on the toilet by a snake that had decided to curl up behind it...
If you remove the bitten by snake, and add the year, you might get a hit :D
Might need to redo the way the wording flows too.
Maybe another face will help?
The year we are talking about is 2013, right?
Yup (nod)
From IMDBs trivia box...

Where even is the fun in googling images though? Unless the only reason you play is so you can post the next screenshot (laugh)
OK, an easy one now (I think), from one of my favourite series ever:
I'm 90% sure that's Clancy Brown. Especially since I watched an episode of the 90s Outer Limits with him today. I'm also equally sure of what series this is. But since I won the last round of the movie thread, I'll let someone else guess.
But if I'm right, this series has the daughter of a musician from Texas in it.
Just cause of the eyes... Supernatural?
I don't know if he's in it at all but a shot in the dark:
The Good Place?
VampireWombat, it is indeed Clancy Brown :)
Cassie and Mandle, nope and nope!
Sleepy Hollow?
Quote from: Mandle on Tue 11/06/2019 09:21:20
Sleepy Hollow?
Nooope!
Will wait until the afternoon and post another screenshot, maybe a clue ;)
Good Omens?
Quote from: Mandle on Tue 11/06/2019 10:13:47
Good Omens?
No, but they both have a "good vs. evil, dark vs. light" theme in common.
Here's another one:
American Gods?
Well, seeing Michael J. Anderson of Twin Peaks fame confirms it is indeed Carnivale. With Meat Loaf's daughter in the first season.
Quote from: VampireWombat on Tue 11/06/2019 13:42:56
Well, seeing Michael J. Anderson of Twin Peaks fame confirms it is indeed Carnivale. With Meat Loaf's daughter in the first season.
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...
Your turn then, Mr Wombat!
This has someone else I saw in a different episode of the 1990s Outer Limits yesterday.
Maybe this will get a guess out of Cassie.
Yes, Clancy Brown is in this.
Is that Earth 2?
Indeed it is.
I feel tricked into getting back into the poster position again... so an easy one? (laugh)
Dharma and Greg?
Thank you, Jack! (nod)
Reminds me of SeaQuest.
I figured it was SeaQuest. It looks like one of the mini subs they used at times. And the Sci-Fi logo makes it even more likely...
SeaQuest it is. Quite a good show, at least the first season is. It had some production difficulties later on, of the executive kind.
Has a connection to the previous show. Should be super easy.
Ah, I recognize the actor from Seaquest. And I know what show this is, despite not watching it in years...
Just add an N to the badge...
It's Don Franklin, who is also in 7 Days, another cool sci-fi show I posted recently.
NCIS?
You are both correct. I'll let you arm wrestle over it, (laugh)

Stargate SG1?
One of the Dune TV adaptations?
Huh. That explains why some of it looks familiar, but I couldn't quite place it. I did find an image collage that has the last image in it. Confirming it Syfy Channel's Dune miniseries. Now to get a working vcr to watch my vhs copy...
Quote from: Galen on Tue 25/06/2019 02:12:04

Yes, the one called Dune.
Uhm, seems the good Galen is busy. If there's no objection...
Let's go classic:
_
No idea what the show is, except for the obvious Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliot) in there.
But it looks like it could be a great poster for Brexit with the confused fuddy-duddy and the snarky youngster being all like "Soooo?!"
He is Elliot (what kind of name is "Denholm"?).

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.
Dr. Who?
The last screenshot makes me think Garth Marenghi's Darkplace for some reason...
Fine, I'll end the suffering.
I'm 99% sure it's Hammer House of Horror.
Correct, VampireWombat! It's HHH indeed, an horror antology in the classic british style!
(Laura Hunt, the one in the last screenshot is Peter Cushing)
_
Okay, this is from a tv series I'm currently re-watching.
Little Britain? :D
Nope. This is an American tv series. But one of the main characters was played by an actor from England*.
* Not pictured, the actor from England.
No? How about we play a little Estrada or Nada*?
* - No, this isn't from My Name Is Earl
I'm pretty sure this is My Name is Earl.

Yup, I found it.
It's called The Neighbors. Never heard of it and it looks beyond wacky!
New pic coming soon!
Give this man a handshake.
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.
I saw recently a replay of this '90s series on local tv...

Is that Matt Frewer?
No idea what the show is, since he's been in so many 90's shows... The Outer Limits? Psi Factor?
Correct Casiebsg, it's
Psi Factor indeed!
... and the man near Frewer is the great writer Harlan Ellison.
I liked
Psi Factor, it was one of the last good series of the tv syndicate era...
_
I like Psi Factor also, but hate Mat Frewer...
Iøm not home at this time, so anyone can take my turn. (nod)
Stranger Things?
No.
Lost?
I know this, it must be Chernobyl! That was an amazing scene.
Correct, it's Chernobyl. What a brilliant show. I've seen it twice and still can't get it out of my head. I give it 3.6 roentgens.

Yay! Someone can take my turn, bit busy now. I saw the image and I just had to react, amazing tv-series, and a super interesting topic.

Quantum Leap?
Tales from the Darkside?
Not.

Poltergeist: The Legacy?
American Horror Story?
Quote from: VampireWombat on Sat 26/10/2019 18:48:19
Poltergeist: The Legacy?
Correct, WampireWombat! Late '90s horror series!
I remember it mostly for his appareance:
_
Interesting. I only watched an episode or two.
I'm not using my computer today, so someone else can take my turn.
Okay, guess I'll take my turn after all.
Ugly Betty?
Nope. This is from the 90s. And no, it's not Yo soy Betty, la fea either.
Out with any subtlety.
Since I'm not sure if I'll be using my computer tomorrow.
Buffy the vampire slayer?
Nope. This didn't last nearly as long.
I've been unable to log in to ags.pics for a couple of days, so I have no new screenshots...
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.
OT: Okay, so it's not just me having a problem with ags.pics :(
The Ghost And Mrs. Muir? (if there was a remake)
Nope.
Come on Mandle, don't fail me. I'm pretty sure Obscurus Lupa was still part of Channel Awesome when she reviewed this. And it was one of her favorite tv series.
Here's the "title card" with the name edited out.
I guess no one has seen Biggles: Adventures in Time?
This series also shares the same name as a 1947 movie with June Lockhart of Troll fame in it...
But fine, here's the voice actor of Bumblebee as a ratman.
I don't know what more to give...
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.
After some research...
She Wolf Of London (No idea this had ever been a thing but looks like fun)
Julia Roberts reference is "Mystical Pizza"...
Uh! I remember the pilot episode watched ages ago, it was poorly funny so I didn't watch anymore! (wrong)
_
It's certainly not a great tv series, but it is fun at times. I enjoyed it enough when I watched it on the Sci Fi Channel to buy the series.
A very blurry image sorry...
... but probably quite recognizable to people who saw the show...

Land of the Lost!

As did I!!! Especially that opening song and sequence... Even as a kid I could tell it was fake and cheesy but still thought it was fun and got me excited.
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.
BEWARE OF SLEESTAK!!!Over to you...
Ah. No wonder I didn't recognize it. I only saw the reboot from the early 90s...
And I refuse to speak of that thing with Will Ferrell in it.

Cold case?

