just out of curiosity, why do they do the season break? why not just continue the season straight through?

They only have 20 episodes to stretch over about 9 months. It occurred to me, that in the US, the season started in mid-July and went through mid-Sept. The DVD's come out in Oct/Nov, then mid-season starts in January and runs I don't know, probably through sometime in March.
I believe the DVDs have already come out in Europe, but their season 2 doesn't start until fall.

I would also think they would probably like to give the actors a breakMy DVD Collection http://www.dvdaficionado.com/dvds.ht...id=deathshadow

All U.S. programs have at least 20 episodes, usually a network will order anywhere between 20-24 episodes per season. The typical American season of television usually runs between September/October to May. Then there are November, February, and May sweeps in which they make the best episodes to lure in more people to watch.
With the usual season, there maybe some reruns here and there, but not in a four to five month block. They usually don't take a hiatus during the regular season, the hiatus is usually during the summer. So I don't know what the reason is on why the Sci Fi channel does the hiatus until January.
I agree with cafine us that they may do so there will not be any competition from other television networks.Just sitting here at the computer..typing my life away!

It also has a lot to do with judging ratings...if a show hasn't been doing particularly well, after the first half, it might find itself dropped...which obviously saves networks money they can throw at other shows instead...
Can't see that ever happening to SG though...
