Topic: Season or Series?

	Twistin Member since Jan 2012 2055 Points	Very unusual, new one on me. According to English.Stackexchange: In the US, "series" refers to the entire collection of episodes from all years, and "season" refers to a batch of episodes broadcast in a run, usually in the same year. ... However, it's important to note that a UK "series" is usually only six episodes long, whereas a US "season" is ususally 22 episodes. So the US takes a good half year, making "season" much more approriate for US programmes! and most relevantly... Although, due to the influx of US programmes, the US "season" is becoming more widespread in the UK, especially when talking about American programmes. Perhaps US shows should be referred to in those notes as Seasons then? They are certainly identified as such on the home media releases and on the majority of media outlets. I have a bunch of series' of old shows from the 60s & 70s from various European countires and they are generally six episodes, which is more similar to our mini-series. That link is an interesting read.
