TV Series

A one-time broadcast may be called a "special," or particularly in the UK a "special episode." A television film ("made-for-TV movie" or television movie"), is a film that is initially broadcast on television rather than released in theaters or direct-to-video. A program ... can be either recorded, as on video tape, other various electronic media forms, played with an on-demand player or viewed on live television. — en.wikipedia.org
