I've been complaining about this a lot. It drives me crazy. It even seems
shorter because of the number of reruns in between. I think this season was
actually longer, but it feels short because of the Natalie/Sherona switch -
in my mind, there have only been 6 or so episodes this season - the ones
with Natalie. It makes it seem even shorter.

It must be nice to have that kind of contract!

Season 3 has a total of 16 episodes, the same as Season 2. Season 1
only had 12 episodes. The season just seems so short because they
split it up, with more episodes aired during the first half.

For this season, they aired 9 episodes in the first half and 7 in the
second.

They're already filming for Season 4, which I think will start in June.
I'd prefer to have the season run uninterrupted, but then it would
seem even longer waiting for the next one to start.

It seems even shorter in my household because we missed
so many. We don't watch USA otherwise, so we miss the
promos, and then miss a lot of shows. Especially when
the series starts other than in the fall when we're
not yet established with our viewing patterns.

Monk is a cable show, so seasons are shorter. See how many episodes per
season there are for The Sopranos (13), Carnivale (12), nip/tuck (13,
16), Rescue Me (13).

There are very few exceptions (Stargate SG-1, 22 episodes).
