Serial Feature:  A feature presentation (75 - 90 minutes) initially released as a series of video webisodes (usually 30) over a pre-determined length of time (usually six weeks).   Looking Glass 3.0, The Trip, and Holidaze are generally considered to be the first serial features and were released by KollegeTV in 2008 and 2009.  Although today serial features vary in content, style, and target audience, the three orignals featured jumps in time,  bizarre points of view, and broad portrayals of the lead characters.  This is also where the ridiculous ruminations of ÒNow/HereÓ author Professor Robert L. Euren (Merle Kessler of DuckÕs Breath Mystery Theater) first appeared on the world wide web.
