I keep thinking about a show I used to watch on tv, and damn I wanna know the title :P

It was a live-action show that I saw somewhere between halfway the 90's and halfway the 2000's, and I'm almost sure it was produced around that time as well. It was in English, most likely an American show. It was for kids and/or teenagers.

Although I can hardly remember anything about the story, I do know some of the important details.

The show was about a room, I think an attic, where there was a large standing mirror, I think oval of shape. I don't know exactly how, but that mirror somehow connected the normal world (set in the here and now) to another world.

This world 'on the other side of the mirror' had a medieval-based setting, but with some fantasy elements. I remember the classic 'good vs. evil' being the main concept the story was revolved around. Some details and fragments that I rememer:

  • One of the 'bad guys' gets a magical or mechanical glove that she can shoot electrical bolts with, making her powerful and feared.
  • The intro of the show contains (or perhaps entirely exists of) the magical mirror and a cloudy sky as a background.
  • The medieval-like land is what the show is mainly about; the normal world is only seen in a few episodes I think.

Any ideas?

I seem to have some memory of the same thing. At first I thought it was Mr. Merlin but I don't think so. What I remember also involved a flight of stairs. – Dan Dec 14 '12 at 15:34
Hey, no it's not Mr. Merlin, it was definately not as old(-looking) as that one. But what do you mean by 'flight of stairs'? Can you give me some more detail about that? – poepje Dec 15 '12 at 19:08
I picture a mirror at the top of stairs with clouds all around. – Dan Dec 15 '12 at 23:32
Ah ok, that must be the same show I'm thinking about. – poepje Dec 17 '12 at 10:28

I think you're mixing up two shows. There are 2 Australian shows -

1) Mirror, Mirror and 2) Spellbinder

Spellbinder is certainly a good guess ... I remember it being on the Disney Channel in the late 90s... – jlmcdonald Jan 6 at 6:58
Spellbinder's the one, thanks a bunch! You may be right about mixing these two up, because although the youtube videos from Mirror Mirror don't ring any bells, the picture on its wikipedia page is exactly what I pictured for the intro. I'll check them both out :D – poepje Jan 7 at 13:44
You might have watched Mirror Mirror II, I watched them both as well but Mirror Mirror didn't ring a bell til I saw Mirror Mirror II. It was the graphics of them going through the mirror I remembered – Dave Jan 9 at 21:13

Possible it was The 10th Kingdom, a miniseries with 5 episodes that ran in the year 2000.

that's what i was thinking as well – DForck42♦ Dec 14 '12 at 6:20
Hey jlmcdonald, thanks for the answer. It's a good guess but unfortunately not the one I'm looking for. The series I'm talking about isn't as 'humoristic' (which I'm getting from watching the trailer of 10th Kingdom) and mostly plays in the fantasy world, rather than our world. – poepje Dec 15 '12 at 19:04
