With all the shows I mention, I am referring to when they would've first been run (new episodes) on television, and these are networks I could've also seen them working on...
7th Heaven - CBS or ABC
Back to You - CBS
Better off Ted - TBS, USA or Comedy Central
The Big Bang Theory - FOX
Chuck - USA
Conan - FOX
Everybody Loves Raymond - ABC
House - ABC
How I Met Your Mother - NBC (at least in the '90s) or ABC
The King of Queens - NBC
Reba - Lifetime, CBS, or ABC
Roseanne - Lifetime
Scrubs - FOX, TBS or Comedy Central
Seinfeld - FOX, TBS, or Comedy Central
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - CBS or Showtime
Two and a Half Men - FOX
What I Like About You - FOX

As far as syndication goes...
7th Heaven - ABC Family
Back to You - TBS
Better off Ted - USA
The Big Bang Theory - USA
Chuck - USA
How I Met Your Mother - TBS
The Middle - ABC Family
Modern Family - ABC Family
Reba - ABC Family
Roseanne - ABC Family
Scrubs - USA
Seinfeld - USA
Two and a Half Men - TBS
Any show I put on USA is because I think they fit the "characters welcome" slogan, and USA is looking into acquiring comedies for their network now that they have acquired "Modern Family" for 2013, although, I still don't see that show as a good fit for USA.

REBA- When it was airing i always felt it was on the wrong network. Instead of airing on The WB/CW I always felt it would have fit better on CBS or at the time on ABC.
My So-Called Life- After ABC canceled it the logical choice would have been for the show to go on FOX or The WB. It would have fit perfectly with FOX's 1995-1996 fall schedule which included youth oriented shows like Party Of Five, Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place. On The WB which was just launching at the time it would have stood out as a quality series with critical acclaim.
Frasier- It never felt like an NBC show to me; It was like the kind of sitcom that typically aired on CBS.
GLEE--- this is the kind of show that if it aired on The CW would literally put that network on the map; but would also stand-out enough to still be popular.
