Normal tv season is 22 fresh episodes for each series. There are 52 weeks in a year, so you do the math. Since people are watching less TV during the holidays because of family gatherings and last-minute shopping, they decided to air repeats. Same with summer. This is why we have new episodes for most series from September to early December, than mid-January to May (with some repeats in March when it's March break and people don't watch tv much).

I think they are going to be changing the set up of how the shows are run. Take for instance Lost, they showed 5 or 6 new shows then had a fall finale! Now it will not be back on until Feb. just in time to have 12 new shows for march sweeps and then the season finale. Weird I know and I dont' much care for it, but; that is my best guess.

Most networks go on a little break after Thanksgiving and come back sometime after New Years. Some shows don't even come back until February. This is also a time when networks will run "mid-season" shows. Like Day Break for example.

They figure people are busy in the run up for the holidays, and won't necessary be watching as much television. Rather than air new episodes that may only get half the audience, it's cheaper to air repeats that only get half the audience.

Because it is the holiday hiatus. Everyones on vacation while the writers dream up new crap to put on the idiot box.
