Yeah I fucking hate them too. I'm waiting for two shows to resume currently on mid-season breaks: The Walking Dead and White Collar.

happens all the time,but the only show I really watch is house. This is suppose to be the final season of house,so after that shows ends,I won't care about mid-season breaks. I just don't get into alot of shows on T.V.

Hey at least its on TV .

None of my shows come on any more, they all been replaced by reality teenager TV shows.

From my (very limited) understanding, in December and January television audiences shrink because people have other things to do and interest in advertising is reduced because companies spent their marketing budget on ads that ran in October and November to drive holiday sales. The net result of this is most networks have far lower revenues and try to maintain profitability by filling their timeslots with inexpensive programming.
