I saw a compilation of 1 particular guy in the show on Instagram a while back, and I want to find what that show was now (don’t care about the actual video).

It was a game show, probably a panel show specifically, though I’m not entirely sure if it was actually in the UK or if it was US. The clipped episode(s) were likely from the 2020s, possibly 2010s, so it seems that the show is probably still going on. It wasn’t just random contestants on the show, it was known names (probably comedians). The guests sat behind a counter/table/whatever, and a big screen would show a number and the guests would guess what the context behind the number was. Ex. screen says “4,000” and the answer would be “how many people Jesus fed with loaves and fish”, though they would discuss it first and riff off with silly answers. (The numbers sometimes also had units listed, like “lbs” or “minutes” or “people” but you still needed to find what it applied to) That might have only been one section of the show, though, and the rest was slightly different, I don’t know.

I remember my parents watching this when I was a kid in the early- or mid-2010s, USA. I’m fairly certain it was an episode of a TV show, and from how I remember it looking, it likely came out in the 2010s or maybe 2000s. It was probably TV-14 or even MA—not appropriate for my age but they let me stay up and I saw some of it anyway while I did other stuff.

In the show, a child is kidnapped/goes missing, and they have one parent (90% it was the mom) that is desperately searching for them. There’s a scene that I believe is the end of the episode: the camera shows a street with cars and there’s a bleak coloring to everything (probably the whole show was colored like this, a dystopian sort of theme) as the camera rises, and then I think credits roll. There might have even been someone standing on a car in that shot?? Or a car wreck or something? I think this was the pilot episode of the show, and it was setting this up as the big mystery/plot of the series: what happened to the kid, and (how) is the mom going to find them?

I don’t know why I have this particular memory, and I don’t think I saw any more of the show. I just remember this bit + the specific way the UI looked at the time for the streaming service this was on—which was probably Amazon, or maybe Roku or Netflix. I always thought the show was called “Taken” or something similar in reference to the kid being kidnapped, but this definitely isn’t the movie titled such, and from what I can find it doesn’t look like it’s the series or miniseries also with that name. My memory is mostly a visual one, so if I could find the scene I’m thinking of then I would probably know it when I see it.

I am planning on getting my first cat soon-ish, like within the year hopefully, and have started to think (worry) about all the logistics. My main mental hurdle right now is this: I would like to put the new cat in its own room at first, not just so that it can chill and get used to the new situation, but also so it can have a slow introduction with my dog. But I live in a little duplex with my mom, with no second bathroom or other "extra" room for the cat to be in out of the way. So where should I put them?

1. The only bathroom. It's probably as small as a bathroom gets, not a whole lot of wiggle room. My idea would be that everything that can be moved taken out/locked up (toiletries, shower curtain, everything), and the litterbox is placed in the tub (could/would a cat use it there even?? there's no other space for it in there that would also give us room to move). Then we'd have to just use the bathroom sparingly; if the tub needs to be used during that time, hopefully the cat could temporarily go in their carrier or they'd get the opportunity to explore a new room under someone else's supervision. But would a new cat be okay with us still using the toilet and sink with them in there??
2. My bedroom. Theoretically (if needed for cat's comfort), I could sleep on the couch and give them my room for this period. The thing is, I'm fearful of leaving a brand new cat with my things without full supervision; ideally this would be the last room they'd be in just now, as I'm more attached to the stuff in my room than in the rest of the house. So I would probably need to move practically everything out of my room to be comfortable for the time being, as I wouldn't know yet whether they would be the sort of cat to chew up random things or get in places I didn't know were accessible and so on (beyond the standard dangerous stuff for cats—those would of course be removed/fixed). Then once I know them better, stuff could be brought out again under supervision and I could make sure nothing bad happens (to cat or object).

So TLDR: Bathroom is small and would still have to be minimally used with cat in it; bedroom would stress *me* out more and need more stuff to be maneuvered.

Neither option is great, but I'm not sure what else I could do. I just want both the new cat and I not to be super stressed, and nothing be destroyed or eaten or otherwise harmed or be harmful. Hopefully I'm just overthinking this and when the time comes, the cat will be totally fine and all my worry will be for nothing!! I've only had a couple of pretty-well-behaved dogs before so my mind just goes to worst-case scenario. Looking for suggestions on what to do when I eventually do get the cat!!
