One of the breaks was for the baseball playoffs as Fox covers that throughout October. The other break is holiday related, as networks dont expect as much television to be watched during this time period and well, television people want to see their families too.
Remember, 20+ episodes attempted to be spread out over a 9 month period. Even with the impending writers strike at the time, none of the networks were going to mess with their schedule settings too much.
It does suck that we've had a butchered and ultimately altered third season. Fox seems to not really give a shit about most of the shows on their network other than trash like American Idol which brings in huge numbers.