Damn, I know that actor, not no idea what his name is. :-[
I know I've seen parts of that show before, but no idea what's it called... I have this nagging feeling that it's a lawyer's or maybe cops show.
The actor in the first screenshot I think is Brendan Gleeson. The one in the second looks like a really old Bruce Dern?
I think you might be right with the 1st actor, the one I think I saw before. (nod)
My guess is
Spoiler
Mr.Mercedes ?
I've hidden it cause, if it's right, I think lorenzo should take the prize, as I would have never come to this guess without him. ;)
Mr. Mercedes it is!
Just finished up the 3rd season last week. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of Stephen King and detective/serial killer type shows. It's pretty twisted!

Thanks Cassie, but honestly, I wouldn't have guessed. In fact, I don't think I've ever heard about that series before!
I think I had seen a TV trailer for it. Can't be anything else, cause I have never seen a single episode of this show. But it did caught my interest and I thought it looked good... and then I forgot about it... (roll)
Okay then I'll take this one, and hope it's an easy round... I'll post a pic for each incorrect guess (though with min 1 hour apart) ;)
Chicago Fire?
Nope, but good guess :)
You earn another non descriptive picture... the next one will surely give it away to anyone who knows the show
Okay then lets get this over..
Dexter?
Not Dexter...
And as promised, new screen.
Bosch?
Nope... where's VW when you need him?
APB?
Still not. This should have been guessed 2 days ago, cause I've already posted all main characters (except this last one), plus a major clue!
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...
*shrugs* The Closer?
I knew you could save the day... very very close. (laugh)
Some kind of The Closer/Donnie Darko spinoff?
Fine... Apparently it is a spinoff that I didn't know of. Major Crimes.
It is Major Crimes! :-D
It's not exactly a spinoff though. The only thing that changed in the show was the main actor and the name of the show. (laugh)
*shrugs* Imdb said it was a spinoff, so that's good enough for me.
Someone else can take my turn.
Okay, this should be easy....
_
Vikings?
Not.
_
Wolf Hall? Reign?
Looks like it's set in the Renaissance period. I've never seen it, but is it Medici?
Correct Lorenzo! Indeed is
Medici: masters of Florence on Netflix.
_
All right, next:
MacGyver?
That was way too easy... and I come to late... then again I'm happy that I won't be stuck with the thread again. (laugh)
That was pretty easy, yeah. :P
I came across my old DVDs of this series the other day. For some reason I had to import it from Japan (or Taiwan? I forget) way back when. Now the whole thing is just a google-click away. Truly an age of wonders…
Sleepy Hollow?
Nope.
OK, fair warning about this next screencap. It's all sorts of upsetting and nsfw:
Spoiler
I know for a fact that several people active on the forums are fans of this show.
Maybe you'll recognize this guy…
I have no idea, but I'm more and more intrigued with each screenshot!
:-D
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.
Kingdom?
You're right: Lars von Trier's Riget (The Kingdom).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryw5vGQjOWM
Stephen King did the remake series, which I've heard was not particularly good.
Ah, that last shot I recognized the actor and guessed the show. (nod) but I've only ever seen bits and pieces, never the entire show. I was too young when it aired on PT television to grasp it. An haven't seen it since.
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.

Red Dwarf!!!
Yes!!!
Damn, I can't remember a western episode. maybe I should binge rewatch it. (laugh)
It's this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunmen_of_the_Apocalypse
Casualty?

Casualty?
Yes, a few I think... but that is not the name of the show.
(laugh)
Dr.Who ?
Oh crap. I forgot about this. I will put new screenie up today as I am currently working my way through this show again.
Supernatural?

I'm actually more inclined to a circus for some odd reason... (laugh)
This is most likely something I've never heard of. But I'm guessing anyway. Dark Shadows?

And, I only just got your reference, but it is not Monty Pythons Flying Circus, although this show would never have existed without their invention of random and insane comedy.
Yes, unfortunately the only British insane show I can think of is that one. So ... we need brits to decipher this one. ;)

Yup! I am pretty sure that anyone who watched the show would remember the first shot of the bus going off the cliff, so that means nobody here has seen it?! This must be rectified!
There is a playlist or two on YouTube and possibly higher quality ones somewhere else around.

I only recall having watched the odd episode here and there, but never the whole thing. I have watched all of Bottom though, because for some reason it was broadcast in Spain in its entirety. God, that was absolutely deranged.
Anyway, I won't be able to post a new screenshot until Saturday, so either somebody take my turn, or I'll post something once I'm back home.
Alright!

Any ideas?
I have no clue, sorry.
A wild guess...
The Detectorists?
Nope, though that's a good one too.
Hint: This series shares a universe with a movie and another TV show that a number of people on the forum have seen.
What We Do In The Shadows?
Quote from: Snarky on Mon 06/01/2020 19:17:06

The Detectorists is such a lovely show. Rare to find such a nice mix of cynical and yet heart-warming humour.
You're on the right track, but that's not the title of this series.
Ahhhh, I actually saw a clip from this show with Satan at the shopping center instead of Santa because the manager was dyslexic and spelled the sign wrong...
Wellington Paranormal!

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert?
That is a BINGO!
(He did a parody movie, directed by Peter Jackson, when he went to New Zealand and showed it on his program. He really looks like Tony Stark with the beard though.)
This might be, for my money, the best new show of last year, though few have seen it:
More picture
Dunno... Chicago Fire?
(wrong)
For All Mankind ?
Yesss! It's so good!
(I thought someone might recognize NASA ground control with everyone's favorite Nazi rocket scientist.)
I did, that's what I used to find the show "tv show nasa huston" ... and first link was a show from nov 2019... I figured it probably fit the "new show from last year" (laugh)
Haven't seen it, probably a god bet once I've caught up with Supernatural. (roll)
Anyway, I'll go see if I can find a show to post. Incoming... ;)
EDIT: And I found some more shows, picked one I don't think has been posted before (at least searching the topic produced no results)
Oops, forgot about this... :-[
APB?
Life
Morgan got it. It's Life. (nod)
Someone else can take my go, as I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment.
Had this one on the back burner, so I'll gladly jump in:
Hope it's not too easy!
True Detective?
Nice avatar, btw.
The first season of True Detective hit the nail on the head, but I got tired of the second and so stopped watching. I hear season 3 is good though, so I will probably start again at some point.
Should be pretty easy:
The IT Crowd?
Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley it is.

No, that's not a Canadian show. This ought to be a giveaway:
OK, no more excuses. We need that W, bro!
Ahem. Let me point out that there's a pretty big hint in the last picture.
Is it, could it be, might it be, surely not... perchance, Letterkenny?

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 probably shouldn't bring up Galactica 1980...
You took my words right out of my mind, VW! 8-0 Funny, I could have actually posted that one, since I do have the episode somewhere... but I try to remove that show from my mind to be honest. (laugh)
MASH or (gasp, speaking of removing from mind), "After MASH"?
(It's way too HD though, and Jamie Farr is way too young. I suspect it's some CGI black magic, or that's not him.)

Yeah, his face really looks like a young Jamie Farr, but I just realized his arms are not hairy enough, or hairy at all for that matter.
I tried watching The Outsider, some new series adapted from S. King crap.
Gave up on ep5 (wrong)

Quote from: Cassiebsg on Sat 21/03/2020 09:01:26

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.
You're a mod, maybe you could change the topic to be more clear? ;)
I'm not sure if no one threw a new guess because they don't know or the site's been down most of the day yesterday... anyway new pic and if this one doesn't help I'll either have to get close up of the main characters or start throwing text hints. (or both (laugh) )
Murphy Brown?
Thanks Mandle! (nod) You have the ball now. :-D
this is from the last episode in season 11... from 2018. ;)
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.
Congrats, Mandle.
Awesome! Are the new season(s) any good? I used to love the old show but I wouldn't want to watch the new one if it was lame.
New pic coming soon!
Sorta lame. :-\
Kind of: fit the old jokes in with a shoe horn. It's watchable but I don't really feel I would have missed much if I hadn't. (wtf)

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.

