Annual shark

Can you supply information about the San Jose Sharks' “Teal and White” game? 71.146.8.88 (talk) 04:35, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Does this help? --Jayron32 04:38, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately—for me, at least—I can't say it does. I've searched Google already and it doesn't seem to yield many relevant results. To specify the information that I would like, I would like the overview, general date, purpose, and typical scoring. Thanks—in advance 71.146.8.88 (talk) 06:00, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What its called when all waht in video shall be sayed written down?

Your use of English makes it quite difficult to understand, but I think there are perhaps two answers depending on what you are asking:

1) Maybe the word you are looking for is transcript - a text copy of what was said in a TV show or interview. Some TV shows, particularly factual programmes, have a transcript released by the TV company on their website.

2) Maybe the word you are looking for is script - the written text of a play, film or TV show. Actors learn what they have to say by reading the script. Astronaut (talk) 11:18, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think the word is "transcription". Several articles relate to this, such as Transcription (linguistics), Transcription (service), and Subtitle (captioning) and probably a few others. Bus stop (talk) 11:24, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also see closed captioning. StuRat (talk) 23:10, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to find SF TV show episode

One time I saw on TV an episode of what had to have only been a half-hour show, probably the kind of show with a different set of characters and plot each week, like The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits, but I've scanned through their episodes and haven't found what I'm remembering. It goes like this: a guy is trudging through a densely packed rainforest, which I think was on another planet. I don't remember a word of exact dialogue, but my memory had retained the main idea of whatever was said that this was not Earth, and scenes of his using some tricorder-like device. Eventually, he finds in the middle of the global forest a building that has a dry plant-free interior. He gladly enters and lies down in a chair, but he's got a very tiny fragment of leaf stuck to his leg, and when he wakes up, this oasis of dryness has become like the rest of the rainforest. Does anyone know what series and episode this was? It was in the 80s or 90s. 69.243.220.115 (talk) 12:50, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds to me like The Illustrated Man (film), The Long Rain part.John Z (talk) 21:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it was The Long Rain, alright. I recognized the face of this Marc Singer actor as the guy as soon as I saw the link I just gave. 69.243.220.115 (talk) 22:19, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

HELP ME FIND THIS SHOW: "Runaway"

Also, help me find the lyrics to the theme-song. (Many of the words are unintelligible.)

How come I never found the actual episodes of "Runaway" on YouTube? This show and its episodes are SO hard to find. Why isn't Google forthcoming either? Anyway, would you find perhaps an obscure link to all their episodes?

Moreover, what channels would "Runaway" be on, on my parents' DirecTV satellite network? --Tergigress (talk) 20:32, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't a real show. It was part of this film: C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America.--Canoe1967 (talk) 20:38, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brussels Sprouts-Boy Scouts

I'm trying to find details of a British TV play called Brussels Sprouts-Boy Scouts which was shown in 1973, part of the Armchair Theatre series. I have a dim recollection that it caused a bit of a furore at the time. I can't find anything apart from the rather sparse IMDb entry. Any help would be appreciated.
