Greek term or phrase: αυτοτελή
Παρατηρούμε ότι πρωταρχικό ζητούμενο πολλών ερευνών, στις οποίες εξετάζεται η πολυμέρεια του τηλεοπτικού προγράμματος, είναι κατά πόσον αυτή διαφοροποιείται στο πέρασμα του χρόνου και το πως αυτή αποτυπώνεται στα προγράμματα της ιδιωτικής και της δημόσιας τηλεόρασης αντίστοιχα. Χαρακτηριστική είναι η έρευνα των Aslama, Hellman και Sauri, «Finnish Television Programme Supply 2000», που πραγματοποιήθηκε υπό την αιγίδα του φιλανδικού υπουργείου Μεταφορών και Επικοινωνιών. Οι ερευνητές στη συνέχεια παρουσίασαν τα ευρήματα της σχετικής έρευνας σε σχετικό άρθρο. Βασικός σκοπός της έρευνας ήταν η περιγραφή της τηλεοπτικής εκροής τεσσάρων τηλεοπτικών σταθμών εθνικής κάλυψης (δυο δημόσιων και δυο ιδιωτικών) για το 2000 και η σύγκρισή της με τα δεδομένα της διετίας 1997-1999. Ενώ, κεντρικό σημείο διερεύνησης απετέλεσε ο βαθμός πολυμέρειας της τηλεοπτικής εκροής. Επίσης, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν μεταξύ άλλων οι εξής μεταβλητές: είδος προγράμματος, διάρκεια, προέλευση των παραγωγών, συχνότητα προβολής (πρώτη/κανονική προβολή ή επανάληψη) και συνέχεια προβολής (αν δηλαδή επρόκειτο για προγράμματα που προβάλλονταν σε συνέχειες ή ήταν ***αυτοτελή***). Aslama, M., Hellman, H. & Sauri, T. «Turn on Diversity: Finnish Television Programming in the Verge of the Digital Era», paper presented at the RIPE Conference, 17-19/1/2002, Finland.


Παρόμοια, πραγματοποιήθηκε από τον Παπαθανασόπουλο διαχρονική έρευνα για τα έτη 1989, 1993 και 1996, στην οποία εξετάστηκαν τα προγράμματα ιδιωτικών και δημόσιων σταθμών σε τρεις χώρες (Ελλάδα, Μ. Βρετανία και Γαλλία) για συγκεκριμένα διαστήματα (μια εβδομάδα), προκειμένου να καταγραφεί ο βαθμός πολυμέρειας του τηλεοπτικού προγράμματος. Ακολούθησε η σχετική κατηγοριοποίηση των ειδών προγράμματος - σε 23 κατηγορίες – ώστε να είναι κοινή η τυποποίηση για τα κανάλια και των τριών χωρών. Επίσης, έγινε διάκριση των προγραμμάτων ανάλογα την χώρα προέλευσης της παραγωγής τους, αν ήταν εγχώρια, ευρωπαϊκή, αμερικανική ή άλλη. Παπαθανασόπουλος, Σ. Η Τηλεόραση και το Κοινό της, Αθήνα: Καστανιώτης, 2000, σελ. 184-207.

"one-off" is often used in contrast with "serial" or "series".

I still think "one-off" is an option here. It's a matter of emphasis. If you're particularly stressing the fact that there isn't a cliffhanger ending (some unresolved situation in the storyline), then you may choose to say "self-contained" or "standalone".

Even in the context of a series, though, the individual episodes may form complete stories in themselves: "each episode can be broadcast as a standalone programme".

As I've mentioned to Ambrose, there's the possibility of a series of self-contained programmes (programmes devoted to a particular theme):

series vs one-off sounds like more of a contrast!

Explanation:
Η έκφραση απαντά κυρίως στο context των σειρών (as opposed to serialised shows) αλλά νομίζω ότι μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί και για άλλα προγράμματα.

π.χ. "Produced by Tyrone Productions, a series of eight self-contained shows, each episode saw business gurus Jay Bourke and Dr Jeanne Bolger guide a different company on their future path to success."
http://www.broadwaybagels.ie/news13.shtml

"Since television is the most reactive of mediums, expect the response to be development of more self-contained shows that don't keep story strings untied from week to week."

neutral  d_vachliot (X): Νομίζω πως όταν λέμε "αυτοτελή" δεν εννοούμε one-off αλλά επεισόδια που δεν είναι "to be continued" με κάποιο cliffhanger./Δεν νομίζω Dylan.Ξέρω τι σημαίνει one-off.

Μίνα, κάνει και μια γκουγκλιά για "self-contained episodes" ή "self-contained shows." Το γράφω εδώ ελλείψει χώρου στα peer comments της Ναταλίας.

Και κάτι ακόμα: Μια και το κείμενο μιλάει για "προγράμματα", είναι δηλ. γενικό, νομίζω πως υπάρχουν και "documentary series" και "factual series" κλπ κλπ, δεν αναφέρεται δηλ. μόνο σε προγράμματα μυθοπλασίας. Αλλά αν θες να το αφήσεις πιο γενικό, θα πήγαινα γι'αυτό που λέει η Ναταλία ή ο Ντύλαν.
