* Renewed with a short (8-episode) season only.
¶ Renewed for mid-season (first season start was in January);
when the show returns, it will be expanded to one hour (from 30 minutes).
By definition, shows that are "ending their runs" are doing so by mututal agreement among the network, the cast, and the production crew, and generally have "final" episodes (e.g. 90210, Party of Five, Mad About You, Melrose Place, Seinfeld, Newhart, etc.); otherwise, they've been cancelled (e.g. The Pretender, Early Edition, Homicide, Ellen, Murder She Wrote, Lois & Clark, Dallas, etc.).
Here is the list of the TV shows that are ending their runs after many seasons at the end of the '00-'01 TV year:
Shows Ending Run Network
---------------- -------
Baywatch (Hawaii) Syn. (Note: After 12 seasons, the show is
hanging it up.)
Hang Time NBC (It's done. No more first-run episodes.)
La Femme Nikita USA (The series finale aired March 4.)
The Jamie Foxx Show WBN (Believe it or not, Jamie Foxx ended Jan. 14
with the wedding of Jamie and Fancy.)
Star Trek: Voyager UPN (Note: Season #7 will be the show's last.)
Third Rock from the Sun NBC (Note: NBC has made it official:
the season finale will be the
series finale of 3rd Rock.)
Walker, Texas Ranger CBS (Note: Chuck Norris has said that Walker
is hanging it up at the end of Season #8.)
Xena: Warrior Princess Syn. (Note: It's official now: Season #7 will be
Xena's last.)
Here is the list of the TV shows from the '00-'01 season that are known to be cancelled. Again, to keep track of such things, shows that are new this season (i.e. this is the show's first season) have been marked in red:

Strip Mall (COM)
This is the list of shows that appear to be "in trouble" (i.e. in danger of cancellation), with the network that the shows air on, and comments. By the way, if you see the word "retooling" next to a show you like, expect the worst, as network "retooling" almost always leads to a decline in the show's quality and usually ends with cancellation.
(NOTE: This list is mostly the opinion of this author, as influenced by media reports (e.g. The LA Times), and Internet scuttlebutt!)

And here is the list of the TV shows from the '00-'01 season that will be moved from old times to new timeslots for the Fall 2000. The new airing times are also listed.

For the Fall, I will list any "new" shows that replace early Fall casualties; for spring, any show that has replaced a cancelled show, or that has temporarily bumped an established show into 'hiatus', will be listed. (NOTE: Shows such as "Jack & Jill" will not be listed here, as they are technically not "new" shows.)