I can't think of anything witty. So, I'll just go with a sitcom I've been watching lately.
Welcome Back Kotter?
Nope. But an episode I watched yesterday could be somewhat connected.
The link between the two. Kind of.
Loved that show. Head of the class?
That is correct. I thought I'd have to post from the season(s) with Billy Connolly before anyone would get it.
For those who don't get the link. The above picture is from a production of Grease. And John Travolta was in Welcome Back Kotter.
here is one. sorry for the bad quality of the picture. it is an older show

no correct answers yet. no its not chips or starsky and hutch.
another pic. it is hard to find pics of it so i have to grab from short clips.

Spoiler
in the first image the middle person is still very active in a very popular tv series also in law enforcement (although since this is an older show he is much older now.) the female is also still active but with bit parts.
Blue Thunder?
All have been good guesses but thats not it either. Have a feeling no one has seen this show.
It is hard finding images like I mentioned so I am going to share a publicity photo with the 3 main characters. This should make it a lot easier. small hint the show only had 2 seasons.

Uhm... never seen it, but after a bit of search and recognizing Mark Harmon (barely might I add!) I found that it's 240-Robert. :-D
This makes me wonder, that maybe I should start watching old shows again. ;)

have never watched it but those balls are so iconic that I recognized them immediately, the same way someone who's never watched Twin Peaks would probably recognize the Red Room... So it's fair that you got it first ;)

Quote from: lorenzo on Sat 18/04/2020 21:52:28

Yup. Basically every famous British musician of the 70s and early 80s performed on this show.
I did some detective work to find a show where David Bowie performed in the '70s and I maybe I've found it. Is it The Kenny Everett Video Show?
I've never heard of it before, but it's the right decade (1978) and has plenty of British bands playing in it.
Yes, that is definitely Kenny Everett! Kaptain Kremmen cartoon shot there. Loved it!

I've never heard of it before, but it's the right decade (1978) and has plenty of British bands playing in it.
That's the one. A huge part of my childhood. Over to you!

Miami Vice?
Correct!
rofl (laugh) Damn, I hoped it was trap.
Empire?
Community?
After a brief glance yesterday I was going to guess it. But the way the faces looked made me not sure. The blanket curtain and NBC logo make it more likely, though.

That was actually my initial guess but I changed it for some reason.
Yes, VWgets it. (nod)
I have it here, but haven't actually watched any episodes yet. Is it worth while?
@Mandle, you should have gone with your gut! (laugh) Trust the gut!! Use the gut, Mandle!
It's hard to say if it's worthwhile or not. The first I saw of it was a zombie episode. If not for seeing that first, I might not have gotten into it.
Here's something that has been guessed several times, but wasn't right any of the guesses I saw...
Is that Better Call Saul? I think I recognise the actor but not the setting.
Right actor, wrong show.
Not from 1992.
I guess I'll take pity and pick up this one: What We Do in the Shadows.
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.
I didn't really need pity. I intentionally chose screenshots to make it seem like an office sitcom. lol.
But yes, you are quite correct.
I got a kick out of this scene because I'm fairly confident I've been to the place where they filmed it:
Looks like a fun party.
I'm not sure the pigs agrees... (roll)
No idea about the movie though.
(TV show)
That poor pig has suffered enough!
It's
Kingdom, a south-korean historical horror drama (!) on Netflix.

I got a kick out of this scene because I'm fairly confident I've been to the place where they filmed it:
So you was in South Korea, Snarky?
_
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…
… 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.)
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.
Ok, after the east let's go west!
_
Fargo?
Not.
_
Oh. Is this Wynonna Earp? I barely finished the first episode, so it's just a guess.
Though, searching Wynonna Earp Badge does bring up something similar to the previous picture...
Correct, VampireWombat! It is
Wynonna Earp from the comic book series!
_
Now and Again?
You are correct. John Goodman in the very short time period he played the main character.
Tricksy Hobbitses. He tries to trickses us, but it didn't work, did it, precious?
No it didn't.I'll never forget the episode where the "virus" was eating the ink from all books around the world. This was before so much was digital.
Lol. I don't even have to guess what this is. But I'm going to keep quiet...
Is that Micheal Keaton?
Spoiler
The male actor in is 11 years younger than Michael Keaton.
And a completely useless hint: I'm pretty sure a dvd from this series is currently in my Blu Ray Player.
I'm pretty sure (99,99%) that's Ben Browder and Claudia Black... (laugh)
"And a completely useless hint:" A CD of that show's sound track rests inside my DVD player. ;)
Geez! Fine I'll take it. It's Farscape, episode s2eq6 "The Locket". (roll)
I'll get back late with a new show. :P
Since VW doesn't want to say I'm right...
But Jack's the one who posted the image, not me. But if you want my confirmation... Yeah, it's that episode of Farscape. And if it helps any, the dvd I had in my Blu Ray Player at that time was from the first season.
Oh... since you were giving hints I assumed your had posted. :-[

Oops. Because you knew for sure I didn't confirm.
Great show, isn't it?
It just holds place along BG in my favorite tv shows of all time... :) Not sure which one is first though... Farscape did got ahead BSG on a couple seasons, but then it fall back slightly again.
Anyway, next image:
America's Next Top Model?
Nope
Nope... ;)
I'm running out of images where the main characters aren't in the shot. 8-0
I... I can't do it. I can't say the word. F...
No. Nope. Can't do it.
The episode is "The One With A Donor"
Friends?
I'm still saddened that I immediately recognized the apartment. Yes, I watched the show in the 90s, but I stopped before it ended. And only watched 1 season and the series finale in recent years...
Jack can have the "win" if he wants it since I refused to say the name.
Friends is pretty much a "you have to have lived as a young adult at the the same time" show. Seinfeld is timeless.
LOL
Yeah, I figured the background would be too revealing. But was almost impossible to find shots where the main characters aren't in. (laugh) Even the second I posted you can see Rachel's shoulder and hair on the left... and Snarky once identified Roger Moore by his shoulder... (laugh)
Your turn... VW or Jack... (nod)
Fine...
No guesses? I pity the fool. (most likely not the same episode).
Blossom?
I am both curious and scared to know how you guessed it right.
Quote from: VampireWombat on Thu 18/06/2020 14:46:41
I am both curious and scared to know how you guessed it right.
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.
Anyway, someone else can take this round.

Correct, Dayowlron! I could be severe asking "what season?", but no! (laugh)
So you recognize the good Cuba! Someone don't like his acting, for me is decent enough!
Your turn!

