Talk:Serial (radio and television)

message: I have removed the tag made by CorenSearchBot, left because it "appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.biodatabase.de/serial".  This article was split from the Wikipedia article Serial.  The external webpage appears to a copy of that, original, wikipedia article. - AdamBMorgan 12:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Are 'serial' and 'series' completely interchangeable when talking about dramatic tv programmes? Ie: 'Lost' - which word is best for it? Just wondering:) Malick78 (talk) 18:17, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Is Fringe really a good example of a serial drama? The episodes have a strong "case-of-the-week" format, with minimal attention spent on building a story arc. I haven't seen all the episodes though, maybe this changes later.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.112.46.18 (talk) 02:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Not only is the person who wrote this section a sesquipedalian (see I can use big words to make you feel dumb as well), but they also should have considered merging the Other Uses For The Term Serial section with this one. Although the United States use the term serial in some rare occasions, the country that seems to use the term the most is the United Kingdom. I also believe that someone who is actually interested in doing some editing should take a look at the Television Program article. It seems that there is more information about serials on that page than there is on this one.

thread_title:  Terminology 

message: Although the NYT article referenced in this sentence: "As of 2012 CBS has not aired a serial drama in many years, in part because of the success of its non-serial procedurals", does in fact state this, the fact is that The Good Wife is highly serialized, as seen in the first paragraph of it's Wikipedia article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.55.99.246 (talk) 13:47, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Writing for Television: Series, Serials and Soaps (Creative Essentials) by Yvonne Grace; "Series are open ended storylines with usually, but not always, a precinct that the world sits within. Serials have a definite ending; the story has an end point over usually a shorter span of episodes."Halbared (talk) 22:15, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
