Look at the latest season of most of the big cable (HBO, Showtime, AMC) shows.

Nurse Jackie s3 - 12 episodes
Breaking Bad s 3 - 13 episodes
Mad Men s4 - 13 episodes
Dexter s5 - 12 episodes
Game of Thrones s1 - 10 episodes

It goes on and on like this. Entourage, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Boardwalk Empire etc etc...
Why is that anyways? Is it because the episodes are generally more expensive to produce?
