Isn't each Big Brother episode it's own show? So therefore each Big Brother is "a set of related television or radio programs" and thus a series?

Our terminology for things is:
A show is something that comes on frequently, usually once a week. I.e. Big Brother, NCIS, CSI
A Season is a show that is on for months, like Jan-May and then again in Aug-Nov, our shows aren't usually year round
A series is several seasons put together like Season 1, Season 2, Season 3 would all be a series.
You call several books i.e. Harry Potter a series don't you? Why wouldn't you call shows/seasons that too?

Yeah, I would call several books a series, that's why I call several shows a series as well

We call several seasons a series

They way I think about it is, seasons change with the seasons(summer, spring, fall, winter). Our television seasons change with our Seasons
