This week sees the return of so many shows that have been on break for (quite literally) months. Prision Break, Heroes and Lost are all back this week and it truly feels like a lifetime since we last saw new episodes (especially in Lost's case)

It may have seen like an interminable wait for most people, but I do think that these long breaks are much better than the route that has been followed before: a new episode followed by weeks of repeats, followed by two episodes and more repeats. It becomes so frustrating, especially with shows that have quite an involved story-arc (hello Lost, I'm looking at you here) because by the time there is a new episode you've forgotten everything that's happened.

What do you think? Do you think the new way is better than the old way?

I do wonder what the networks think of this screening approach and I'll be interested to read what they have to say.
