The Ultimate TV Show Trivia Quiz – Shows Everyone Talks About

Television has created some of the most loved stories in popular culture. Sitcoms such as Seinfeld and Friends filled living rooms with laughter in the 1990s, and their catchphrases and settings, from Monk's Café to Central Perk, are still recognized around the world.

Animated series have proved just as lasting. The Simpsons, set in the town of Springfield, became the longest-running American scripted primetime show. Workplace comedy reached new heights with The Office, set at the Dunder Mifflin paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Drama changed as well. Breaking Bad followed a chemistry teacher who becomes a criminal, while Game of Thrones, based on George R. R. Martin's books, became a global event. Streaming then brought new hits such as Stranger Things, set in the town of Hawkins, and Squid Game from South Korea, which showed that non-English shows could top charts everywhere.

The Emmy Awards honor the best of television every year. Whether you love classic sitcoms or binge-worthy dramas, these shows are part of a shared culture that people enjoy talking about.

Streaming has also changed how we watch. Instead of waiting a week for each episode, viewers can now watch whole seasons at once, and shows from South Korea, Spain and Germany can become global hits overnight, reaching audiences that older networks never could.
