What would you consider to be the first television series? (I suppose that would need to be a program created for television--sorry film serials-- that had more than one episode or at least was intended to have more than one episode)

The Queen's Messenger only had one episode. From what I can find Kraft Television Theatre (1947) might be the answer you are looking for? Or maybe Texaco Star Theater (1948)?
