SERIES = AN ENTIRE TELEVISED STORY, from the first episode of the first season to the last episode of the last season.

SEASON = One segment of a series, usually a year's worth of sequential episodes.

The two words are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. Only a few shows include more than one series, and they're most often identified as "The old series" and "The new series" or by the year or decade in which they ran, rather than "Series 1," "Series 2," etc.

I think this is a regional thing actually, since I usually see it with British shows.

Yeah, it's regional, I noticed the difference when I started watching Torchwood and Doctor Who.

Yeah, this one is regional. Brits (and maybe Aussies?) refer to seasons as series.

That's strictly an American thing. The rest of the world has programmes that are broken into series and they don't always get dragged out for a year.

Unless you're British. For British people, a season of a show is called a series. I don't know how that doesn't get confusing if they're trying to differentiate between a single season and the entire series (or maybe they use some other word instead of series when they're talking about the entire thing, I'm not sure) but that's what they do.

Where I live, people often use the word for "series" to refer to an individual episode of a series.

Drives me up the wall, but some things just aren't worth arguing over.

(I will correct the shit out of blatant grammatical and sṕelling mistakes, though.)
