How to Play
01
Type a name
Type a TV show name and hit Go or Enter.
02
We validate
Series titles only — Friends works; a film title or an actor name usually does not.
03
Race the clock
Timer starts on your first submit and runs up. No hard cutoff.
04
Hit 100 & share
Hit 100 and the round ends — or Finish early to share a score.
You binge the episodes. Can you name the show?
Streaming shelves make you feel fluent until the titles have to come from your head. The first twenty are easy — the sitcom you grew up on, the prestige drama everyone quoted, the cartoon still stuck in your head. Then you remember a theme song and blank on the name.
This is a typing recall quiz, not a poster picker. Type a series title; Wikidata confirms it is a TV show. Shared format: What is the Name 100 challenge?. Theatrical films belong on Name 100 Movies. Characters from those shows belong on Name 100 Fictional Characters, not here.
Series title, not the movie, not the actor
Prefer the primary English title (“Breaking Bad”, not an episode name). Miniseries can count when Wikidata files them that way. A theatrical film generally fails — open the movies challenge for those. Foreign shows can count; the English listing Wikidata uses is safer than a title that is not the English label.
What counts
- Type the primary English series title — “Breaking Bad”, not an episode name, actor, or character.
- Television series and programs in Wikidata count. Theatrical films generally fail — use Name 100 Movies for those.
- Each show counts once. Another spelling of the same Wikidata entry is rejected.
- No hard cutoff. The timer runs up from your first submit. Hit Finish anytime to lock a score.
How to Play
- Type a TV show title and submit.
- We check Wikidata for television series / program entities in real time.
- Collect 100 unique titles. Timer runs up — no sudden cutoff.
- Share your TV show quiz score with friends.
How to push past 40 shows
Sweep by network era — network sitcoms, prestige cable, then streaming originals. One pass of cartoons, one of reality formats you actually watched, then international hits under their English title.