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.
I'll pick up the slack.
Earth: Final Conflict?
Non.
Fringe?
Nein.
The Man in the High Castle?
edit: oops, wrong country.
I really thought this would be easier.
Sliders?
Correct.
Ah, well I was close with "Fringe" in a way. Alternate realities and all that.
Oh... :-[
Guess I need to find a new show now... (wtf)
EDIT: Back... and I'm throwing you all a curve ball, so don't hate me for it... but this episode is just the coolest ever!
Will be interesting to see if anyone else knows/follows this show. (laugh)
PS - I got a ton of screen grabs, so I'll post a new pic for every guess, no matter how far off or close by it is. ;)
Wayward Pines?
Sorry, nope.
If Myst was a TV show...
(laugh)
Is it one of those property shows like Location Location Location?
You getting closer, but it's not that one... :)
A Place in the Sun?
Not.
No idea of the show, but I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!!
LOL, it's designed for watching and study sharks, if memory serves me right. (nod)
Is it about the guy that won that "Best Job Ever" contest where you live for a year on a tropical island paradise for free and study the ecology of it in the meanwhile?
Not at all. (laugh)
That looks like George Clarke in that snazzy room. I know he's done a few different property shows, but I'll guess George Clarke's Amazing Spaces?
Bingo Riaise! (nod)
This episode feels like right out of a science fiction show. (laugh)
Some bonus images (this particular episode is
the last one on season 7 (ep. 08), in case anyone is interested)
Spoiler
Oh, I remember seeing the spinning room contraption! Did you see the one in the latest series with the bathroom that disappeared flat behind a wall? The entire kitchen was on some kind of pulley and the bathroom was behind it. Some of the ideas that people come up with are ridiculously clever. (nod)
Anyway, on with the game:
OT: Last season I have seen is 7, maybe I should look for newer episodes. ;-D
Based on the weird looking phone... maybe Hidden figures?
Oh, the newest series of Amazing Spaces was 9.
No, not Hidden Figures.
Looks like a Mindhunter kind of recording device...
Mission Impossible? (I believe there was an attempted reboot in the '80s)
Cold Case?
Nope, nope and nope.
New image:
Stranger Things?
No.
No more guesses? OK, another image then. This is the opening of this episode:
Person of interest?
No. I should probably say it's the opening scene of the episode, not opening titles, just for clarity. ;)
The fact that those look like London double-decker buses is giving me Bodyguard vibes, but I'm pretty sure that's not it... Though that show had some police interview scenes which may have involved a tape recorder... Very tricky one, this!
Silent witness?
Not Bodyguard or Silent Witness. That is indeed London, though.
Hint: Mandle's guess of Stranger Things has been the closest so far.
Dark? (no idea where it's set. Just heard it's similar to Stranger Things in ways)
Didn't realise we'd switched shows since the one with the sub. I think that's Good Omens. The kids with the bikes, the episode could be the zoomout of the motorway that becomes engulfed in flames, the phone could be in the 'nuclear bunker' episode. That'd seem to fit.
Looking for the delete button, as I guessed on an old submission...
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.
Your go, Galen!
Mr. Robot? #Hackerswearblackhoodiecliche (roll)
No, but I like your logic.
Elementary?
Inside No. 9
MorganW got it.
Just based on the film, I'll guess Columbo.
It is Columbo.
Ah! I knew I recognized him and the scene from somewhere... (roll)
Welcome to Paradox?
No.
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.
Non.
Something to do with The Thunderbirds?
Team Knight Rider?
Nein.
Could it be... Automan?
_
No.
Not a Purple Plymouth Prowler, but I'm guessing NightMan anyway.
Nyet.
Hmm. The guy on the right looks familiar, but can't think from what.
Ah well. For lack of a better guess... Black Scorpion?
Nah.
Viper
Loved the show, at least the first season.
Quote from: Jack on Sun 13/09/2020 19:18:48
WTF!!! They finally made the Pulp Fiction/Reservoir Dogs/Blazing Saddles crossover I've been waiting for and nobody told me?!
Next one:
My favourite show of the last few years: Dark
If anyone has yet to see it, please do so now.
That is correct!
(Watch it in German with subtitles, the English dub leaves something to be desired.)
Quote from: Sinitrena on Mon 14/09/2020 10:42:17

Aquaman?
After looking at images, I'm not so sure about my guess... Thundarr the Barbarian?
Not!

The Herculoids!
Correct, Josiah1221!
I love the creature design by the legendary Alex Toth!
_
QuoteI love the creature design by the legendary Alex Toth!

Dark Skies?
Threshold?
Nope... maybe this will help.
That's gotta be Raised by Wolves.
Quote from: Snarky on Tue 29/09/2020 08:12:04
That's gotta be Raised by Wolves.
Correct! Over to you. :)
Let's try this:
24?
Not exactly.
That's Danny in the middle of the first shot, and CJ's back.
Then Josh in profile in the middle of the second shot, talking to someone in the White House cafeteria.
So... The West Wing - The Portland Trip.
Yup! Well done on even pinning down the episode. I've been rewatching it for… therapeutic purposes.
Yep, as have we!
What's next?
This:
No-one?
Here's another clue.
Here's a part of the intro:
From the first screen I thought it might be Locke & Key. The second one in particular doesn't seem to fit, but I'll throw it out there just to make a guess.
It's not Locke and Key, no. (Looking forward to the second season!)
No-one?
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.
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!
Stupot, wanna keep it going?
Will do. Keep an eye out some time soon.
New one. It’s easy if you know it.
The Land Before Time?
Transformers?
Nope and nope.
Dinoriders?
Denver the Last Dinosaur?
Dinosaucers?
Nopes. Here’s a new one.
Back to the Future animated Series?
Sport Billy?
Once upon a time... Man (original title: Il était une fois... l'homme) maybe?
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures?
Quote from: VampireWombat on Thu 08/10/2020 21:29:01
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures?
Ding ding ding!
That is correct.
Scooby Doo: Curse Of The Werewolf?
(I think that was the name. Where Shaggy and Scoob race their car in Transylvania and all the famous monsters are real.)
No, not a Scooby Doo movie. It was a Saturday morning cartoon.
I want to say something like... The Drac Pack?
Or maybe Teen Wolf the animated series?
_
Nope, neither one. I did actually consider Teen Wolf first, but I thought it would have been too obvious.
Speed Buggy?
The Real Ghostbusters?
Nope to either.
An all-monsters-together, uh? Maybe Tale from the Cryptkeeper?
_
Nope.
Franky jr. ?
Nope.
Count Duckular?
Gravedale High
why not... Sport Billy? (laugh)
lol. Well, this should be interesting.
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Mon 12/10/2020 17:48:47

