I can sort of understand not running new episodes Thanksgiving weekend (though I thought CSI’s disgusting new episode on Thanksgiving night was a stroke of brilliance) but why aren’t we getting new episodes of our favorite shows the first three weeks of December? Sure, we’re getting new episodes here and there – thanks to “The West Wing” and “Arrested Development” – but many shows are on hiatus. Is there some study somewhere that says that people don’t watch television in early December? I sure as hell do.
