You hit the nail on the head on all the shows. Sadly, Everybody Loves Raymond, Seinfeld, Friends, Roseanne, The Cosby Show, The Golden Girls, Frasier have taken over and have been run into the ground. Therefore, the shows you mentioned are not on tv. To be fair, The Wonder Years was on The Hub recently and Mary Tyler Moore airs on ME-TV.

THE DREW CAREY SHOW

^This.

And One Day at a Time.

One Day at a Time.

YES. I don't know why Antenna TV isn't showing it - practically all the other Norman Lear shows air on that station.

I don't know if these shows air in my area at all and both Me-TV and Antenna TV are local stations:

Facts Of Life (I'd really love to see this one)
Head of the Class
Welcome Back Kotter

These are three that came to mind.

These are three that came to mind.Facts of Life airs Wednesday nights on the Hub, 7-9PM central time with an encore 1-3AM.

It's been rather scarce for a whole decade now, but it really surprised me when "Gilligan's Island" disappeared from view. Throughout the 70s/80s/90s, it was just such a constant presence, whether on local stations or cable. I don't think there was a single period in which its reruns weren't accessible on some channel during that time. Then, all of the sudden, it just seemed to disappear. I'm not even particularly that big a fan of the show, but somehow, no longer having it around as part of the common tv backdrop, just seemed... curiously and uncomfortably jarring.

ER immediately comes to mind. It had a remarkably successful 15-year run. Reruns aired on TNT for several years, and for a while in weekend local syndication and on Daytime WB.

The show disappeared from television altogether right around the time the final episode aired on NBC, and hasn't been seen since. The only way you can watch ER now is on DVD or via Amazon's streaming service (though you have to pay per season/episode).

Almost the same exact thing has happenned with "The Flintstones".

Unfortunately I don't have the Hub, but I wish I did.

Just some that haven't been on where I live in years:

Different Strokes
Gimme A Break!
NYPD Blue
Night Court
Hawaii Five-O (the original version)
Charlie's Angels
Benson
Soap

SoapIf you get Antenna TV they recently started airing Benson Sunday nights at midnight.

What is interesting is that a lot of the shows mentioned in this thread are being shown in Canada, some just recently were added.

Night Court was recently added to a station called Comedy Gold. A few months earlier they added Soap. They also show MTM.

Perfect Strangers was recently added to a station called Deja Vu. They also show One Day at a Time.
What I hate is that they keep showing the same first year episodes of the original Hawaii 5-0 over and over.

Up until last year, Gilligan's Island was being shown on another station and now that show has disappeared.

Comedy Gold used to be TV Land Canada.

I feel this way about The Brady Bunch. Excluding a short run on Nick at Nite a few months back, I haven't seen the show in a regular timeslot in years. It was popular in sydication for a long time, but seems to have faded away this past decade.

Aside from "The Next Generation," all the Star Trek series have disappeared from television.

Fresh Prince

Welcome Back Kotter

What's Happening

Fresh Prince
The show was airing on NBC or in reruns all through the '90s. It's STILL on TBS three times a day and twice on ABCfamily at night. And we all know the show dominated Nick at Nite for half a decade.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air has been used and abused for the better part of twenty years, lol.

Yeah it's been 6 years, I miss it LOL

You miss it on Nick at Nite? It airs at least five episodes a day on other networks, so this is not an example of a series that's faded away. It's faded from Nick at Nite, lol.

You know what, I forgot it comes on in the morning on TBS. I do all my sitcom watching at night time LOL

That's a bad slot. Local News and Jay Leno

the original STAR TREK is on ME TV

Actually, I just checked, and The Fresh Prince is on ABCFamily at Midnight! You can flip over during Jay Leno commercials. :lol:

the original STAR TREK is on ME TV
I think I'm one of those that only get *some* of the ME-TV lineup. Star Trek is not an option for me on television. I can only watch the show(s) on DVD and Netflix (they have every single series online). I'm not complaining because DVD is the greatest way to watch anyway. It's a shame that this generation isn't really exposed to Star Trek. Many only know of the franchise because of the reboot. :rolleyes:

We are probably a Victim of our own success. Most of the TV Shows I have on DVD are no longer shown on Broadcast or Pay TV. I'm sure Stations keep tabs of these things and ask themselves "Why should we run these shows when someone will just break out a DVD and watch their version instead of ours, leaving us high and dry holding the commercials?" :lol:

I just thought of more -

Just the Ten of Us
Eight is Enough
Family
The Love Boat
Rhoda

Reruns of TV shows can fade away or go extinct for one reason or another. List any reason why TV show reruns fade away/go extinct.

MURPHY BROWN, QUANTUM LEAP

Night Court

Gilligan's Island

The Love Boat

YES to all three. I wish The Love Boat at least would air somewhere, especially since CBS/Paramount aren't releasing the remaining seasons to DVD anytime soon.

another one-MAD ABOUT YOU. ANNTENA TV was showing it when they first started but took it off after a few months and it hasn't been seen since; and LIFETIME used to show it about 9 or 10 years ago.

also CAROLINE IN THE CITY and ALF.

^ALF actually airs on The Hub.

i never see Murphy Brown or Whos The Boss reruns anymore. its really sad.

I can't even remember the last time I saw Growing Pains in reruns.

who's the boss comes on the tv guide channel during the week at 6pm

also CAROLINE IN THE CITY and ALF.

ALF has been airing on The Hub for sometime now and Caroline In The City is airing on TV Guide Network I believe, or at least it was earlier this year.

Brady Bunch has been airing on INSP.

I thought of one. But, I don't know if it's been mentioned yet.

The Hogan Family (AKA Valerie, AKA Valerie's Family)

It hasn't been on since 2006.

I used to be able to watch it on YT until WB became nazi's.

Loved that show when I was a kid.

That would be another good show for Antenna TV to pick up, a 80's family show

But alas a WB property.

2006 maybe? I remember it wasn't on long at all. I think they tried it on "the N" channel too.
