What TV Shows are Cash Cows?

I know "The Simpsons", "Sesame Street", "Spongebob", and Reality Shows are big cash cows.

Family Guy, Dora the Explorer, Scooby-Doo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I Love Lucy, Star Trek, The Flintstones

Buffy the Vampire Slayer....I should know, I own almost EVERY Buffy item created....I'm a HUGE Buffy fan!

Not currently but historically, The Flintstones and many 60s show like Batman and Star Trek and other various spy and space shows.

I Love Lucy. I read somewhere that show is still making money in syndication.

How about $20 million (http://articles.latimes.com/2012/sep/20/entertainment/la-et-ct-cbslucy-20120920) last year!

I was surprised at I LOve Lucy for I figured after 50+ years it would be one those public domain shows. Who would pay for it after it has been air one million times. I watch ILL, time to time and still get laughs.

I would too...some Cash Cows aren't bad, like "I Love Lucy" and "Star Trek: Original".

The ones I can't stand is "Sesame Street" (Don't get me wrong, the show still has legs, but it has "Elmo's World")! And "The Simpsons".

How about "Green Acres"? :lol: :lol:

Glee. It makes money on its musical sales which make its ratings have more breathing room. (Hence the 2-season renewal despite dropping ratings)

Happy Days was big for ABC -- including lots of merchandising.