Hmmm, sounds familiar. Where have I heard that name before? But, no.
Weird Science?
Quote from: Stupot on Tue 13/10/2020 02:45:50
Weird Science?
Nope. This was inspired by the previous entries, but in retrospect, might be a little too esoteric. This next picture might help a little.
Uh, now is easy! It's Galaxy High School!
Not one of my favourites, but it was cheesy!
_
Gravedale High has a human teacher in a school of monsters and Galaxy High has two humans going to school on an asteroid. So, both are kind of fish out of water shows. Now to see if the next offering is also a cartoon series...
Quote from: TheFrighter on Tue 13/10/2020 08:58:22
Uh, now is easy! It's Galaxy High School!
_
Correct!
Ok, enough of the kids hour!
Let's move to some shows more mature:
_
The Hours?
Smallville?
Not.
_
Black Sails?
Correct, Jack!
I saw it time ago, and my impression was: for a pirate's life cruising the seas they have plenty of time for the sex! :-[
_
Yeah, some of the seasons should have been called Black Sand instead, because that's where the show spent its time, doing "political intrigue", trying to fit the mould of Game of Thrones.
Here's an easy one. We've had it before, but I don't care!
Lost?
No.
Fringe?
Jack are you Chernobyling again?
Quote from: VampireWombat on Tue 20/10/2020 21:12:19
Fringe?
No.
Quote from: Galen on Wed 21/10/2020 00:16:10
Jack are you Chernobyling again?
Maybe :)
Best show of the last 10 years, in my opinion.
First time I've guessed the show based almost purely on a username.
Wow, I was going to post Voyager, but I couldn't find the shot I had saved. This is from the Fairhaven arc. Excellent show, it can proudly stand next to TNG.
Well that was quick, thought I had to have some actors faces otherwise it'd be a little too hard.
Come on, you nuuurds.
Cobra Kai?
No.
That looks like Frank Grillo on the right... Looks like people watching a fight (poster in the background of second image supports this focus too).
So by my incredible powers of deduction of rigorous Googling... Kingdom?
You got it.
Struggling to come up with a show I can be bothered to screenshot if anyone wants to have a go picking the next one.
Picked! (laugh)
_
Uh, not a ring?
_
Game of Thrones? season 1?
(are you sure those two pics are from the same show? One looks old/bad quality in 4:3 and next pixel perfect wide screen! 8-0 )
Quote from: Cassiebsg on Mon 16/11/2020 20:43:49
Game of Thrones? season 1?
No. Not GoT. (laugh)
The pics are just from different sites.
Spartacus or Rome?
I've seen neither, but this hairstyle just screams roman decadence.
Now that you mention it, yes it's Rome. That's Cleopatra in the first two pictures.
It's HBO's Rome indeed! A great effort in renewing the peplum-style!
Sinitrena got it, even by chance! (laugh)
_
Lucky guess! ;-D
Here's a new one:
Shouldn't be too difficult.
The Crown?
Too easy?
Yes, that is The Crown, showing the absolute start of the most recent season. ;) (mouse on the lower right side)

... showing the absolute
star of the most recent season...
one more of the same show.
Okay. I guess it does confirm it. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Correct! :-D (I will now wait indefinitely for a 3rd season :P)
Yeah, I fear a 3rd season isn't likely any time soon.
My head hurts too much to come up with anything. Someone else can take my turn.
Okay, I'll take the turn. :smiley:
I've been getting hooked on this programme recently.

Robin Hood?

SO close!
There are several versions of Robin Hood - which one is this? :wink:
Quote from: TheFrighter on Wed 09/12/2020 17:13:45
Robin Hood?
_
Hm, maybe I'm wrong but the pic looks old...
I remember a very funny version: Maid Marian and the Merry Men
It is?
_
Yes it's an old Robin Hood TV series, but it's not Maid Marian.
Here's another clue.
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/CJJJA9I.png[/imgzoom]
Let's see...
If isn't exactly Robin Hood, then...
The New Adventures of Robin Hood?
_
Nope, not New Adventures
Sooo...
The Legend of Robin Hood?
_
Nope. 'Robin' is the first word. :wink:
Robin of Sherwood? (That's the name of a RH show or movie, right?)
Quote from: Snarky on Sun 13/12/2020 01:02:16
Robin of Sherwood? (That's the name of a RH show or movie, right?)
That's the one. Such an amazing TV programme. The best version of Robin Hood out there! And love Herne the Hunter. :grin:
It was heartbreaking when...
Spoiler
Robin dies. He shoots his last arrow into the air, then breaks his bow to show that he's ready. Then they kill him.
:cry:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K2OAC5ISPI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0GF7NxssVs
Your turn Snarky. :wink:
That made me think of this:
The Order?
_
Nope. We've had this one before, actually…
Alright, to continue the king of limbs theme:
(These screens are not all from the same episode, BTW.)
If it wasn't for the modern technology in the background, it would kinda look like a screenshot from a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I'm not sure why. :-\
Is it perhaps from American Horror Story?
No, not AHS:
Dunno what the programe is, but that piccy, with his foot hanging over the edge of the bath, makes me think of the old nursery rhyme.
This little piggy went to market.
This little piggy stayed home.
And this little piggy... GOT CHOPPED OFF WITH MY SCISSORS.
:grin:
Could be Hannibal, if that was the name of the show. The one with Hannibal Lecter. ???
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.
I don't have anything international right now, so anyone may take my turn.
Ok, here's one. Shows who runs the tv in my house, I guess.
Nobody? I'd thought this one was too easy. Here's another one:
It is, but it's I guess it's sad one knows it. (laugh)
Moral Orel?
Nope. No satire whatsoever in this one. Just what my son watches.
Fine, I'll end the suffering. It's Paw Patrol... loved by toodlers and young children. (roll)
Can you truly blame, Cassiebsg? Goodness, all children's programs look entirely the same nowadays. Still, a clever trick!
And here I had prepared another slew of pics without the dogs in them... :-D Paw Patrol it is.
Am I the only one watching these shows with my kids and thinking "But how can this work?" And I'm not thinking of the talking dogs, or whatever, but of how expensive it all must be to build and maintain. Postman Pat uses a helicopter to deliver some balloons... (laugh)
Cassiebsg, you're up.
You are not, and I've watched a lot of cartoons, still do...
Talking dogs, don't bother me too much, except when you stop to think that other animals, like cats, don't talk... and a 9 year old "commands" all that??? Maybe it's a play/dream the 9 year old is having? (laugh) Can't think of any other way to explain it.
Anyway, next, one I'm currently re-watching... last I watched I was around 5 years old. (roll)
'Noah's Island', by chance?
Hojski-bojski!
Jungle Book: Adventures Of Mowgli?
Neither, and "Hojski-bojski!" I don't know what it is, Googling it gave no answers either. :-[
Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics?
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.
I see, I thought it was another show... :-[
Anyway, not Grimm's either.
No more guesses?
It does look very familiar, but it's not something I can remember the name of.
Not sure where it aired, I know for sure it aired in Portugal and for sure in Germany (since the ones I have, have the intro in German)...
Maybe this will help a bit:
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 SÅyÄ no BÅken.
It's not Tom Sawyer, but everything else is spot on. ;)
A few right key words on Google and you should be able to find some pics of the show... At least now I know how it's called in French. (laugh)
Inuk?
If you mean this show https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0488816/ , then no. Like VW said it's from late 70s.
Ack. I was looking for 'tv programme animated japan 1970', so don't know why that came up. Sorry. :embarrassed:
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.)
Yup, that's the one. (nod)
I knew it all my life as "Jacky"... and now as Jackie and Jill: The bear of Tallac. (Jacky is the name of the brown bear, and Jill is his sister, the lighter colored cub)
Back to something more… contemporary?
Complete guess, because I haven't seen it yet (it's on my watchlist) Bridgerton?
Hah! That was what I was trying to trick you into guessing. ;)
Though I thought it might take this screen to do it:
I think that's Nicholas Hoult in the wig in the first image. If so, that would mean this is probably The Great. Which I haven't seen, but I've seen enough commercials for to know Nicholas Hoult was in it.
Nope, not
The Great either.
Could it be Harlots?
_
I don't know if it could be, but it isn't.
A Discovery Of Witches?
Nope.
I should perhaps reveal that the guy seen in almost all the screens so far is not actually a major character on the show. Here we see more of the actual main cast:
Okay, there's a clear difference in costume for the woman in the middle in the last picture, so it's either timetravel or a show within a show (or a dream, horror, and so on...), so:
Outlander?
Not that either. You are partly right with some of the guesses about explanations for the discrepancy, though you're missing a major one.
Is it Ghost Whisperer?
Looks like all those people around her are dead. 8-0
Something about it looks vaguely British to me. :-\
Hmm...
I have absolutely no idea what it is though. :-D
It's not
Ghost Whisperer, but you are both right in your perceptions.
I thought somebody would have seen the show or recognize some of the actors, but even if you haven't, it's fairly googleable from what you know.
I agree with Danvzare it looks very british, maybe BBC stuff. I have no idea what show this is but I am eagerly curious for the reveal. It looks fun! :-D.
That's Simon Farnaby in the last screenshot but no idea on the show.
You are both right.
So it's a (current) BBC show with a bunch of ghosts, it's funny (well, it's a comedy, and I think it's fairly amusing, anyway), and one of the actors is Simon Farnaby…
Time for someone to get it, surely?
Ghosts?
Yup
Next programme :smiley:

Well, this is definitely not it (the aspect ratio is all wrong, for one thing), but the last screen made me think of The Box of Delights.
Sorry, it's not Box Of Delights. Good guess, though. :smiley:

Quite correct! (The next shot probably would have had a blue whale.)
True detective?

