wordplay - TV Title Mondegreens


Inspired by the original Twisted TV Titles and its follow-up, I came up with a similar puzzle. This one builds on the idea of Mondegreens - misheard lyrics (like “Excuse me while I kiss this guy” instead of “Excuse me while I kiss the sky”). This is misheard TV Show Titles.


I’ll give a description of what the show could be, and you can give the misheard title, along with the real show title. For example:



Clue: Linda never realized how much she relied on her android until she lost it


Answer: Missed Her Robot - Real title: Mister Robot




  1. A story about herbed black tea - Clue: This one is way simpler than you think. If you just name a black tea, you'll likely get it right!

  2. The creator of X-Files and Breaking Bad opens an optometry clinic

  3. Briefly looking at clones

  4. From The Darjeeling Limited to Rushmore, we learn all about this director’s universe

  5. Due to the bartender - Clue: This refers to a well-known bartender on a show that is currently airing (as of March, 2018) - Clue 2: It refers to a very animated bartender

  6. Will definitely stay closed without a key


  7. Broken Buildings

  8. Wander around

  9. A man who never drives during the day
