Well, I certainly can't disagree with your statement about the breaks, but naturally you can't blame the show for that.

I'm constantly frustrated by the networks and their horrible scheduling. The only explanation I can give is that they fear the off season and are deluding themselves into thinking that multiple two-month long breaks aren't the same exact thing.


*edit*
Just to be fair, it's not like Heroes is immune to the extended breaks. In just it's first season, it's had two seven week breaks.
