Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd
from io import StringIO

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': [4, 5, 6]})

dts = df.dtypes
print(dts)

# dts to csv
# Expected: A,int64\nB,int64\n No error
test_csv = StringIO()
dts.to_csv(test_csv)
print(test_csv.getvalue())

# dts to json
# Expected: {"A": "int64", "B": "int64"} No error
print(dts.to_json())
# OverflowError: Maximum recursion level reached

Issue Description

When calling to_csv() on a pd.Series of dtypes, it works without error and outputs as expected. However, calling to_json() on the same Series raises an OverflowError: Maximum recursion level reached.

Expected Behavior

Expected: {"A": "int64", "B": "int64"} without error
