There's a reason shows take breaks during that time of the year.

Because 22 into 38 is a poor fit? Nothing wrong with debuting a show in winter.

Have people never actually watched network TV before? A season lasts something like 38 weeks, a show has 22-23 episodes, and somehow every year people complain that their show isn't on every week.

Complaining that the system is stupid is fine, complaining the the network has it in for their show beacause there are breaks makes you look like a moron.

The Netflix model certainly makes these breaks more noticeable, but AoS's schedule has been ridiculous even by network TV standards. We all watch other shows like Flash and Supergirl week in and week out without any major hitches in its release dates; sure, the winter break is coming up, but that's after nine or ten straight weeks of consistent episodes, capping off with a major mid-season crossover finale. By contrast Agents of SHIELD skipped a week after its second episode of the season. Then it practically takes a whole month off between 11/1 and 11/29. And then it'll probably take another break after two more episodes. That's egregious by any standards.

The November break is the only unusual one, and that is solely because the ratings are so terrible that it made financial sense for the network to air something else during sweeps.

The... AT&T girl?

Okay, sure.

I can see why they didn't pick Barb or Anna Kendrick, Freeform doesn't historically have a huge budget, and those two aren't exactly nobodies at this point.

I would think Milana is a good few salary levels above Shannon Purser.
