In television, a limited-run series is a program with a predetermined end date. The shortest form is the two-part or three-part "made for television movie." Longer forms include the miniseries and elimination-style reality television game shows, such as dating game shows. The longest form of limited-run series is the telenovela, typically spanning approximately 120 episodes.
Famous quotes containing the word series:
“Life ... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one, things that simply won’t be got rid of.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1928)
