Welcome to 'The differences between countries' (tm)
Over here a 'TV show' has 'Series'. We don't really have Seasons. I think it's because, here we don't really have things like 'Fall line ups' and what not. Shows can run anytime. and tend not to be 20 odd episodes. Usually much less - 6/10 epiosdes. (I.e. Bottom/Doctor Who/Little Briton/Father Ted)
