You really should only call show() once (because it starts the event loops for the user interface), usually at the end of your script, which will bring up all of the figures. The script will then exit when you close all of the figures. If you're doing interactive work, you probably want to look into something like ipython (http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/) which makes working with plots interactively a breeze.
