| language | The original language or languages of the show. Do not link to a language article, e.g., [[English language|English]], per WP:OVERLINK. |
| num_seasons or num_series |
The number of seasons (US) or series (UK) produced. Use one or the other, not both. The season parameter should only be incremented once the first episode of that season has aired, or if a reliable source confirms production has commenced. An inline citation is required if the total number of seasons produced is greater than the number aired. |
| num_episodes | The number of episodes released. This episode parameter should only be incremented when new episodes air or when a reliable source can confirm that an episode has finished production. An inline citation is required if the total number of episodes produced is greater than the number aired, such as in the case of a show being cancelled. |
| list_episodes | If a Wikipedia "List of" article exists for the show's episodes, put its name here. Do not use a link (i.e. do not include [[ ]]). |
| Production-specific | |

| cinematography | The director of cinematography or lead cameraman. |
| camera | Either Single-camera or Multi-camera. |
| runtime | Episode duration. Should not include commercials and should be approximated, e.g. "22–26 minutes" for most half-hour shows. |
| company | The names of the production companies. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. |
| distributor | The names of the distributor companies. Separate multiple entries using {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}}. |
| Broadcast-specific | |
| channel or network |
The original channel(s) or network(s) on which the show has appeared. Do not add foreign broadcasters here. Use links if articles are available. |
| picture_format | The video or film format in which the show is or was originally recorded or broadcast. (Black-and-white, Film, 405-line, NTSC (480i), PAL (576i), SECAM (576i), HDTV 720p, HDTV 1080i. Do not use "SDTV" as it is ambiguous.) |
| audio_format | The format in which the show's sound is broadcast. (Monaural, Stereophonic, Surround.) |
| first_run | The country or region where the show was first broadcast. Omit if the same country as country of origin above or if the show has only been broadcast in one country or region. Do not link to a corresponding article per WP:OVERLINK. |
| first_aired | Date the show first aired on its original channel or network. Only insert the date after it has happened. Parameter is not restricted to a "premiere" date. In the event a program airs a full "preview" episode on TV in advance of a premiere, that date should be used instead. Use {{Start date}}(e.g. {{start date|1981|02|26}}) so that the date is included the template's hCalendar microformat, and is properly formatted according to a reader's Wikipedia date and time preferences. Add |df=y if the article uses the dmy date format. |
| last_aired | The first airdate of the show's last episode on its original channel or network. Use "present" if the show is ongoing or renewed and {{end date}} if the show is ended. Only insert the last episode's date after it has happened. In some cases the fate of a program might be uncertain, for example if there are no announcements that a show has been renewed. If such a program has not aired a new episode in 12 months, "present" can be changed to the date the last episode aired, using {{end date}}. This does not imply the series has been cancelled, rather that the program "last aired" on that date. This is to prevent programs from being listed as "present" in perpetuity. |
| Chronological | |
| preceded_by | If Show A was a predecessor of Show B, insert the name of Show A and production years. (Name in italics (linked if possible) followed by year-to-year in parentheses, e.g. ''[[That Ol' Show]]'' (1956–1957).) |
| followed_by | If Show A was a successor of Show B, insert the name of Show A and production years (as for preceded_by above). |
| related | Related TV shows, i.e. remakes, spin-offs, adaptations for different audiences, etc. (For example, The Office (UK TV series) and The Office (US TV series); The Upper Hand and Who's the Boss?; etc.) |
| External links | |
| website | The show's official website (usually hosted by the network or production company). Only enter the URL; formatting is automatic. (Do not use {{URL}} in this parameter.) |
| website_title | The name of the official website. If omitted, the default title is "Website". |
