If , for example, you know that this series is only going to be 20 epeisodes long then you know you're heading to a conclusion.

Open ended series finales are proven not to be satisfactory.

I also think that when a series is cancelled the studio should always try and tie it up with mini-season.

Jericho was a good example of that.

That's what Steve McPherson, head of ABC Entertainment said

Steve McPherson, head of ABC Entertainment had the following to say:
“At this point, we believe the show will be four parts, with each consisting of anywhere from 13 to 22 episodes. We want to craft a whole series. It will have a beginning, middle and end.”
He further explained he considered V to be an event drama at midseason and says the plan is to have it run for four seasons
