Futuristic, logical space man dies. Khaaaaan!!!



EDIT: This is fun. I feel like the guy that has to summarize shows and stuff for the in-menu guide on satellite/cable TV.


Kid travels to 50s. Reunites parents.

Childhood friends grow up, kill clown.

Rat teaches turtles to fight ninjas.

Hockey player plays golf for grandmother.

Boy bitten by spider fights villains.


EDIT 2: Also, can anyone guess what these are? I'm curious as to how well I'm describing them.


Cowboy collects supernatural orbs, hunts killer. (Bonus points if anyone can guess this one)

Gun hater invents with household items.

Alien travels space, time. Saves humanity.

@Rabbitologist: You missed the first one -- but that one is hopefully pretty obvious so it's all good ;P.

You're right on all of them except for Dragonball Evolution. Goku is not a cowboy -- but otherwise that is a great guess!

That one is really obscure. I doubt anyone will get it.

As for the two of Disch's that TheRabbitologist didn't get, I'm thinking "It" and "Happy Gilmore" for the first two... No idea about the last.

Harvard Law Graduate Brisco County, Jr. searches for the members of the infamous John Bly gang, the same men who killed his father,(...) Along the way, he encounters mysterious golden orbs with strange abilities and colorful characters who help or hinder his mission (...)

"Iku" has multiple meanings. Funnily enough, if you take the literal meaning of the word (as you took it) and invert it, it happens to be an English word whose own slang meaning is equivalent...