Is this a trick? It can't be that easy.
I'm guessing Dawson's Creek since there's no way this is Ali Larter in the tv show where she plays multiple characters with the same powers. Because guessing that would be way too easy. I will not save the cheerleader or save the world.
Ah, VampireWombat has it even if they don't want to believe. Tried picking a show I had access to that I hadn't seen in a very, very long while, didn't remember her playing multiple characters.
Yes, Ali Larter played at least 2 characters in Heroes. Maybe more depending on if different personalities count.
Here's something more obscure.
"My Screen Almost Exploded"?
So close, yet not even one bit correct.
No fans of the Plymouth Prowler?
If this doesn't get a proper guess, nothing will.
Night Man.
I haven't actually seen it. Just took a wild guess and did a search for The Prowler and it came up, lol.
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!

Maybe this will help?
The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole?
Nope, not that one Mandle.
Surely this will help!
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!

Okay, who recognises this programme?
Gotta love meeting Gene for the first time. :cheesy:
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/qdycqPH.png[/imgzoom]
That's too easy. Season 2, disc 2 is in my Blu Ray player right now.
And the fact you named Gene makes me 100% sure.
The F-Files. :grin:
Spoiler
Yeah, that's too easy. Also, The F-Files is the actual translated name used here (I think the reason is obvious...).
Hmm, I thought using that scene would make it trickier, because you can't see the man's face. :cool:
However, I want the real name of the programme. :smiley:
It's so obvious that I intended to pass on that.
The title I posted was already the real name the show's called here though (it's what we got in Chinese, in English it still went by its original name).
Of course it's easy. Not too many mad scientists keep a cow. Plus, despite the fact his face is blurred, I can definitely tell it's Ch...
I'm only not saying the name because I won too recently.
I never mentioned a mad scientist. :wink:
Anyone else want to name it? It's not The F Files (or The X Files).
Not many shows keep a cow on the set... (laugh)
I'll take it, though will have to think what to post next.

Is it an out-take from an incident on the set of Battlestar Galactica when the chimp finally got sick of wearing the dog robot suit?
The Mentalist, maybe? I seem to remember an episode where a monkey was the killer.
I fear I am apist. The episode of My Name Is Earl I was thinking of did have an ape. But it was an orangutan.
But I am 90% sure I have seen that chimp with that gun. Guess it's time to guess shows that I watched that were on NBC...
Scrubs?
No, no and nope.

Fell free to post another one. :) I have nothing atm.Okay, guess LimpingFish doesn't want it, so I found something... I don't have any of this show, so it's a youtube grab (there might be scenes from 2 different episodes, sorry).
Young Sheldon?

No, the show isn't about a baby, it just happen to have a baby in this episode. ;)

Seeing TNT made me think The Closer. Never saw it, but it's the first show I thought of.
It's not The Closer, it's an older show.

Oh, sorry, it totally went out of my head. :-[
Anyway, I recognize some of the people in this one...and that background in the second pick is very familiar.
...
The Practice?
It's okay, I didn't want the thread to die. ;)
But it's not The Practice...
(after this pic, all pics I have include 1 or both of the main characters/actors, so it'll probably be easier, then, but this guy is probably also very recognizable ;) )
Matlock?
No, not Matlock.
There are only 2 main characters? That certainly cuts out a lot of possible guesses from the list...
So, I know a lot of things it's not. But I'm no closer to knowing what it is.
I'm just going to guess something I'm sure it's not, but have at least seen: Witchblade.
It's not...
Well, that's Mark Harmon, so… NCIS?
It is Mark Harmon, but not NCIS (though he's probably the reason why I even started watching NCIS... (laugh), backtrack a few years... see? no white/silver hair ;) )
Last pic and a hint... how many hearing impaired actresses do you know? ;)
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.
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).
If you're not positive, those may be some reasonable doubts. My advice is still solid.
(laugh) (laugh) (laugh) Galen got it... (laugh) (laugh)
Unglorius bastards?

Nope.
Dirk Gently? (I'm asking for both versions.)
How silly of me! It's a tv-show, not a movie! :-[
Well... The Americans?

No to all. Though I suppose The Americans is closer in the right direction, if not the right country or time period.
SSGB?
Yep, you got it Cap.

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
Well, it's an old tradition that immigrants changes their names once they lands in USA... :-D
You got it!

Isn't that the origin story of a maniac who wears his underwear outside and has a large S (seems that these alphabets aren't only international, they are intergalactic) on his chest? :grin:

Alright, I'll try again.
I recognise a young Gina Torres.
A quick look online brings up Cleopatra 2525. :smiley:
Indeed. The mediocre scifi series brought to us by the same people who made Xena and Hercules.
It looks just as classy! (roll)

Cassie, hadn't thought about it before, but you're right. It would be brilliant for a P & C game :cheesy:
This should be quite a challenge:
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.

Here's another one, with the Arte logo and everything:
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

Ian, I believe you should start thinking about taking over :)
Laura,
I have no idea about a follower ,
also I am abroad for the next days and
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
Greetings from Munich !
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.

Nobody interested or simply clueless ?
Maybe these pics lead you to the right track :
Jordskott?
Bingo , Heltenjohn !
Did you like it ? I did !
I somehow knew you would guess it :-)
Your turn
Yes, I liked it a lot. It's a Swedish series that starts out like a crime show, then takes turns towards the supernatural. Recommended if that description doesn't put you off. ;)
I'll think of something.
Okay, this one could maybe be easier. I'm watching it currently with my wife.
The Borgias?
Good guess, but no.
The Pillars of the Earth?
No, that's not it, either.
New pic, the king this time:
Without having seen it:
The Tudors?
No, it's not that, either. Less realistic.

No, but we are firmly in the genre of (historical) fantasy. I haven't posted a picture of the lead character yet, which I reckon would make it all too easy.
Xena?
No, but it _is_ a female lead. ;)
I don't know what it is, but the screenshots really catch my interest. :smiley:
Cursed
Without having seen it (yet) but the sword gave it away.
Yes! Cursed is correct!
While not exactly a must-see, the show delivers some stylish entertainment and provides another spin on a familiar tale and some familiar characters. What if a woman wielded Excalibur instead of Arthur?
Sinitrena, you're it.

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.

Here's a new one for you guys to guess.
Once upon a time?
_
Good guess, but no.
New hint:
I just realized it's been 2 or 3 years since I watched this. The last episode I remember had vikings worshiping a stand in for Tickle Me Elmo. My brain is broken on the correct name. But if no one else gets it in the next day or two, I'll look up the name.
Vampire Wombat, you're thinking of the right show. I find it absolutely hilarious.
A couple of more pics, because why not:
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.
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, have an Estevez
Wow, he looks so much like his father at that age.

