This would come to be known as a miniseries. Although the term was not coined until 1954, several other such miniseries were broadcast, including \u003ci\u003eJack and the Beanstalk\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWomen in Wartime\u003c\/i\u003e. In the mid-1960s the concept was developed into a genre that still exists. While the major broadcast networks pioneered the idea, it quickly became popular with cable and streaming services. This encyclopedic source contains a detailed history of 878 TV miniseries broadcast from 1936 to 2020, complete with casts, networks, credits, episode count and detailed plot information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVincent Terrace\u003c\/b\u003e has been a researcher for ABC television and is the television historian for BPOLIN Productions (an independent film and television producing company for which he has created two projected televisions series: \u003ci\u003eApril's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eApril and May: Ghost Hunters\u003c\/i\u003e (both starring actress-ventriloquist April Brucker).
