The game is called "TV ID", and players "bid" on the least number of words they can use to get their teammates to name a TV show. For example, one player said they could do a show with 2 words and said "Five Women". The answer was Desperate Housewives.
It gets interesting when they bid one word. Here are some examples of one-word clues. Try to guess on your own, then click the spoiler link:

The Office
For two words, I'd go with "Talking Car" as a clue. Any other suggestions? And here's the real challenge: What clue would give so that people could guess Knight Rider using just one word? (Keep in mind, chances are your teammates wouldn't be KR freaks and might not understand "scanner" or something like that.)
Give it a try. One word to describe Knight Rider.
(The original video is on Hulu. Season 1, Episode 5, about 14 minutes in.
