soap, short for soap-opera

Помимо series, которое используется по отношению и к более-менее осмысленным сериалам ("Six Feet Under", "Sopranos"), и к совсем простеньким юмористическим ("Friends", "Seinfeld"), есть еще слово soap opera или просто soap ("Dynasty", "Savannah", из современных "Days of our lives"), т.е. мелодраматическая жвачка. Посмотрите пример использования:

During the era of the 1980's primetime soaps (e.g., "Dallas" & "Dynasty"), NBC tried unsuccessfully to launch its own nightime serial with "Bare Essence." Originally, "Bare Essence" aired on CBS in the fall of 1982 as a 4-1/2 hour mini-series and scored huge ratings. However, CBS, whose roster was already full with three primetime soaps of its own, passed on turning "Bare Essence" into a weekly hour drama. NBC, who had never had its own succesful primetime soap, jumped at the chance and brought back "Bare Essence" as a weekly series in February 1983. Unforunately, the success enjoyed by the mini-series did not carry over to the show, which was one of the lowest rated that season, and thus, the show was quickly cancelled.

В жизни удаётся услышать "I missed my soaps yesterday" - "Я вчера прозевала все свои сериалы".

Thank you, Nikita
disagree shlepakoff : Aside from the fact that "serial" is never used in this context, the russian "сериал" is a noun, while "serial" is an adjective>>> Fair enough "serial" is a noun but not the one we are looking for

Please, see just some references above from the plenty examples available.
agree Jack Doughty : See http://staffweb.library.northwestern.edu/marc/procedures/acq... which gives a good definition of a serial, used as a noun.
