I'd rather wait a couple of months and then have a steady stream of new episodes than stop and start for the holidys, the Super Bowl, the inauguration, etc.

No need to stop for 2 of those & even missing 1 episode isn't too bad but 2 months between episodes is excessive in the extreme. When most people have some sort of recording device and/or multiple streaming services it is way beyond ridiculous.

It's been a while since tv has been regular, hasn't it? I miss the days when there weren't so many production stop s and starts.

But first thing sslowed down because of COVID lockdowns. Then the strike. And now the fires in CA. 

I don't kno wif that accounts for all of it, but I think some of the scheduling disruptions are from things beyond network preference.

There have always been breaks in seasons because networks have to air 22 episodes between October and May so they can't air a new episode every week. Although I think there used to be more shorter breaks where you'd have one or two weeks without a new episode. Now networks seem to prefer to have less but longer breaks in the season.

Back in the day half-hour comedies would run 30-35 episodes in a season.
