Describe some obscure wierd stuff you saw on tv as a child but has forgotten the name of and now it feels like a fever dream.
Who knows, perhaps any other commenter can shed light on what that media was called

Personally
I remember a show of marionette dolls that in one episode played out the life of what I think is Mozart and it was very tragic and dramatic but it was on kids tv....
The dolls were beautiful and probably very old or at least made in a traditional sense so not dolls normally used for kids shows.

Oh I also remember another marionette dolls show but there was a woman in a white 1910s style dress who played out different known fairy tales with the dolls in an old house but it was the original versions of the stories aka much more gruesome and dark than the kids friendly versions hahah like the original Cinderella where the sisters chop of their feet to fit the shoes

Ok so I have this vivid memory of some show where there was like a dragon wandering through pipes and there's like some scary dude in black dancing around in the pipe (representing pollution or something) chasing the dragon and I have no idea wtf that is from or if that was a fever dream.

I think it was a legit hijacking, It was pretty common i think and its not to hard to do really if you know your way around cables and a laptop

I didn't really watch it much, but I feel like Captain N fits the title nicely. It's supposed to be a multi-dimensional referential show to Nintendo games, but it was made in the 90s I think so it's probably pretty weird with how the characters are depicted lol

A horror movie where the guy fills their mouths with coins or marbles or something before slitting their throats, never been able to find it my google-fu is too weak.

Off topic since some of the comments are about cartoons, listen to the first 30 seconds of Gitane Demones incendiary lover then listen to the theme song for the cartoon C.O.P.S ... I can't be the only one.

Oh one more!

A Disney short film about a couple on a winter Holliday and the girl gets stuck on the ice and it cracks and the boy tries to save her by grabbing her glove but it unravels into yarn but he does eventually succeed and then the ending scene is of the couple in photo frames.
And the whole film has dramatic classic music And a choir singing.

These kids were like in a park solving mysterious or some s**t and there was a purple slime that would seep into people or something and took control of people of the town . There was a weird green frog like puppet but I'm pretty sure it was like an agent of the antagonist because of how f**king ugly it was. I remember a girl screaming towards a black kid getting too close to the pond at the park before being taken over and then a to be continued. Idk the show to know what happens next or what was happening and nobody knows the show but everyone says the powers rangers first movie and I get why people make the connection but the slime was ..... different ?

A public local channel here in New York used to have a Christian kids show with a mime called " mimey" , it was really strange. The host looked like the lady from lamb chops with a group of kids, I used to watch it to laugh at how weird it was.

Wolfboy20, was it the famous Max Headroom incident? You could youtube that easily. A bunch of people have done videos on that TV hijack incident, and others. I bet you could find the clip you're talking about fairly easily. I've watched youtube videos that go over a bunch of TV hijacking's.

I recall being like 9 and seeing this really strange show that I can only describe as LSD visuals like the ones that are on youtube if you search "LSD visuals." Sometimes the psyhcadellic patterns would be interupted by segments of lofi footage like a ram attacking a punching bag. Thats the only one I remember clearly. There was allways ambient or distorted music playing also.

Yeah rainbows are weird alright, it's like an alien ship that comes outta the sky and lands on the ground then releases little green men that guard the entrance... or is it the exit?
