Question: So far this summer I've really enjoyed
Psych and
Eureka, as well as the too-cute
Meerkat Manor. But as fall approaches and I read about some of the great new shows (as well as my old favorites), I'm wondering if I've taken on too much. My question is: How long do these summer shows run? Most didn't start until June, but I don't remember reading anywhere just how many episodes of each had been ordered. Also, what are the chances of
Psych and
Eureka getting renewed for a second season (whenever that is)?
Answer: With cable series, it's case by case, and almost always very confusing. For the most part, these shows will finish their summer runs at the end of this month or by early September, so new episodes won't overlap with the fall-season launch. Shows like
Psych and
Monk often have another batch of originals that air sometime during the official season, usually in the winter. The chances are excellent that
Psych and
Eureka will be renewed, with new seasons almost certainly starting next summer.
