In fact it was almost cancelled twice. Star Trek if I'm not mistaken, was the highest rated show (at least at its peak) among the 18-49 male demographic. However at the time, the ratings system only took for account total among of viewers. megamanj2004 02-26-2011, 04:45 AM What's Happening!! - it was a moderately popular show during its original ABC run, but saw greater success in reruns and even in new life in 1st-run syndication w/ What's Happening Now!! The Jetsons - original 1960s run lasted 1 season on ABC, reran for many years thereafter, then returned for new 1st-run syndication episodes from 1985-87 and still rerun to this day. The Monkees - lasted 2 seasons on NBC originally, then was reran almost constantly. mswood 02-26-2011, 01:28 PM Hee Haw (CBS; 1969-1971) and Baywatch (NBC; 1989-1990) each only lasted a season or two on the network but ran for many years in first-run syndication. Both of those are different as they moved to original syndication, not that their reruns were stripped inn syndication.

A short run overall, but not forgotten and certainly successful in syndication. |
