English term or phrase: telenovela

Som i http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telenovela, men ikke nødvendigvis spanskspråklig. Poenget er at i motsetning til de uendelige såpeoperaer har telenovela et begrenset antall episoder (som regel 180 visstnok eller 6-8 måneder sendetid). Det er noe mer enn miniserier som som regel bare har 3-4 (5-6-etc) episoder.

Takk Bjørnar! Jeg har brukt dette. Jeg har faktisk spurt oppdragsgiveren om det går an å fjerne hele ordet fra lista ettersom det er så likt såpeopera. Jeg har ikke TV selv, men jeg tror ikke TV-seere flest gjør forskjell mellom disse to.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Den viktigste forskjellen med såpeoperaer (som jeg sa i spørsmålet) er at såpeoperaer har en (teoretisk) ubestemt varighet, mens "telenovela" har et begrenset liv, så vidt jeg vet er det på forhånd bestemt.

Reference: Telenovela?

Reference information:

Note to reference poster

Asker: Yes, telenovela like in http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/telenovela , http://www.welovesoaps.net/2010/07/degrassi-goes-telenovela.html , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telenovela etc. The clue is, as far as I understand, the limited length of the complete serie (so it's not a neverending serie)
