Monk is leaving, more Gary Unmarried, Worst Week and Medium
By fred | November 17, 2008
* USA announced on Friday that its hit series Monk had been renewed for an eighth and final season. This 16-episode season will debut in the summer and put an end of the show, a decision said to have been mutually reached on by all parties involved with the show who wanted to bring the series to an end while it was still firing on all creative cylinders. I guess soon enough Psych will become USA biggest hit…
* Meanwhile, the unfunny comedies are going to stick around on CBS, as the net gave a vote of confidence for its two new series : Gary Unmarried received a seven-episode pickup, bringing the current total to a 20-episode season, while three more episodes of Worst Week were ordered as well.
* With the complete failure of its new schedule, and the recent cancellation of My Own Worst Enemy and Lipstick Jungle (though both series should end their run, of respectively 9 and 13 episodes), NBC needs something to put on the air. Medium had received a 13-episode order so far for its fifth season, and that had just been extended with 6 more episodes ordered, bringing the season to 19 episodes so far.
