So to put it another way, if I'm understanding you right: the problem with plot arcs is that television shows - at least the ones that are actually broadcast on television - still have to be written on an episodic level, and do the work of building suspense and having different stories in different episodes and all of that. At the same time, people pay more and more attention to the show as a whole, and there's a tension between those two things that's really hard to balance.

It is they don't put anything in the episodes as an A-plot for the times when the episode is a giant b-plot/spacer episode for the arc. Each episode should tell a story complete intself and then have the stuff moving the arc plot along in the background until you get to the season finale when the arc can be put in the A-plot and be resolved for that season. No episode should leave a viewer thinking they just wasted an hour while the characters ran around filling time until they could get to the next episode.
