Sad thing is I knew 3 each from blue and purple but took too long to solve yellow and guessed wrong one too many times.

First time I actually used the hint article and somehow

Green

I actually had to google what Kojak even is

also

Had to google crime dramas because I never heard of Monk

Also I have never heard of

Abbot and Laurel pair with. Does not ring a bell.

Tbh the green one jumped out at me immediately. I thought it was very easy. I only guessed it first because ones relating to the form of the word rather than its meaning are usually purple.

I also has to Google Kojak.

Spoilers

Abbot and Costello.

Laurel and Hardy.

Found green almost immediately, as well as Elementary and Monk from blue and Crown, Dome, and Skull from yellow. Then was lost for ages until I decided to Google wtf "Kojak" is, and around the same time figured out the purple connection. The rest of it fell in place fairly naturally after that.
