Answer 3

Italicize or underline the titles of longer works such as books, edited collections, movies, television series, documentaries, or albums: The Closing of the American Mind; The Wizard of Oz; Friends. [from http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/] blurtit has a different approach, based on making a standard reference list (bibliography) citation and then referring to it, but their illustration is incomplete (below). The full use in text should, in my opinion, be like this: SHOW TITLE (in italics or underlined) followed by, in quotations, the reference to the full citation in the list. Thus, to use their example, one might write: "The television show Friends [in italics or underlined] (Bright, 1994) was..." Blurtit: "You can reference a TV show using the APA style by following a simple five-step procedure. The first step is the reference list citation format. This includes such details as the last name, the first name of the authority, the title of the authority, the year of the first season of the television series, the title of the television series, the location of the broadcasting company and the broadcasting company. An example of a reference list citation would be Bright, K.S. (Executive Producer). (1994). Friends (television series). New York: National Broadcasting Company. The next step is the in-text citation format. This includes such details as the last name of the authority and the year of the first season of the television series. An example of a reference list citation would be (Bright, 1994). The name of the authority and the date which is listed in the citation is also subject to change."
