message: The lede paragraph is:A television show (often simply TV show) is any content produced for broadcast via over-the-air, satellite, cable, or internet and typically viewed on a television set, excluding breaking news, advertisements, or trailers that are typically placed between shows. Television shows are most often scheduled well ahead of time and appear on electronic guides or other TV listings.
I am not sure that this is correct.  For example, YouTube videos watched on a Smart TV are not generally considered a television show.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:41, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely when it comes to purely online content, definitions can get fuzzy. There are certainly some YouTube creators that make what that are considered "TV shows", but a lot of content doesn't fit in that mould. Perhaps if we flip the order of that line to something like "any content produced primarily for viewing on a television set and broadcast via...", that might make your average YouTube video not fit there because they are intended for computer or mobile viewing. -- Netoholic @ 13:26, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is and is not a television show? 

message: On many articles for TV/Film across the wiki distinguish film from television (such as "this is a television show" or "this is a film"). I've always been annoyed by this. Is TV not also film? PortalMan2 (talk) 23:06, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

message: I've always wondered why the Brits insist on using "series" to refer to both a show itself and its sets of episodes, when the widely used and understood, unambiguous term "seasons" is available. Doesn't it cause no end of confusion? You know, like using the same word for an egg carton and the eggs it contains? No one would blame them for not having thought of it first, if that's what worries them. It seems oddly omissive not to include some sort of explanation of why they retain this contradictory practice (which doesn't make editing UK-TV-related WP articles any easier either, LOL). – AndyFielding (talk) 01:02, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not just Britons mate. A show itself is literally referred to as 'show', as you said yourself. 'Thomas the Tank Engine is a television show, and one might find its best series to be series four and series five.' I would never refer to a programme, like Thomas the Tank Engine, as a 'TV series'. I would trust a chauvinist yank to declare his own appropriation of English 'widely used and understood' and try to make criticisms on English English, ie the English made and spoken by Englishmen, not North Americans. As this article clearly informs, seasons is used because of the mode of broadcasting in the US. Why should that be adopted elsewhere when it lacks the etymology? Rather like ass having zero etymological connexion to arse, and boy do North Americans enjoy saying ass.Wooblo (talk) 11:56, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
