So today my memory brought me to the weirdest recesses of my mind. I randomly remembered these two shows that were pretty similar. But I only can remember two episodes from each and a bit of the premise. No air dates, actors, or channels.
So the first I'm pretty sure was a normal kid probably middle school age, only weird things tended to happen to him (of course). I remember there was an episode that involved an old bomb detecting dog who could speak to the kid telepathically when the dog was being driven in a car (idk). Anyway the kid discovers that there is a bomb in the dumpster where his dad works and he asks the dog how to disarm it. The dog helps, but he can't tell the kid which wire to cut because (surprise) dogs are color blind.
The other show involved a normal high school kid that had weird things happen to him (why do I attract these shows?) This one had an episode that involved the typical these two must take care of a chicken egg for a class plot. Only the egg got switched with a changeling egg. The other episode I remember involved the guy getting infected by a parasite. It made him popular, but it soon started to die which almost killed him. I want to say there was a higher power behind these weird things, but idk.
So anyone else remember these or did my sleep deprived brain pull them out of thin air?
They sound a lot like something you'd see out of Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Tales from the Crypt or one of those other horror anthology shows that were hugely popular in the 90's.

It was more like the show So Wierd. Yes each episode had a different weird thing going on, but it was always the same main character.
There is another episode of the first show that I remember. It was the typical credit card plot. The father gave the kid a credit card and the kid used it recklessly. He found though that every time he checked his balance it always said he had the starting amount. Believing it was the weirdness, he took advantage of it and spent more recklessly. Turns out it was a bank error and he spent all his money
I have more of memory of the second show. If I remember correctly, I watched it sometime between 2007-9. I remember some details of the channel it was on. There was another show on the channel called The Tribe that involved a post apocalyptic setting rules by children (never actually watched it, that's the gist I got from it). The channel it was on eventually became a 24 hour movie channel. The provider was Comcast if it helps.
