This TV series quiz mixes the shows people binge, rewatch and argue about, from cartoons and sitcoms to prestige dramas and Indian television classics. You will find questions on The Office, Doctor Who, Money Heist, The Mandalorian, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah and Ramayan, plus a few harder TV series quiz questions about cult hits like Twin Peaks and The Sopranos.
The quiz runs from easy to hard, so casual viewers can enjoy the first few questions while serious TV fans get tested near the end. It suits teens and adults, office quiz breaks, family evenings and friends who like to prove who has watched the most. Each answer has a short explanation with a behind-the-scenes fact, so this is a quiz about TV shows that also teaches you something.
Use it as a quick solo challenge, or put it on a big screen and play as teams. The full answer key sits below the quiz, and the related quizzes at the bottom of the page have more movie and pop-culture rounds.
Fun fact: when Doordarshan reran Ramayan during the 2020 lockdown, it drew so many viewers that the serial was back in the headlines more than three decades after it first aired.
