Obviously for a show like Two and a Half Men or whichever, having these breaks isn't an issue, but of two bad alternatives ("regular" airing of a show vs. continuous airing) this is the best option.

The intervals change, then the night changes, then the time and on and on and on ruining many a show and losing them audiences. But I shouldn't complain that much though as it's only the time I have to wait for the next season which really irritates me. I've long since gone to using my computer to tape episodes and then watch them commercial free and often back to back. Probably the best way is to just watch sports live and then catch everything else on DVD where you can watch the whole thing in a weekend.
