Is a serial defined by its size, and the sense that it doesn't have a beginning, a middle, and an ending? Otherwise, what is a trilogy, or a tri- or quad-trilogy, or the Wheel of Time?

I hated serials when I was a kid -- my brother and I would always argue about who got to read first. I don't have that problem now, but I still hate waiting in the middle for the ending. I'll stay up til 4 AM just to get to the end of a good story.
