They basically already do that. Splitting 20-24 episode seasons into two separate entities. Like with The Event coming back in two weeks with a 2 hour reboot.

(I know that wasn't what you meant, but that's what american TV would do with your idea, rather than have a fall set of shows and a spring set of shows)

I think USA may be getting it right, with shorter seasons broken in halves. They're avoiding the trap that SciFi fell into with Battlestar Galactica (20+ episode seasons broken in half with months-long gaps in between - they lost viewers steadily over the entire run of the series).
