Nowadays, yes, 20-26 episodes is the standard. It can also depend on when the series is aired (Fall/Winter shows tend to get lengthier seasons than those aired in Spring/Summer) and how long each individual episode is (22-minute programs vs. 44-minute programs).

Back before the boom of cable TV, though, a syndicated program could have as many as 65 episodes in a single season, as was the case for both Animaniacs and DuckTales.
