It works well most of the time. US audiences are used to it.

I think loss of interest is only usually a problem after abnormally long breaks...e.g. during the WGA Strike (which screwed up various shows, not just due to viewers losing interest due to the increased hiatus).

Other than V & Flash Forward, I don't think any of the "Fall Season" shows have been off air for too long, even with the Olympics.
