Japan has a pretty good idea on how to do series: 13 or 26 episodes for beginning, middle, and end. It's a good idea, but it often doesn't pan out quite so well with rushed endings, ending that are left too open, or endings that just don't go anywhere. It happens a lot, unfortunately, but I still like it far more than how American TV shows go on and on for six or seven seasons before everything is finally wrapped up. Or not.
I'm usually more forgiving with comedy shows though, or shows built around the premise of each episode being self-contained [murder mysteries, crime dramas, and so on].
