[QUOTE="Gabriel Maxwell, post: 102782, member: 121"] I used to think the same since the word 'show' is often used in Europe to indicate a variety type of program with singing and dancing, whereas scripted programs would be called series or serials. People here are often surprised when I refer to scripted programs as "shows". The most unusual however is using the name of a star of a scripted program in its title (as opposed to, say, the name of the character they're playing), which often happened with classic scripted comedy series like [I]The Dick Van Dyke Show[/I] or [I]The Andy Griffith Show[/I].
