More often than not, I come upon these words and phrases connected with TV. I searched dictionaries, but I'm not sure that I understand the difference between them. Could you please tell me if my understanding of them is correct?
- TV series -- a part of a longer "movie" broadcast regularly on television; AmE?,
- serial -- the same as series? BrE?,
- TV show -- quiz shows, talk shows, morning shows, reality TV shows etc. but not TV series/serials,
- program -- anything on TV including TV series/serials, TV shows, the news, weather forecast an so on,
- installment -- the same as TV series and TV show (I'm particularly unsure of this one).
