They can encompass various genres, including drama, comedy, reality, documentary, animation, and more. TV shows may be serialized, where a storyline unfolds over multiple episodes, or episodic, where each episode stands alone. They are created for entertainment, information, or education, and are often characterized by recurring characters, settings, and formats.

The format and length of TV shows vary, with some being short-form content of around 30 minutes and others having longer runtime, often over an hour. The rise of on-demand streaming services has significantly impacted how TV shows are produced and consumed, granting audiences more control over viewing schedules.
