I think this was a PBS series, but I'm not sure. The main characters were a boy and girl who had a sort of "time scoop" they used to bring people out of the past and talk with them. One episode had them bring Moses forward, just before the Burning Bush. They knew better, they really did, but they just couldn't help expecting the pop culture versions of the various people. So they were more than slightly disconcerted to get, when they drew Moses forward, an eighty year old Judean shepherd... who stuttered.

Does anyone know the title of a vampire movie, one where a bunch of scientist discover a vampires corpse and they revive him by dunking it in a tub of blood. They then do experiments on him, and secretly some of the scientist are trying to become vampires themselves. Then the vampire hunter who's killed him has to kill him again?

Canadian show, 1990s, set in a TV news studio, main character was kind of a poor man's Tom Cruise. It was a drama, with elements of humor, but I can't remember now what made it so good. Saw it on US TV, late night I think.

I remember an episode of a tv show (maybe late nineties?) in which a group of students were in detention, and somehow they realized that their detention room was isolated from the rest of the outside world. The classroom windows were frosted, and when they were able to open them, outside of the was just whiteness. Turns out they were actually being observed and studied by aliens.
Does anyone know what show this was?

Okay, this is twofold.
One is about a French pirate and his Hypercompetent Sidekick rat first mate (who has some lower class British accent I can't identify).
The other is about secret agent dogs and their neverending struggle against dog stuff like fleas and cats. No,it's not Cats And Dogs.
Both of them aired on FOX on Saturday mornings in the late 90s, but as far as I can tell they didn't last very long. Any ideas?

Video game.
A PC game that may or may not have had something to do with Atlantis. There was a portal that took you to different parts of the game that was round with a column of energy in the middle (I think someone starts talking to you when you go through it). One of the areas was an Aztec-looking temple with a bloody handprint near the door and another area had a desert where you had to cut the cactis open to get water.

Can anyone identify this boardgame I used to play a few years ago: A chariot race between five teams of different fantasy races, with one player controling each team. Each player had a hand of 7 cards of 5 different colours, which could be used to set their chariot's speed, cast spells on themselves or other players, or avoid taking damage from obstacles. If you took enough damage, you crashed and had to miss a turn before you could rejoin the race with your speed reset to 0. If you crashed twice, you were out of the game. Common practice seemed to be to fireball the elf, but that could have just been us.

This was a movie from the 80's, possibly the late 70's. An alien invasion kind of like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but the main character was a boy 10-12 years old. A lot of the action took place around his school, which was in a desert-like location. You could tell someone had been infected and turned into an alien from a thorn-like protrusion on the back of the neck. The boy's teacher is an ally, but gets infected, which the boy realizes when he sees a band-aid on the back of the teacher's neck. (The image of the band-aid on the back of the neck still freaks me out.)
Anyone?

I've Googled this without any success, so maybe I just made the whole thing up somehow, but here goes:
I'm 23. I have a childhood memory of seeing a promo for something on TV (in Canada) about a doctor/scientist who would do experiments on people by making them lie down and listen to white noise through headphones. He was able to brainwash them and/or erase their memories/minds. At the time, I understood the plot to be based on true events that happened in Montreal or something, but don't weigh that idea too heavily. (Maybe it was set in Montreal, though?)
I remember this as a TV movie, but it may have just been an episode of a series. Either way, it made me nervous around white noise for years.

I'm looking for the name of a British kid's gameshow from the 90s. It was basically The Crystal Maze with a few differences:
- There were only three people in the team;
- It was set in a (possibly 200 floor) skyscraper;
- Each floor contained a different game, with the final game on the top floor;
- Instead of being locked in, you were sent to the basement;
- It was hosted by a face on a screen in the building's lift;
- It was the host's job to pick the games played, not the players.
I'm certain I'm not making this up, given how much of it I remember, so does anyone know what it was called?

I vaguely remember this show (I think it was anime) that my mom rented for me when I was little (mid-90's). All I remember was that there were giant centipedes throwing the world into chaos because they were eating fairies which I think controlled nature or something. And there was a scene in a church/cathedral of a priest writing something with a quill pen by candlelight. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
resolved No Title Anime
I remember seeing an anime movie awhile ago, but I didn't catch the title and only watched it for a few minutes. I think there was some sort of war going on, and the pilots were mid-to-older teen boys. I think they were stuck at that age, and they had to be in order to fly the planes. There was a girl who was their boss, I'm pretty sure she was a heavy smoker. She was also the mother of a little girl who came to visit, but the girl thought she was her sister. It had a sort of CGI style combined with the anime and the CGI was more apparent in the aerial scenes.

Anime or 70/80's animation. Asian or some other 'exotic' boy, blond girl, perhaps adopted twins? With matching amulets? Credits possibly involved them running down a cobblestone street, shot from street level and running towards the camera? My Dad keeps telling me it's The Mysterious Cities of Gold but I'm sure it's not! Though the animation style is similar.

A very old film I saw when I was young. It involved two kingdoms, and the people were made of colors—or represented the colors or something. There is a war between the two kingdoms, and the prince has to save the princess. At the end, all live happily ever after and there is a rainbow. or something. Help! I just want to know wast this movie is.
There was this horror/comedy movie, where a character shot someone's brother and him along with 3 other people have to find someplace to bury the body. They tried robbing a store and ended up with a bag of chips. Someone caught their mother cheating on his father, and shot her along with her lover, so now they have 3 bodies to worry about. They ran into a guy the could bury the bodies in exchange for their (dead bodies) thumbs. Through out the movie the guys were always arguing. Would anyone know of this movie by any chance?
