    A teleplay is a television play, a comedy or drama written or adapted for television. The term surfaced during the 1950s with wide usage to distinguish a television plays from stage plays for the theater and screenplays written for films. All three have different formats, conventions and constraints.
    An old terminology used in TV for movies "made for TV". They were usually an hour to an hour and a half in length and had few commercials than now. In older days, TV shows were mostly 1/2 hr shows. Movies were few and far between because of jealousy between the two industries.
