Wow, this is spreading with lightspeed on my flist. And since everyone does it ... how could I resist? ;-)

- go to imdb.com and look up 10 of your favorite tv shows
- post three official imdb "plot keywords" for these 10 picks
- have your friends guess the show names

1. basement office, babe scientist, conspiracy
solved by koeln

2. female lead, teen, diner
solved by koeln

3. man with no name, gadget, eccentricity
solved by journal_ist

4. apocalypse, serial killer, religion
=> Millenium

5. transformation, ethnic conflict, bisexuality
solved by journal_ist

6. swede, disturbing, elevator
solved by hiyami

7. historical, flashback sequence, based on film
solved by hiyami

8. doctor, moose, eccentric
solved by koeln

9. cop, murder, crime investigation
=> Tatort

10. assassination plot, self destruction, nudity
solved by lexi599

Regarding number 9), that one is hard. They just have 4 keywords listed, so I give you one myself "capital cities" ... but I bet I will need to give you more :-) I t might also help that not all ten series are from the US.

EDIT: ok, another keyword for number 9) "Alberich" :-). And I thought 1) would be the easiest o.O
EDIT #2: Ich dachte "Alberich" wäre so was von offensichtlich für ein paar Leute auf meiner flist. Die "Serie" läuft schon laaaange und hat nur einen einzigen "Spin off", welcher in Duisburg spielt. Wolfgang Petersen hat mal Regie geführt bei einer Folge.
EDIT #3: Series number 1 has a crossover episode with number 4. There is also a character that appeares in both series, an author who writes a book about boths series main characters.
Series number 10 ... well someone used an icon from that series below :-)
Number 9 ... 'immer wieder sonntags...'

Hm... They're all hard.

3. John Doe? I'm not sure it all fits.

6. Kingdom Hospital. It's not Swedish, is it?

7. Highlander

10. Mission : impossible?

7) that was easy :-) Yes it's Highlander.
3) and 10) - no
6) Wow, I didn't expcet this to be solved THAT fast. Yes, it's Riget/Geister/The Kingdom. It's a Danish series but one of the main characters is a Swede, so it turned up as a keyword on imdb.

7) Strangely, for Highlander it's "based on film" that was the key word for me :)
And then the rest fitted.

6) Ah, "disturbing" gave it away - there was no elevator that I could remember in Twin Peaks ;)

Yeah, I thought "disturbing" was a very good keyword. I missed a lot of episodes from "Twin Peaks" when it was shown. But it's released on DVD now here and I borrowed the first box from a friend to finally catch up.

3. Doctor Who? (Habe ich gerade angefangen zu gucken und würde passen...:)

4. Battlestar Galactica?

5. Babylon 5

[kahvi-elf.livejournal.com]

3) & 5) ja :-) Der Doctor hat natürlich einen Namen, aber ich fand das "keyword" lustig und es passt ja auch zu seinem Standardsatz "no, just 'the Doctor'"
4) nein, fiel mir auch erst kurz nach Erstellen der Liste auf, dass ich überhaupt nicht an BSG gedacht habe. Es ist also gar nicht in der Liste.

[koeln.livejournal.com]

1. X-Files?
2. Gilmore Girls
4. Heroes?
8. Northern Exposure

9 ist zu unspezifisch, weil es cop-shows wie sand am meer gibt...

[kahvi-elf.livejournal.com]

1.,2. und 8. sind korrekt.
Zu 9.: Imdb hat leider nur vier total unspezifische keywords für die Serie aufgelistet. Deshalb habe ich selbst ja noch zwei nachgeschoben.

4: The Dead Zone?

[kahvi-elf.livejournal.com]

Nope, aber ich dachte du würdest vielleicht 10 erraten *schielt aufs Icon*

[lexi599.livejournal.com]

Rome?

Jaaaaa Applaus Applaus Applaus XD
