Unless there is an foreign show I cannot locate, Meet the Press, having started in 1947 (and still producing episodes today) was the first regular TV series.

There are broadcasts that are older, farming and weather bulletins shown twice daily, three times a week in 1928 & of course the broadcast of The Queen's Messenger also in 1928 but the early days, nothing that can really be called a "series"
