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:
“I thought I never wanted to be a father. A child seemed to be a series of limitations and responsibilities that offered no reward. But when I experienced the perfection of fatherhood, the rest of the world remade itself before my eyes.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
