Guess the show from lyrics

What you’ll do in this quiz

Theme songs can be unforgettable—even when you only catch a few words. In this quiz, you’ll guess the TV show from short lyric snippets drawn from a wide range of series.

Each question uses a 4-option multiple-choice format with no timer, so you can think it through, replay the tune in your head, and learn as you go.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll sharpen lyric recall, connect catchphrases to shows, and spot era-specific writing styles across TV theme songs. It’s also great practice for separating similar-sounding intros from different networks and decades.

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

Many themes share generic phrases like “friends,” “together,” or “welcome,” which can bait quick guesses. Watch for unique names, locations, or signature lines that anchor the lyric to one specific show.

Difficulty and question settings

Difficulty is balanced by mixing obvious, iconic themes with deeper cuts and trickier lyric-only clues. Choose your preferred question count and difficulty before you start—short runs are great for warm-ups, while longer sessions help build pattern recognition.

• Look for proper nouns (names, cities, places) that narrow the show instantly
• Don’t overvalue one common word; focus on the full phrase and tone
• Use elimination: compare which option best matches the era and genre
• Expect near-misses: spin-offs and reboots can share similar wording
• When stuck, pick the option whose theme is most lyric-driven (not purely instrumental)
