I read on E!Online that Damon had said that you're considering to start in october and split the season in 3 acts and have large breaks in between

I came up with this schedule which will work for all aspects considered

25th Oct - 1
1st Nov - 2
8th nov - 3
15th nov - 4
22nd nov - 5
29th nov - 6
6th dec - 7

Break

17th jan - 8
24th jan - 9
31st jan - 10
7th feb - 11
14th feb - 12
21st feb - 13
28th feb - 14

Break

21st Mar - 15
28th Mar - 16
4th Apr - 17
11th Apr - 18
18th Apr - 19
25th Apr - 20
2nd May - 21
9th May - 22
16th May - Finale

That means it'll cover november and Feburay and May sweeps and there will only be 7 weeks worth of breaks

That's still better than 1 week breaks all over the place

Hopefully i have helped with the reruns thing