Huh. Interestingly, Emilio is the same age now as his father was in the image I posted.
I guess I chose something too obscure. Alright, here's the main character.
Is that Michael Easton?
General Hospital?
Has General Hospital gone cyberpunk? But yes, it is Michael Easton.
Here's an edited image of a dvd set that contains the first episode/tv movie. I thought it was the same set I have, but mine has The Faculty instead of Lifepod, the images for 2 or 3 of the movies are different, and some are located in different locations.
That's off-topic but hey, there's an italian movie in the box! 8-0 Did you watch it, VampireWombat?
_
This is the only other useful thing I can think to include since there are plenty of clues to lead to the answer. If no one guessed in a couple of days, I will post another image of Ramón Estevez.

Not sure which movie you mean. So, probably not. I've only watched a handful of them so far.
Slight change of plan. No Estevez today. Instead I noticed that this fellow was in a couple of episodes. Hopefully the image quality is good enough to make him recognizable.
The actor is David Warner I believe.
You are correct, sir.
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.

The David Warnermower Man?
Quote from: Mandle on Thu 25/11/2021 16:11:48
The David Warnermower Man?
Well, that's a guess at least. But not a single correct word.
I never saw this, but judging from the description (from what I've read during random web surfing) is it the Total Recall TV series that actually mixed elements from other Philip K. Dick stories such as Blade Runner? (Or, is it the other way round, the Blade Runnerl TV series that actually mixed elements from other Philip K. Dick stories such as Total Recall?)
Total Recall: The Series?

Total Recall 2070, which was indeed vaguely based on Philip K. Dick stuff.

Hmmm...
[imgzoom]https://i.imgur.com/bmbFIFR.png[/imgzoom]
Should be easy as long as you have watched this before.
Too easy :) But I have nothing to follow it up with right now, so I'll wait and see if somebody else guesses it.
How's this for a scenario?
Since nobody else has made a guess yet: The Greatest American Hero.
Oh wow, I had forgotten all about that show. Used to love it when I was a kid!
Quote from: Laura Hunt on Wed 19/01/2022 18:03:38
Since nobody else has made a guess yet: The Greatest American Hero.
Yes of course. As long as you have watched this it is too obvious.
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.
Funny how me and my husband were just talking about Hill street blues yesterday, and then I log in and see it posted her. (laugh)
Oh, yay!
Wasn't sure if it was that or NYPD. Always get those two mixed up.
Next:
is it "After life" I was watching it the other day, that shot certainly looks familiar.

That's right,
And what a great show that is.
Sean Lock, very clever comedian, RIP.
Benedict Wong, went onto some blockbusters, I loved him in Marco Polo.
Over to you LameNick.
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.

I loved how strange the idea of having tiny parts of peoples lives are within that tower block, i must admit i didn't know that show even existed until recently when it popped up on BBC iPlayer, i previously only knew Sean Lock "from 8 of 10 cats does countdown"
Yeah, 8 out of 10 cats does countdown won't be the same, if it will continue at all.

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!
Sorry, I totally forgot to check in to this thread.

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:
The Prison?
This show looks so strange!
The last image with the beds made me think of Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason cover.
Anyway, I obviously have no idea of what show it is :D

Definitely!
I see that this is going to be a tough one to crack :-D There goes another one!
I believe I've seen this, but for the love of life can't recall the title. I think it was some unsettling pair of words like Irredeemable truth or some kind of horrible truth.
I won't keep guessing though, just thought its of the utmost importance to let everybody here know that I've probably seen it.
The Shivering Truth.
Close, very close, LameNick! But PaxAnimo nailed it :)
Have a crack at this one,

Here's a new one,
Here's another shot.
Hollyoaks?
Some supporting characters from Little Britain?
That old comedy programme, Benidorm?
None of the above,
This is an Australian sitcom.
I came across this show a few years ago and i did find it rather quirky and outrages at times. I guess it's a little more niche than i assumed.

(I wonder how someone can think this show is comedy, as Netflix says; felt more like horor towards the end of season 1.)
Natasha Lyonne is naturally funny, but yeah, I don't think the show is predominantly comedic.
Perhaps a bigger clue:
Could it be Servant of the People?

Indeed it is: the show where Volodomyr Zelenskyy played a guy who becomes president of Ukraine.
Ah! That show is currently running here in Italia, bot nobody care about it! (laugh)

Hmm if not their self-titled series, then perhaps When Death Comes to Town? If they have another show, I don't know it.
I think some of them were also in Marc Maron's show (just titled 'Maron'), so I'll throw that out there too but the pic really doesn't look like that.

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!
Over to you!
That’s great. I didn’t know Kids in the Hall stuff was known much outside Canada (and the States a bit).
Can someone jump in and take my turn? Thanks
Hmm no takers eh?
OK how about this:
Married With Children?
Learning the Ropes?
(did you ever noticed that houses in 80s-90s sitcoms have often that type of stairs? :-D)
_
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.
Full House?
"Whoa!" That would be Blossom. :)
Yep! You actually posted right as I was going to share the next screenshot. (laugh)
Alright your go!
I loved rewatching Seinfeld on Netflix and seeing the "Blossom" poster in the CBS waiting room, which means that she was in Seinfeld AND Big Bang Theory.

Sorry but most screenshots are going to be the main characters on a boat. If it helps spark your memory, the girl pointing is deaf (in both real life and the series):

The Sea Voyage?

CRICHTON: Told you I was taller than you! See? My head is above yours, and I'm literally looking down at you.

Next round is up for grabs, as cat doesn't want her turn.
I never heard of it before, but this looks like a very interesting show!
German retro sci-fi? Bizarre mix to me...

Nope.
Sarah Connor Chronicles?
Incorrect, sorry.
Castlevania?
Solved too fast, now you don't get to see Alucard's bare chest... :-[
Castlevania is correct.
Nothing to stop you from posting it…
Meanwhile:
Ugly Betty?
Interesting, but no.
I don't know what the programme is, but I'd really love to add some colour to those stark cold white rooms. :cool:
Supernatural?

Supernatural?
No.
I don't suppose this will be very helpful, but I'd already screencapped it, so might as well add it:
He looks like Dr who?
He's not, though. (But genre-wise this is the best guess so far.)
Let's have some faces (and backs of heads):
Hey I know that show, it's called Severance.
Brilliant show, highly recommended. It's like an episode of the Twilight Zone stretched over an entire TV Show.
Right you are, Danvzare! With Adam Scott and John Turturro (and even Christopher Walken):
Yeah, I also liked it a lot, though I felt the mystery aspect a little unnecessary and would have liked it fine as simply a dystopian satire. Very much recommended for fans of
Squid Game or
Black Mirror.
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 it's my turn then.
Criminal minds?
No guesses? Well have another screenshot anyway. :-D
One of the NCIS programmes?
Quote from: Frodo on Thu 07/07/2022 20:28:06
One of the NCIS programmes?
It's not even within the same genre. (wrong)
Ahh, I get it now. The Headless (Horse)Man? :tongue:
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.
I think it's one of those American Horror Story things. The first episode (amputated hand scene) of the only season I tried to watch (and gave up) (laugh)
Quote from: Danvzare on Fri 08/07/2022 16:03:34
I wonder if this is a case where people just aren't aware of the TV show.
If you were told that it was a still from a movie, would that help you recognize the getup?
Some of the screenshots remind me of Westworld.
Is there a TV series based on that film?
Unless it is from season 3 of Westworld (which I haven't watched nor do I plan to), I doubt it's from that series...
Quote from: Frodo on Sun 10/07/2022 14:21:50
Some of the screenshots remind me of Westworld.

