  Television program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A television series that is intended to air a finite number of episodes is usually called a miniseries in the US and a serial in the UK.
Common TV program periods include regular broadcasts (like TV news), TV series (usually seasonal and ongoing with a duration of only a few episodes to many seasons), or TV miniseries which is an extended film, usually with a small pre-determined number of episodes and a set plot and timeline.
While television series appearing on TV networks are usually commissioned by the networks themselves, their producers' earn greater revenue when the program is sold into syndication.

 Chapter 10 - Made for TV Movies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Made for TV movies generally are made on smaller budgets and tighter schedules than feature films and therefore days are not as long nor scenes shot quite so many times.
"Where Are My Children" was a made for TV movie about a woman whose three children were taken away from her when she was serving a short jail sentence for the unauthorized hitching of a ride on a navy plane.
One thing about working on either feature films or made for TV movies is that at the time of filming you often don't know if the movie will have the same name when it's released or when it will be shown.

However, it should be remembered that a lot of the TV series from the 70s and 80s were generally inspired by movies, so perhaps these things are just coming full circle.
Re-using the name of a well-known TV series gives access to what is effectively an established brand, and saves a lot of money that would otherwise need to be spent establishing a film in the public consciousness.
The fact is, all these 80s TV series are based on good (albeit predictable) plotlines and reflect a simplistic view of 80s society.

The series itself was standard low-key anthology drama with the occasional exceptional script.
George Maharis was forced to leave the series temporarily due to a nasty case of hepatitis in the spring of 1962, well into filming the show's third season.
Maharis made headlines when he was busted in 1974 for engaging in a sex act with a male hairdresser in a public bathroom in LA; he had been arrested previously on a charge of lewd conduct after propositioning a vice-squad officer in a Hollywood restaurant restroom in 1967 but, hey, that could happen to anybody.

I would like to dwell a bit on such concepts as a “TV serial,” a “TV project,” and “big-screen cinema.” I did 10 parts of The Idiot not because we had to operate on a shoestring budget and television is a low-cost production.
The fact is that a TV serial is an ideal format to get across complex, multi-figure and multidimensional works.
Incidentally, The Idiot was made on regular film while in The Master we are using new, state-of-the-art, and rather expensive HD technology, and then the 162 minutes of imagery will be digitally processed.

 Amazon.com: Planet of the Apes - The Complete TV Series: DVD: Roddy McDowall,Ron Harper,James Naughton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The TV series had a very unique way of discussing very important topics such as racism, loyalty, honor, as well as the value of ape/human friendship, and many more.
Unfortunately the series was cancelled after only 13 broadcasts (having something to do with the fact that CBS put the show up against "Sanford and Son" and "Cheecho and The Man", two of the most popular shows on television at that time..very unwise indeed).
Since the TV show was more straight sci-fi (with only a tint of allegory) and less satire, it used a more logical, recognizable version of the human race.

I viewed the books as being part of one big book series that with a mission: to define these series as works of art, and to apply the tenets of film theory and criticism to prove that notion.
My goal was to return to these series and study their visuals, their themes, their ideas, and assemble texts that synthesize new theories about them, using my film background as a guide and underlying foundation.

The series was made by Comedy Dept. at the BBC, not Drama (as with 'Dr Who' and 'Blakes Seven').
Besides the painstaking animation work by Pearce Studios and a few days location filming, each episode was made in only one day in a standard TV studio (one day every fortnight).

About 15 months ago, the prolific TV series writer-producer went into full "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this any more!" mode over the proliferation of reality series.
In truth, when Kelley gave that moving speech, there was no reality series on the air or, surprisingly, even in development in which contestants compete to marry a terrorist.
But there was this enormously successful reality series in which a bunch of young women competed to be crowned official made-for-TV girlfriend of a guy they thought was a millionaire but who really was a construction worker.
