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. Star Trek: Voyager, Walker Texas Ranger, 90210, Party of Five, Mad About You, Melrose Place, Seinfeld, 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 '01-'02 TV year:
Shows Ending Run Network
---------------- -------
Ally McBeal FOX (It's official! - Kelley & Fox pulled
the plug after 5 seasons.)

morning T-NBC series had already been filmed,
in the prvious season, but aired this season.)

The Steve Harvey Show WBN (After 13 new episodes, Steve Harvey was over.)
The X-Files FOX (It's official! - after 7 seasons, this show was

Invisible Man (SCI-FI)
Leap Years (SHOW)
Lexx (SCI-FI)
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!)

Shows on Hiatus Network Comments --------------- ------- -------- [no longer relevant]
And here is the list of the TV shows from the '01-'02 season that will be moved from old times to new timeslots for the Fall 2001. The new airing times are also listed. As stated above, any shows that have been recently added to this list, will be underlined. (Shows will also be 'pruned' from this list after a month or two...)
Moved Shows Net. New Airing Time Old Airing Time ----------- ---- --------------- --------------- [no longer relevant]
And here is the most up-to-date "mid-season replacement" list, which I will update as new shows start to appear (shows no longer airing, will be indicated in the list; check the "Hiatus" List, as well).
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 "For Your Love" will not be listed here, as they are technically not "new" shows.)
