Sometimes, breaks are strategically scheduled in light of the so-called sweeps period, where advertisers and networks use data collected at this point to decide on the advertising rates for the rest of the year. Other times, they are to allow the cast and crew to take a breather during holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, which is the case for Young Sheldon’s recent hiatuses.
