(This could get very confusing) I was wondering... in Japan, when they have anime on TV (so lucky~) they say say if the series is popular they'll do another season... how does it work? Do they approximate a certain number of weeks for it to have a few episodes, then see the results - or do they work on the anime as it's on TV and if the ratings are low they just try to set up the next few episodes to end as soon as possible? I think they'll do a seaon and then see how it goes, but how do they know how many episodes to show first? Some anime have about 24 eps, (which means it's on TV for about half a year?) but others have about 10.

Seasons are set in 6 month periods and they make a series accordingly. If it does really well then they'll usually make a sequel. But the length of the series is always made in accordance with how much money the studio is willing to put into it. So 13 ep series are usually the ones there are a gamble as such. Or they might have higher quality animation.
However sometimes they never do even if it does well since they can't get the rights again or for whatever reason the creators refuse to make anymore.
On the other hand some shows are just showed in for the long haul and the producers can only hope they go well. But when they do that it's almost guarnteed they'll do well due to the large manga fanbase already existing. Shows like Bleach, One Piece and Naruto are a good example.
And finally there are shows that get crappy ratings in the general public but they get squels made anyway due to the otaku crowd buying out the DVDs and other related mechandise.
