TV Opening Sequences Quiz
Identify each TV show by a single frame taken from their opening titles. All those years spent on the sofa watching mindless entertainment can finally pay off, if only in Internet glory.

I wrote this to give my friends (mostly longtime pub-quizzers) something to puzzle over. None of the shows are obscure (I tried to provide a healthy mixture of old and new shows) but this is harder than it seems.

I guess this confirms I either watch too much tv or I spend too much time paying attention to the things no one needs to pay attention to. Probably both.

Now do a Pro Mode: obscure shows, but less obscure frames, maybe featuring one or more lead actors.

I got seven (I don’t watch much TV). And then followed the “I’ve posted the answers” link. I read down to the answers and found a sneering Nelson laugh saying they’d been taken down again because “I want people to take the quiz.” When I hit the back button, all answers had been erased.

The quiz was fine, but the time wasting with the dark pattern on the answers/erasure felt pointless and manipulative. In the immortal words of a Hollywood legend, “thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.”
