      In this article, several results on the hypergeometric series due to Euler, Gauss, Kummer and Ramanujan are generalized. The main results are closed evaluations of series like \[ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \Big(- \frac1{16}\Big)^n \frac{2n}{n}^2 H_n(\frac{1}{2}-\lambda)(\frac{1}{2}-n)_\lambda \] in terms of the hypergeometric function, where \(H_n(x) = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x+1} + \ldots + \frac{1}{x+n-1}\) and \((x)_n = x(x+1) \cdots (x+n-1)\).
