I think it is acceptable to use either term. Tho, as a pedant I tend to use series for British shows and Seasons for US shows. Just seems to happen and nothing I really deliberately do. But Neil, you do what you feel comfortable with, it's your gig after all. JC

Series all the way!

I think the series is a much better concept than the season. TV shows are a form of art and should be treated as such. 'Series' suggests a more artistic and textual approach than the largely economic concept of the 'season'

All Americianisms should be avoided at all times. We have a series. They have a season. We have petrol. They have gas. We have rubbish. They have trash. We have stones. They have rocks. I could go on, but you get my drift, don't you?!

We invented the television, we called it a series, it is therefore a series. When you are referring to a US show however season is appropriate. In my opinion.

I always say season when referring to any show, British or American. The word "series" causes a lot of disambiguations.

i just refer to all series as seasons now even if the show is British just out of habit, and no one i knows seems bothered by it.

Call it 'series' if it's from the UK, and 'season' if from the USA. Simple enough. :)

My general viewpoint is that American shows should have 'seasons' and British shows should have 'series'. Having said that, I do use the two interchangeably anyway. But I hate myself for it. Looking forward to next weeks Q&A already!
