>British "people" call a TV season a series. So a series has multiple series in it. They say things like "The first series, the second series" and so on.
Wtf.

>thing :o
>thing but british :B

they're also 6 episodes every 3 years

>>212053964 (OP)
Yeah, just like saying "The first season, the second season" and so on.

>>212053964 (OP)
Part of it comes down to how season came from how you would have a season of television, like the show being over the entire summer. You can do that with 22-26 episodes, not the 6 or 12 that British TV puts out.

It's a series of episodes. Only burgers are dumb enough to have to be told it's a limited series

these chips are very salty

Americans call Pizza a "Pie"

Americans do the same thing with Stranger Things

I liked "You're Crazy" way more than "Then The Morning Comes"

>on accident

>series Y makes sudden crazy change with new plot hooks compared to series X in order to keep engagement and buzz up so it doesn't look like a giant money sink and is cancelled
>series Z escalates even further

A lot of bong shows like to do this, and one anon said that in the long run, the downtime and production Hell most shows ran into was part of the fandom itself, mostly as an excuse to shitpost and speculate about random bullshit on the 'ol tellytext and cons. Red Dwarf was one of these shows, which you're supposed to watch with a mindset like MST3K, and less Star Trek, lest you start to notice that a bunch of plot shit happened offscreen/in a magazine interview column between series'

All stand for the national anthem of the Absolute State of America

So exactly the same as modern US shows then?

>>212053964 (OP)
it's called a season here because of the network tv season that ran from september through to may each year
why would other countries that don't have a tv season call a run of episodes a season?
use your fucking brain

YEAH WELL AT LEAST OUR SCHOOLS ARE NOT A SHOOTING GALLERY MATE

link to interview?

Back in the day at least, British shows didn't usually have to answer to sponsors and advertisers, so just made and shot sitcoms and that whenever the writer (often one bloke in a shed rather than 10 twats around a table like you'll find in America) whenever the script was ready. Whereas American shows have to stick to a strict season within their television schedule to make money for... well you know.

95% of people call it a season because we do what americans do. even broadcasters who are supposed to preserve the british language call them seasons.

>>212054166

like how it should be

how come we don't get 4 seasons per year? is it because it's always summer in hollywood?

>>212056647
Chicago took it too literally

>>212054166
>six episodes of unadulterated kino instead of 28 episodes of mediocre slop
Americans truly are not a serious people.

>>212054166
