There's going to be some confusion for a while between production seasons and airing seasons.

The next 12 episodes to be broadcast, probably starting in July, will be part of the 4th production season, but it'll be the 5th airing season.

That could become an annoying distinction after a while.

One thing I'm not yet clear on ... When you say that Season 5 starts in 2012, do you mean ...

(1) The beginning of 2012, so we'll see 12 episodes in Fall 2011, and 13 episodes in Spring 2012, so all 25 episodes will be in a single airing season, or

(2) The summer of 2012, so we'll see 12 episodes during the entire 2011-2012 airing season, and then 13 episodes in the 2012-2013 airing season ... ?

Honestly, I'm not sure which I'd prefer. I'm not crazy about the idea of going through two more years with these long dry spells between episodes, but at least that way, we'd have an extra year to spend on the boards talking about it.
