When Does Your Favorite TV Show Return?
Gossip Girl: The CW’s teen drama is expected to return in late April with the remaining 9 episodes. Under that scenario, the struggling network would extend its official TV season into the summer. “Gossip Girl” was the first freshman drama to receive a full-season pickup last October, and would possibly be the only hour-long drama to film a full season of 22 episodes.
Ugly Betty: ABC’s sophomore comedy would come back this spring for 4 additional episodes, bringing the season total to 17. Executive producer Silvio Horta has said to Entertainment Weekly the writers would however have to tweak the planned storylines as they were originally mapped out for a 23-episode season. 13 episodes have aired thus far.

How I Met Your Mother: Given its half-hour format and well-established production, CBS’ flashback-laden comedy might return for as many as 7 installments this spring. 11 episodes of “How I Met Your Mother” have aired so far.
24: This is a really tricky one. As you may have heard, 8 episodes had been filmed prior to the strike. Since bringing the show back for an abbreviated season is impossible due to its 24-hour format, the drama will most probably return in January 2009, which means the strike may have cost both fans and people who produce the series an entire season.
Samantha Who: The single-camera comedy starring Christina Applegate is expected to return March 24, following a new cycle of “Dancing with the Stars.” 12 episodes have been filmed, 9 have aired through early December, the remaining 3 episodes will kick off the new batch. As many as 6 new episodes could be filmed this spring, bringing the season total to 18.
Desperate Housewives/Grey’s Anatomy: They will be coming back for 4-5 episodes.
Pushing Daisies/Dirty Sexy Money: New shows like “Pushing Daisies” or “Dirty Sexy Money” will most likely return in September with at least 13 new episodes.
Friday Night Lights: The second season of “Friday Night Lights” (including tomorrow night’s 15th episode) will be released on DVD April 22, and would therefore have no additional episodes.
