I'm liking the trend towards one long break in a shows run, rather than the way it used to be with a new episode or two, then a break, then a few more, then a break.

Channel 5 are delaying showing season 2 of Gotham so there is no break in the season, imo that is treating a show quite decently, US are to blame with their stupid mid season breaks.

Yes it is much better with a 2 part season, rather than having a break here or there every couple of weeks or so.

Do these 2 part seasons help or hinders ratings in the States?
Broadcasting episodes weekly without interruption, but with a long mid-season break, might increase an audience as they are more likely to be consistent returning viewers week after week. However, having a long mid-season break might result in viewers not returning at all for the second half of the season. I think if you look at a few case studies the ratings often suggest the latter, with a programmes ratings sometimes dropping for the second half of the season after the break. I wonder if the introduction of two uninterrupted parts to season with a break in the middle have something to do with antipiracy oversees? Could producers/distributers prefer selling the programmes in this way so international broadcasters can air programmes at US pace without the fear of a break every few weeks? |

So it seems Sesame Street is moving to HBO
Will we finally get that sex scene we have always wanted between Big Bird and Elmo?

The Children’s Television Workshop, or the Sesame Workshop as I think it’s now called, is a non-profit organisation and to get the funding it required it could no longer air exclusively on PBS. |

Wicked City's 5 remaining episodes will be airing in New Zealand. Episode four has already aired.
I often find other countries will air unaired episodes. E4 aired Marry Me's unaired episodes and Sky one aired About A Boy's unaired episodes. |

Don't networks just put unaired episodes up on their website or something?

No...that would be showing it late Dec or early Jan...showing it in Feb isn't treating the show with any decency, especially as we will be well over half the season behind.

Well I didn't expect that to happen! If so, I suppose its not different to what Sky do, but they actually have TV channels to broadcast the programmes on! |

Did they? I was watching and it disappeared from the Sky One schedule once they'd broadcast all of the episodes that had aired in the US. When did it return with the remaining episodes?

Yay hopefully they'll order 2 more by the end of the 20 to make it a full season.

Maybe they burned them off late or night or in the afternoon... hopefully I'll be able to catch them sometime (maybe in the box sets or something).

Slightly off topic but there is a big lawsuit involving the stars and producers of Bones against Fox. The same thing happened with David Duchovny back in the late 90's and it was what led to his eventual departure from the show a year later.
http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/12/bon...s-sue-fox.html I don't blame them though. It seems they are not being paid what they owed. Especially from syndication and streaming deals, which is what actors rely on once the show goes off the air. |

Cos if one company thought they could get away with it how many others followed the same route. |
