Anthology

Used for:

Omnibus

Scope Note:

Work, most commonly a television series (although occasionally a feature), without continuing characters, often linked by host, genre, original source, or reappearing star. Also use for work containing multiple, diverse segments that cover a wide range of topics and genres. Note: When single segments of an anthology belong to a specific genre, but are not applicable to the series or feature as a whole, use the genre without the form in addition to a broad genre for the entire work (for example, TWILIGHT ZONE: AN OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK BRIDGE would use "Fantasy--Anthology--Television Series" and the additional genres Adaptaion, Historical and War for that particular episode). Feature examples: FACE TO FACE (1952) (with Adaptation); FLESH AND FANTASY (1943); NEW YORK STORIES; QUARTET (1949) (with Adaptation); TALES OF MANHATTAN; TALES OF TERROR (with Horror; Adaptation); TRIO (with Adaptation); TWICE-TOLD TALES (with Horror; Adaptation); TWILIGHT ZONE--THE MOVIE. TV examples: ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS (with Thriller); DICK POWELL'S ZANE GREY THEATER (with Western); HALLMARK HALL OF FAME; KRAFT TELEVISION THEATER; OMNIBUS; OUTER LIMITS (with Science fiction); SCREEN DIRECTOR'S PLAYHOUSE; TWILIGHT ZONE .
