Conundrum: Venn & Stimpy
In a Venn Diagram puzzle, there are three overlapping circles, marked A, B, and C. Each circle has a different rule about who or what can go inside. The challenge is to guess the rule for each circle. You can find a more detailed explanation of Venn Diagram puzzles, along with an example, here.
Last week, Conundrum paid tribute to the silver screen. This week, we move to the small screen. Each of the eight titles below refers to a television series.
Have you figured out one of the rules? Two? All three? Feel free to post whatever you’ve got in the comments below. Just tell us which circle you’re solving, and what the rule is.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: Circle B solved by DeLisa. Circles A and C solved by Kenneth W. Davis. See comments for answers.

Is B that they all take place in military settings?

You are correct!

The titles in circle A all contain abbreviations.

Ooh, ooh. The series in circle C are all spin-offs.

Just a thought: It might be fun to ask us not to post answers, but to post new members of each set, as you did in the “picnic” conundruims.

I thought of that, but I was worried it might be too confusing with three circles going at once.
But I do agree it’s more fun that way. It gets more people involved, and keeps the game active longer. It’s also an extra challenge for the early solver, and an extra help for the late one. Maybe we can experiment with the format at some point.
This week’s Conundrum, however, is done, as you are correct on both circles! Well done!
