Oh, good guess. I'm thinking undercover or plain clothes. Hence, Kojak or the Wire.

Correct. The other guesses since my last post were all wrong.

There are still 10.5 points to be won, so Kumabjorn's lead isn't as comfortable as it looks...

It's funny with these titles. In Germany we had a US sitcom running under the title "Alle unter einem Dach", which means the same thing as "Under Samme Tak" in Norwegian and "Pod istim krovom" in some other language. And while the last one and the first one were used for the same show at least, the Norwegian one refers to an entirely different show. Hint: What has a roof and who lives under one?

The red herring has a pretty strong smell it would seem...

doubleshuffle · 09-16-2014, 03:24 AM

I'm really beginning to like the Finnish one. Pulmuset seems to be the plural of pulmunen, which is the name of a bird I had never heard of, the snow bunting. Made no sense at all. But then I found out that there is a Finnish idiom, puhdas kuin pulmunen, which means "pure as a snow bunting", basically an equivalent to English "pure as the driven snow."

So, which US sitcom could deserve the title "Pure as the Driven Snow"?

1. Gun Smoke?

I think I know which one 5 is, but I simply don't know the original title. It is the one with Bob Saget and the Olsen twins and someone called Tony Stanza I think. God this is frustrating.
