The Console-ing Passions book series at Duke University Press was founded in 1995 with Lynn Spigel as series editor. There are currently over a dozen books in the series. In 2004 a new monograph series was inaugurated called Spin-offs, which are short books on topics, TV titles, or issues that emerged from the original series.
