Shows do seem to average around 24 episodes per season. There's no set count for a television season, they vary. Look at a very popular show like Lost. First season was 25 episodes (including the pilot), second season looks to be 23 episodes with 3 additional specials. The first season of NUM3ERS was only 13 episodes. The first 4 seasons of CSI were 23 episodes each. The final season of Friends was only 18 episodes, which includes a special. Any series can easily be cancelled at any time if it doesn't get the viewership, GW would be up against this if it competed with shows like Lost or American Idol. Friday has been a perfect place for her series. |
