Episode, Act

An episode of a television show would be translated how?

Episode - Эпизод

An act from a play should be what?

Act - Действие

Thanks...

I think they just say "show", like we (americans) do. and in russian it is Шоу.

deistvie is an act, as in an action. Might have double meaning, not sure.

Я думаю что можно сказать "передача"(for show), но я не уверенна. Я не помню :(

"Эпизод" is ok.

For 'act' as in a play, we use both "акт" и "действие". E.g. "пьеса в трёх действиях" (a three-act play). "Пятиактная трагедия" (A five-act tragedy).
