Anthology series

From TeeVeePedia, the Internet TV Encyclopedia.

In an anthology series the writers must come up with a completely new story and cast of characters each week. However, producers love them because they can screw over a new batch of actors each week; and networks love them because they can be rerun endlessly, even 40 years later.
