These season breaks are killin' me! - Twilla - 01-29-2011
When did this shit start anyway? You get 10 - 13 episodes, then they break for two months... unless the season only has 13 episodes and then they seem to break three or four times so it takes 9 months to watch about 10 hours of show.
This is unacceptable, I want the rest of my Sam and Dean.

Ah! the power of Hollywood creating dramatic pause and anticipation, seperated by lunesta commercials.

Is that what is going on? I'm freakin wondering what happened to Bones, House and a few others. They just stopped right in the middle with no announcement of the season finale. Bastards!
I bet they do this to drag out the season to make it look like they are giving you more. Remember when TV shows ran from the day you started school in Sept to the season end in June when school let out? Now we're lucky to get 10 or 16 episodes.

Someone on a discussion board at hulu guessed it started with the writers' strike but I don't see how this benefits anyone at this point... some of these shows have a continuous storyline that's easy to lose interest in when the audience has to wait months to find out what the eff is going on. By the time the show reappears, I've forgotten what the hell was going on. "Oh yeah, Sam just got his shattered soul returned, is it going to make him crazy?" ARGH!!!
