It seems like a lot of older shows these days are like the backburners and that in order for a lot of older shows to get rerun status, they have to be household names.

Is it me, or is it the way most of these people that's running thses stations think that certain older shows have to be well-known to even be reran anymore these days?

I don't know abt being popular, but any tv sitcom or drama that makes at least 100 episodes qualifies for syndication. For example, George Lopez's show has already completed its 100th episode and he is excited because rarely does a show that centers around hispanics, latinos, etc. get to 100 episodes.

I thought it was reaching 88 episodes, not 100?
