Why do TV shows go on "hiatus" so often? It really ruins the flow of a show.
They only work part of the year to start with and then two or three times a year there is a month or so break. I don't get these kinds of breaks so why should they? I am lucky to get 5 weeks vacation a year but it is a struggle to get it all in because nobody does my work while I am gone so I usually end up working extra late nights and weekends before and after a vacation to make up for it. Oh and I can only take one week at a time. What I would give to be able to take two or three weeks off at once! Only twice since I started working after college have I had a two weeks off. The first time was for when I got married (10 years ago) and the second time was when I was in between jobs and moving from CA to VA (8.5 yeas ago). So although I had two weeks off, packing and moving was not much of a vacation.
I wonder if TV shows lose viewers who do not come back after a hiatus? I would much prefer a shortened season that goes straight through. Even on holidays...we all have DVR's now so we won't miss it.

TV shows never used to do this!
I know, right? Now we pay more than ever for TV as well and I'm not sure what we are getting sometimes.
