What TV series started out broadcasted on network tv and later on ended up in first-run syndication?

Mama's Family - Started out on NBC, and was later revamped for syndication.

Hee Haw was on CBS from 1969-1971 and was cancelled by the network so they could get rid of all the rural shows at that time for more urban shows. Hee Haw then went into syndication and was on the air until the early 90s.

^^^ There goes my answer.

Charles in Charge, Too Close for Comfort

Fame

Lots of game shows like Match Game and I've Got a Secret. On the other side, Mister Ed started in synidication before moving to network.

Baywatch - Season 1 on NBC. In syndication and reruns ever since.

Not a sitcom but it still might be one of the most unintentionally funniest shows of all time.

Best seen with Mute button on! ;)

Match Game

Yes and no. Match Game (1973-1982 version) had not one but two syndicated editions. The first one was from 1975 to 1981, and until 1979, was being taped at the same time as the daytime edition. It was a weekly version called Match Game PM. The second one happened immediately after the daytime edition ended in 1979, and continued until 1982. It was just called Match Game, and it aired daily.

There was also syndicated version for only one season from 1998 to 1999.

Lassie was on CBS from 1954 to 1971, then went to first run syndication from 1971-74.

What's Happening was an ABC primetime network show from 1976-79, then returned as a syndicated program in 1985, as What's Happening, Now, which ran for 3 years.

Before the updated version in 73' Match Game ran on NBC from 62-69 in the afternoons.

The Lawrence Welk Show -- on ABC from the mid-1950s all the way to about '71, then on to syndication.

Similar to LASSIE and LAWRENCE WELK, the long-running MUTUAL OF OMAHA'S WILD KINGDOM was an NBC show, early Sunday evenings from 1963-1971, then continued in first-run syndication from 1971-1988.

Funny how they all jumped in 1971... I wonder if that was coincidence, or something going on in the industry, like CBS' 'rural purge' that year (I'm guessing LASSIE was part of that CBS purge).

The Martindale TTD was on for a short summer run on CBS from July to September of '78, and then became syndie and would run that way for 8 years (7 with Wink, the last with Jim Caldwell).

The second version of Card Sharks had a one-season syndicated run with Bill Rafferty, in addition to the CBS run with Bob Eubanks.

9 to 5 and WKRP in Cincinnati.

9 to 5 and WKRP in Cincinnati.WKRP was on CBS all 4 years, it didn't go to syndication for new episodes.

New episodes of WKRP were made for syndication from 1991-93.

New episodes of WKRP were made for syndication from 1991-93.
Yes, that's correct. WKRP was in first-run syndication from September 1991- September 1993, nine years after the network run. This was initially called The New W.K.R.P. in Cincinnati.
