How do I cite a television show in APA Style?
Answer
- APA Style does not distinguish how a television show was viewed, i.e. DVD, streaming, etc.
- Include the writers and directors for the episode. Include the contributor’s role in parentheses after each name.
- Provide the season number and episode number after the title in parentheses.
- Provide the production company or companies in the source element of the reference. Separate multiple production companies with a semicolon.
