Worst "hint" is:
Ooh, this is pretty tough. Have never been good at puzzles. :P
I'll give it a try though.

3 minutes! I wish I would have signed in first (I didn't notice the sign in at the top). My first puzzle here - great fun!.

Now it says 9 minutes, I don't understand. Is it just stating the time since it was completed, not the time to finish?
Edit: I see now, it's not a time based puzzle but a race to complete.

got 7/10 on the first try, the last three are probably shows I haven't watched yet, hm... this might take a while :/

Everything answered except Q6. I think I might need to take a short break and hope inspiration strikes in the interim.

Boom! Bump for solved. Thanks for the fun puzzle!
I'm guessing that you chose these shows because you are a fan of them. I have not seen them all, but some of my tastes seem to overlap with yours. If you haven't seen them yet, you should definitely watch Rick & Morty (comedy) and The Wire (drama). I consider them to be great television shows, and I think you might also find them quite enjoyable.

I like these shows and I am a fan of some of them :) Q9 is my favorite!
Rick & Morty - started watching a week ago. Great fun!
The Wire - I like it too. I saw first 2 seasons. Need to finish the rest :)

I have to admit, I didn't think one-word hints would be enough but...bump for solved!

Solved! I should probably watch a few of these as they've got good reviews. Got very lucky with my answers on Q5 and 6!

Most of these shows are very good. I do recommend at least trying them. :)

yaaay, I made it just in time for last place on the leaderboard ;) Q6 had me really stumped there for a while. Thanks for the GAs! Two of these games I've wanted for a while :)

Ah, I got the astrophysics one. Never like that show, so didn't come to my mind.

Yeah, finally got the paper one. But completely lucky, going through list of shows since I don't remember all of the ones I watched or tried watching, and thought this one fits the criteria... But really loosely :D
One more left now, day.

I finally did it, but it's quite stupid with #6. Don't want to say why to reveal anything, but really..

Bump for solved!
And I think that the hint for Q6 is brilliant ^^

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.
