When an {{Anthology}} is a TV series. There may be a [[YouLookFamiliar common]] [[ProductionPosse cast]], or be a GenreAnthology, or a ThematicSeries. Unusual cases may keep the same protagonist but nothing else.

For how varied this can be, ''Series/TheLoveBoat'' and ''Series/FantasyIsland'' were both '''stealth anthologies'''. While they both had regularly appearing casts, each episode consisted of two or more stories at least one of which revolved around one or more guest stars as the main protagonists. In the case of ''Series/TheLoveBoat'' there were even different directors for the different stories in an episode. ''Series/{{Atlanta}}'', for instance, has a main cast and plot but also a series of totally standalone episodes featuring different characters and in an entirely different continuity.

There are three specific types categorized by this page. The first is episodic anthologies, where the stories generally cover a single episode, are self-contained, and there are no recurring characters. The second is season-long anthologies that move on from their stories (aside from the odd EasterEgg, perhaps) after a single season of television. The third is stealth anthologies, which keeps certain characters (generally a protagonist) but otherwise totally rotates the story with no recurring, long-running plots.

[[folder:Stealth Anthologies]]
* ''Series/{{Atlanta}}'': A mix of episodes that include the same characters and continuities, episodes that split off characters onto separate stories, and completely separate standalone stories with no recurring characters.
* ''Series/TheBoothAtTheEnd'' is an inversion. In the first season, all the characters appeared to be self-contained and not overlapping, combined only by meeting the nameless Man. In the second season, it turned out they had been ConnectedAllAlong.
* ''WesternAnimation/CartoonSushi'', similar to its predecessor ''Liquid Television'' below, combined one-off shorts with recurring segments.
* ''Series/{{Columbo}}''
* ''Series/FantasyIsland''
* ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' is about as close to Main/ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin - Stand Alone episodes are unrelated to others while Complex episodes are related to the same arc.
* ''WesternAnimation/LiquidTelevision'' features a mix of standalone shorts and recurring segments, which themselves could be episodic or serialized.
* ''Series/TheLoveBoat''
* ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' -- a mix of recurring and standalone shorts.
