Most series have 20 to 24 new episodes. "Friends" is an exception.
They'll  produce 18 epsisodes for the coming season, but the network
doesn't care since they lose money on every epsisode. The cost of
production exceeds the ad revenue. It's just a flagship for the network.
In most cases, the number of episodes is calculated to yield a profit
given the projected ad revenue. Hey, it's a business. If people can't
make money doing it, there won't be any television. (Of course that
might be a good thing:-)
