newsgroup, here we call it "season" not "series". The whole six seasons
makes one series.

Where does it say it's a US newsgroup?

The problem is that anything not nailed down (in this case via a
country code, eg. alt.tv.lost.uk would be the British one, if such a
newsgroup existed) is instantly assumed to be owned by America, even
when it actually isn't.

I don't know. My other question is if Lost has six series finales in UK. How
do you guys call the last episode of each series?

That's why they had the "World Series" sports events that until

For that you can thank the "Americanization" of the world via TV,
magazines, books, etc. America may not currently run the world, but
simply by slow infiltration they at some stage basically will and
everyone will be misspelling "colour" and mispronouncing "aluminium"
... of course by then TXTing will have destroyed written language and
it will be "clr" and "alunm" anyway. :-(

And still doesn't (one Canadian team could enter though). World Baseball
Classic is the other tournament you're thinking about :)

God damn Hillbillies. That brings back memories of the 'Top gear" episode
(not sure which SERIES it was) when they all went to the states.
If America don't own something they steal it. One thing which really pisses
me off is seeing languages listed as English UK and English US. Whats the
fucking difference. The yanks stole it and are trying to dominate as usual.

That last sentence is Bill Gates' entire business philosophy, except
that he also has an extra bit where if he can't steal it he simply buys
it. :-(

The difference is that the "English US" is a corrupt version of English
with misspelling of words like "colour", changing the meaning of some
words an using a different word ("hood" instead of "bonnet") just to be
perverse.
It's because a lot of software ships with "English US" spellcheckers as
the default (if tnot the only choice!) that their version is slowly
becoming the standard.
Between America and TXT-speak they're slowly corrupting the proper
Queen's English like what we speak. Eventually everyone will simply be
using "English US". :-(

For US shows, I usually call them seasons. Most of my friends do as
well, and a common vocabulary is really what's important.
I think a main difference is that British TV never really had clearly
differentiated seasons. There certainly never has been a big "new
season" thing here, probably because we handle ratings differently.
You might get a series of six or ten shows each year, and another
series the next year, but another show might have a smattering of
episodes spread along the year, and another may be made continuously.
Some shows start and stop several times a year.

In the U.S., seasons started to coincide with the advertising
practices of the car makers, who would roll out their new models in
the Fall. Totally advertiser driven, which must be different when a TV
tax is involved.
Andrew
Mmmm That's the tastiest kind!
Tobias Heidelmann
BOTH terms!
Fred Ellis
No, you got that wrong. Has nothing to do with advertising cars. Has
to do with Americans taking summer vacations which in its' self has to
do with the American school system.
Most American schools would start the new school year/semester in mid
September and end in mid June. Families would then use the summer
months to take vacations. The major TV networks decided to started
their seasons to coincide with the school year became more Americans
would be home to watch TV and most likely traveling during the summmer
months. And since TV shows are paid through advertising dollars based
on the number of viewers it made sense to broadcast shows when people
would be available to watch.
Prior to TV shows there were radio programs. I believe they also used
the same set up with a new season starting in the fall and ending in
late spring.
The school year came about because the predominate rural America at that
time. The school year started out in late fall after the harvest and
run until early spring. The children then would be free to help out on
the family farm during the rest of the year. Over a period of time the
school year got longer until it started in early fall and ran until late
spring.

You'd think that someone over the course of the last 30 years would have
tipped network programmers off about the invention of VCR's and DVR's. Given
the tremendous success of a couple of programs that premiered in the summer
(American Idol and Survivor), I'm rather surprised that networks still
essentially take the summer off.

Many answers? Where did we get any answers?
I'm sure what you really meant to ask is -- how many spinoffs? Well,
you see what they might do is have the island break into chunks...

Thats funny I heard last year that they were only doing 2 more
seasons.
But they could do another Series about the lost guys on that raft,
Daniels group. they are now nowhere near the Dharma island and could
find another magic island for "Lost II".

long as everybody knows what you are talking about you can say it any
way you like for all i care. obviously i am not a native speaker, so my
grammar is (obviously again) very often incorrect. so what?
the original post of this thread is so very laughable that i wanted to
add something silly.

to satisfy my curiosity:
please explain why i should use quotation marks. I did not want to use
any of the cases when quotation marks should be used (as explained in
wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark). But Wiki is not
authoritative. So, would you like to explain the grammar to me?
