USA is the only channel I watch regularly that breaks up the season in this way. But they have been doing it for awhile. Its actually kind of nice, I think because then, while most other shows are off for the summer, there is still something to watch.....;) Plus, they air less episodes (notice shows on FX, USA, HBO, Showtime, or HBO typically air about 6 less episodes, sometimes 10 less episodes, then shows that air on ABC, NBC, etc.....its why some shows seem to have so much "filler" compared to others) so it is just their way of spreading it out throughout the year, I think.
So it just depends on the channel and the show.
