ID That TV Show in 5 Clues

Cafe Society
1

Time for a new TV trivia game. Here’s how it works:

I will write five (and only 5) clues that will identify the name of a current or past TV show. The clues should be fairly unique to the show in question and not so incredibly obvious that someone who has never even watched the show will be able to figure it out. For example, say I want to list clues about The Simpsons. If I list these five clues, everyone and their dog will immediately figure it out:

  • Homer
  • Springfield
  • Sideshow Bob
  • Bart
  • Kwik-E-Mart

But if I go with these five clues, now people have to really think (I hope) before they figure out the answer:

  • Tibor
  • Frank Grimes
  • embiggen
  • inanimate carbon rod
  • Hail Ants!

After answering my first set of clues, feel free to add your own. Even if you don’t know mine, go ahead and add one (or more) of your own . Please quote the five clues when answering. Good luck!

Here is the first set of clues. What TV show do they all relate to?
