Made for screens. TV shows are programs made to be watched on televisions, computers, phones, and other devices. They can come to you through cable, satellite, internet streaming, or broadcast signals sent through the air.

Big production work. Most TV shows are created by teams of people working in studios with lots of cameras, or by film companies that make the shows and send them to TV networks. It takes many people working together to make even one episode.

Many types exist. TV shows include comedy series that make you laugh, dramas with exciting stories, reality shows about real people, game shows with competitions, cartoons, documentaries about nature and history, and so much more.

Shared experience. Millions of people around the world watch the same TV shows at the same time or whenever they want on streaming services. This shared experience lets people talk with their friends and family about what happens next.

Regular schedules. Some TV shows air new episodes every week on the same day and time, so audiences know when to tune in. Other shows release all episodes at once on streaming platforms for people to watch whenever they choose.
