Television Notes
'Monk' to End, 'Medium' goes to 19
USA Network will air the eighth and final season of Monk during the summer of 2009. The beloved series' concluding season will include 16 episodes. With luck, he will continue to live on in Lee Goldberg’s delightful novels.
CBS’s Gary Unmarried was blessed with a full-season order while the network ordered three additional episodes of Worst Week.
NBC has given Medium an order for a total of 19 episodes, six more than previously ordered and less than a full season. With the recent cancellations, the peacock network may be short of inventory. A timeslot for the series’ return has not yet been selected although Monday’s at 10 p.m. following Heroes is most likely.

Yes, the books series will continue...at least for one year past the end of the TV series (if my contract is any indication).

The "Man from UNCLE" books ran quite some time after the series ended - though apprently at least two books that had been intended for it got rewritten as SF and released independently. ("Genius Unlimited" by Phillifent and "The Arsenal Out of Time" by McDaniel)

I don't have expanded cable, so I've only been able to start watching this series now that it is hitting syndication. I absolutely love it! And now that I know that there are some delightful novels, I'm going to have to check them out.