There is a Westworld TV series, but no, this isn't from that.
It's not American Horror Story either.
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
Could it be Ash vs. Evil Dead?
Possible. I never was into the evil dead; trying watching one of the movies but the cinematography was imo just bad :=
Good eyes, Laura! Oh, how did I miss this!
Quote from: Laura Hunt on Sun 10/07/2022 19:48:30

Yes, you got it! :-D
Your turn.
Hmmmm turns out I haven't watched any shows recently, so I don't have anything. Heltenjon, do you want to take over? :)
If Helten doesn't mind, here is a very easy one to get us going 8-)
Come on, I am sure many here know the series 8-)
Everyone is happy:
That cape... Supergirl?
They are both superheroes, but you need to name the show (nod)
(and no, it's not Supergirl (laugh) )
I never saw it, but is it that TV show ‘Heroes’?

I know this one. Haven't watched it yet, but I've read the comics. I read everything by Garth Ennis I can get my hands on.
But I'm packing for a trip, so I'll let someone else answer it. ;)
The boys.
I haven't seen it yet either, but I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Correct :D
I'm a bit limited on screenshots for this show. It was on Netflix but isn't anymore, at least in my region, so I have to take what I can get from scenes on Youtube.
Some anime?
The massive wall (?) does make me think of one, but I won't say for the time being (laugh)
Edit: Whoops ~ guessed a movie in the tv series thread
Anime - Yes
Massive wall - Yes (It's kinda important to the story)
Attack on Titan? That's the only anime I know of that features a big wall.
Well, yes, Attack on Titan was my own guess too (but I have only watched a couple of episodes in the first season, where the buildings are medieval-looking). Regardless, even if it was a correct guess, I wouldn't try to post a new pic so soon (laugh)
It is not Attack on Titan. It's less know, as far as I know.
Next guess, please ;)
This is one of the main characters, but not THE main character.
Interesting :)
If the show is any good, I will watch.
Quote from: KyriakosCH on Thu 14/07/2022 15:13:53

I liked it. Don't know your tastes, of course. It's pretty dark and fairly brutal but with a bit of love and humour as well.
This time, THE main character, as the more friendly part of his personality.
Alright, last picture.
This time, we have the main character with his less nice personality:
If nobody guesses it with this pic, I'm pretty sure nobody knows the show.
Sorry, I don't know what it is, but it looks interesting. :smiley:
High-Rise Invasion?
Quote from: Danvzare on Tue 19/07/2022 16:46:47

No, the show we are looking for is older.
Chinese Electric Batman! That's Darker Than Black.

Someone knows the show! YES! It's Darker than Black
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.
Over to you, Galen!
Galen, did you want your turn, or should someone else take over?
Looks like a Tokyo Ghoul kind of show.
Yeah I kept meaning to go screenshot some show but I've been drawing blanks on something not posted before, if anyone else wants a go then feel free.
Since you offered...
(dunno if it has been posted before, but I'm going to assume not)
Not sure about the procedure for posting more pictures without getting any guesses, but here is another:
3 Wise Men?
Scrooge?
Nope. To (hopefully := ) compound confusion, this is a comedy set in the modern day
The Romanoffs?
I guess they have the time period in common...but no
*Bump*
New pic?
Oh goodness, I had forgotten about this. And a new season is starting next week!
This has gone on quite a while now. Here's a picture of the title character, sans previously sported beard. If no one guesses, I'll just spill the beans
Unmasked?
I just came across an article about this show and recognized the guy.
Ramy.
Snarky is correct!
Yay!
I feel like I haven't had a lot of luck with britcoms in this thread (
Lovesick and
Ghosts in particular were surprisingly hard for people to get), but I'll give it another go:
There is a piece of trivia about this actor which, if you know it, could help you zero in on the show:
LameNick is apparently caught in the CleanTalk anti-spam filter and not able to post, but he PMed me with the right answer:
Derry Girls(The clue in the previous image was that Liam Neeson is from Northern Ireland.)
If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's a delight.
Hopefully Nick will be released from spam filter purgatory soon and allowed to post the next challenge.
Thanks Snarky for helping me solve the posting issue!
Derry girls was awesome, recommended.
I'll post a screen soon.
Here it comes:
House of dragons?
_
nope
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace?
That's correct!
Either one of the worst B-horror shows ever or one of the best AAA comedy series.

This image should make it easy to guess!
That looks like Rik Mayall, and since this doesn't seem to be Bottom or The Young Ones, I'm going to go with The New Statesman?
Not the right actor (or series).
Am I misremembering, or wasn't ProgZmax a big fan of Sledge Hammer? Just for a second I thought "I'll hold off and let him get this one." :-\

David Rasche. Back in 2009 (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?msg=505935), I saw him introduce a screening of
In the Loop. Since then he's been in
Veep, among other things.
This should be pretty easy, except that I want the
specific TV series this screen is from:
(If the image looks a little weird, it's because I ran a frame grab from a poor-quality YouTube video through an online AI upscale/sharpen tool.)
Blade Runner
Yeah, you got it. It's from the upcoming Blade Runner 2099 limited series, currently in preproduction. Your turn.
I think the full title is: Alan Partridge, the replicant that made Eldon Tyrell voluntarily squash his head.
Whereas future SFLA has "Buster Friendly and His Friendly Friends" with a talkshow host that broadcasts live 46 hours a day (with separate radio and TV shows), future UK has the same thing with "Alan Partridge and His Party Pals (Aha!)"
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...
Quote from: Snarky on Fri 14/10/2022 18:20:17Yeah, you got it. It's from the upcoming Blade Runner 2099 limited series, currently in preproduction. Your turn.
hahahaha
Anyone?
That's Chris Morris, so... Brass Eye?
Yes Chris Morris, no Brass Eye. (I don't think Alan Partridge appeared on that show.)
The Day Today?
Yup
I'll post a new one tomorrow because I can't think of anything right now.
If someone else wants to take the turn in the meantime, go ahead!
Charlie's Angels?
Correct! And without even the need to show any character! (laugh)

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:
Another two...
I don't know; I suppose it is a detective drama, possibly a period piece?
That should be enough clues.
I guess it must be An Affair at Styles (or something like that). ;)
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
Meh, fine, have it your way :)
Les petits meurtres d'Agatha Christie
@heltenjon, you can have the next one, if not I will try to find something :D
Ok, here's another one.
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
Here's another clue.
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.)
Quote from: heltenjon on Tue 08/11/2022 14:33:43Babar has it. I'm half expecting another time travel show now! :)

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]
Babar, how about another clue please? :smiley:
Here is another. Sorry for the tiny images, apparently they released on DVD a few years ago, but my copy is not that
The X Files?
Nope, but it does share a vibe and is from a similar era.
Could it be Fringe?
_
Nope, you've gone too far ahead
Torchwood?
Nope, Torchwood is too far ahead too
Just a random guess:
Dark Skies?
Nope, but it is closer to the time this show aired (and also somewhat shares the vibe).
I had been hiding the channel name all this time.
Quote from: Babar on Mon 19/12/2022 12:24:03I had been hiding the channel name all this time.

Quote from: Babar on Mon 19/12/2022 01:35:10
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."
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.
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:
Steady on:

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
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.
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.
Take it! (laugh)

Not a ring?

What are you waiting?

Another hint?

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.)
