[edit] UK/US

I would prefer this more specify definition "a limited run program of more than two and less than the thirteen part season or half season block associated with serial or series programming."

That wouldn't work, since it's a specifically US definition. Six episodes is a series/serial in the UK, not a miniseries. Loganberry (Talk) 02:16, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, just add "in US" at the end of the sentence. Afaik the term is almost never used in UK except for US imports. The current definition ("is a production which tells a story in a limited number of episodes") is absolutety useless. Almost every series is limited somehow. Even a canceled series with 50 episodes is limited. Even if the series is limited to 500 episodes or something it would fit into current definition. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.246.214.114 (talk • contribs) 19:16, 5 November 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Shōgun

Shōgun (TV miniseries) should also be mentioned in this article, I just don't have time at the moment to weave it in properly. Athænara ✉ 03:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
