I’ll explain the most popular ones :)

Q1:Astrophysics – The Big Bang Theory
Q2: Biker – Sons of Anarchy
Q3: Paper – The Office << very popular show about paper supply company Dunder Mifflin. Not “newspaper”, not “scientific paper”. Just regular paper :)
Q4: Winter (…is coming) – Game of Thrones
Q5: College – Community
Q6: Day – 24 << This is the most popular question according to the poll and your comments :) The whole twist of the show is that each season takes place within one 24 hour period. Each episode is 1 hour of “real time”, 24 episodes in a season. One season = one day. This is why "day" was unique to this particular show.
Q7: Copywriter - Mad Men << This is the hardest one IMO if you haven’t seen the show. It is about ad agency. To simplify: copywriters are employees of ad agency.
Q8: Escape – Prison Break
Q9: Chemistry – Breaking Bad << My favorite show that inspired me to do this quiz :)
Q10: KGB – The Americans << This show is not as popular as the rest but could be easily googled.

That’s it. I hope you had fun! This was my first ever puzzle. I enjoyed it more than I expected so maybe I will do another one in the future :)


Original post:
I am very bad at solving puzzles, so here is a very bad puzzle for you to solve :D

Guess the names of popular TV shows using… wait for it… a single word as a hint! I’m a genius, I know. Obviously this “hint” is connected to the show in a major way.

Example:
Q: Zombie
A: The Walking Dead

GAs ended! Click HERE to try!

What’s at stake? 3 games from recent bundles with over 90% positive reviews. GA’s will run for the next 30 hours (ends midnight CST), so hurry! :)
Vote for a question you find most confusing and I may add more hints later.
As usual don't share results and don't forget to bump if you solved it.
EDIT: This puzzle is very easy and many have solved it, so I am not sure if any additional hints are incoming. You can find minor ones in comments. Just re-read what I said above.

Good job! I'd say copywriter is the hardest one. People over complicate "day" and "paper" :)

Q6 is the easiest one, but I need a hint for Q3. "Paper" has different meanings. Did you mean "newspaper" or paper as synonym of "sheet"?

You are overthinking it. Sometimes things are really just plain and simple ;)

Thanks but it's impossible to me without any hint, too many meanings for "paper". Good puzzle anyway.

Wow I feel so dumb with so many people solving it. It must be a popular show.

I think I give up with only Q3 unsolved. "Paper" could refer to:

  • Sheet to draw
  • Newspaper
  • An academic article
  • An exam/test
  • Schoolwork

Too many meanings for a single word.

Paper was one of the easiest for me. Let's switch minds, as Q6 was the easiest for you. :P

Well, you know, "day" means day, "paper" means all of the terms above.
