The TV series is a program that is presented every week, and the episodes can run thirty minutes to one hour. They film several episodes and are either presented yearly or semiannually. There are a limited number of episodes, and the season usually ends with a “cliff hanger” episode to make the observer come back in the fall or the summer to see what happens.
A movie or motion picture tells a story, and it is not a weekly short program. The average movie runs about 90 to 120 minutes, and it allows the characters to develop during that time frame. The film also has a beginning and ending, is shown in a movie theater or can be watched on your home TV.
Both movies and television have a rich history, and each has its appeal. Movies were here before the television came on the scene, and they were silent; the sound came later.
