Basically, it means all the episodes of a show that air within a particular 12-month period. Traditionally, the new TV season (with new series and new episodes of existing series) begins in September.
Sometimes, with individual shows, that isn't strictly true - some reality shows have multiple "seasons" within a single year, and shows on some of the cable network don't have new seasons every year. For individual shows, it's better to think of a "season" as a single contracted order of shows - usually in increments of 21-24 episodes, though shorter "seasons" of 13 or fewer episodes aren't uncommon.
Note that the above only applies to American television - other countries have different ways of doing things.

TV shows are organized in series of episodes. The actors and the crew are given a vacation once in a while and the TV shows are suspended for a while (1-2 months). A season is an interrupted number of TV shows that start from the first episode to the vacation I was talking about earlier.

the traditional TV season begins in September/late summer/early fall, but this year FOX began late Aug and some begin as late as early November. The first show I recall beginning that late was the X-files. On basic cable, some seasons run from June to Aug. then there is HBO etc where their seasons begin arbitrarily. Then you have shows like 24 which now begin in Jan and end in May (to avoid repeats and stay consistent with the plot)

For many years, the "season" of a tv show was from around August/September to around May. The summer was full of reruns.
Lately a lot of networks are filling the "off season" with shows like USA running Monk and The Dead Zone from January to August.
The season usually consists of around 20 or more new episodes of the show, depending how many they taped for us to view.

when a show starts it starts a certain day and that is the season premiere and that is the first episode of the season and then the show airs for a number of months and then the final showing is the season finale and a few months go by and then there is a new season premiere.
shows have seasons just like sports do.
each season has new episodes. you can even buy each season on dvd.

it is a bit confusing these days because they start mixing in re-runs by christmas but it used to be the new shows started in sept. and ran through may & then the re-runs ran until the new fall season started again, people start watching t.v. again in the fall after not looking at much in the summer, that was the old logic.
