There were also other versions of the Twilight Zone in 1985-1987, 2002-2003 and 2019-2020. Those shows were all called The Twilight Zone so they should all be excepted.

There's also multiple versions of The Office (British, Australian etc.) so you should probably say in parentheses that it's the US version you're referring to.

See, for the Twilight Zone I thought it would be obvious enough that it was referring to the original show. Depending on what others think, I’ll consider accepting some of the other years. For the Office, I’d rather keep it like this because the U.S. version is the most well known.

not at all, AFAIK the original is the british one, by Ricky Gervais.

anyway the title says "U.S. shows" so this excludes the other versions

Multiple years for Twilight Zone exists, as stated. One could even argue Star Trek...

Perhaps just scale it either to "original series" OR include all versions.

And definitely put (US) next to The Office.

It's a really cool quiz, just needs minor tweaks.

Please could you accept the UK version of The Office? This was the original show and ran in the UK from 2001-2003.

D'oh, wasted most of my lives on The Twilight Zone because I somehow misread it as the X-Files.
