Blossom- At least where I live, after the show originally stopped on NBC, I have never seen it in reruns.

The Hogan Family- I have seen it a few times in reruns. It used to come on a local channel in the wee hours of the morning in the '90s. It was also on ABC Family in 2006. I have not seen it since.

Gimme A Break- used to be on USA years ago, but I have not seen it since.

Head Of The Class- It had a 1 week '80s special on Nick At Nite back in 2001 or 2002.

Drew Carey- Aired briefly on TBS back in 2002 or 2003.

Mr. Belvedere- I have never seen this one in reruns after it ended on ABC.

Webster- I have never seen this one in reruns after it ended.

Empty Nest- Aired VERY briefly on Hallmark a couple of years ago, but came and went like the blink of an eye.

ALF- Aired briefly on a local FOX affiliate in the early '90s and did a 1 week special on Nick At Nite.

Just The Ten Of Us- Aired on USA back in the '90s and did 1 episode on TVLand Merrython back in 2001.

Grace Under Fire- Aired briefly on Oxygen, but I have not seen this show in about 10 years.

Perfect Strangers- Did a 1 week special on Nick At Nite back in 2001.

News Radio- Aired briefly on A&E back in 2000 - 2002(?).

One of them, Mr. Belvedere, had only occasional appearances in Syndication since September 1989. KTTV in Los Angeles was one of them.

But currently, it can be seen on FamilyNet.

Night Court is currently airing commercial free on Encore Classic, weeknights at 5:30PM and 7:30PM.

I know some of these shows are on AntennaTV and MeTV but I don't get these channels.

Saved by the Bell:The New Class
Blossom

are the two that I've never seen in syndication. I will say that I havent seen California Dreams, USA High, Growing Pains and Hang Time on for a while. I know CD used to air in syndication around 2003 which is the same time Hang Time and Growing Pains aired on ABC Family.

Some of these shows mentioned are shown in Canada.

Growing Pains was added back in September.
Even more recently Major Dad was added.
I think we get Drew Carey.

I get Night Court and Newhart.

Perfect Strangers and Murphy Brown used to be on reglarly, but now they are gone.

As for Maude, I don't think that show does well in syndication. Quite a few times I got Maude for a little while and then it was gone again

I haven't seen Blossom in ages, another one is Herman's Head which aired for 3 seasons on FOX to my knowledge has never been in reruns and it's funny too since this sitcom we finally got to see the faces of The Simpsons voice actors Hank Azaria and Yeardly Smith.

I thought we'd we it return to TV when Hot in Cleveland got so popular but I guess not.

Someone claimed that the reason you don't see One Day at a Time is the same reason you don't see much of any programming from the '70s on the other networks: TV programmers, in general, don't like to run shows that are more than 10 or so years old, as they think only "old" people would be watching.

The majority after awhile.

I'd rather see One Day at a Time (also a Lear show) than any of the others.

Just looked up a lot of your shows that you mentioned on wikipedia. Great list. Never even heard of some of these shows.

But is it 10 years since a show debuts or 10 years after it's cancelled?

I just think that One Day at a Time, like Maude, doesn't do well in reruns.

Up until a little over a year ago, I was getting ODAAT in Canada. However, it was never shown in the more desirable time slots, only in the mornings.
Sorry ODAAT fans, but I'm glad that show has left. Except for Barbara, the other characters were unwatchable.

A few 1970's shows are shown regularly in reruns - AITF, Bob Newhart, MTM, Rhoda, Jeffersons, So I'm assuming quite a few people watch them.

Also, I would think that a show would have to be on for a miminmun no. of years for it to be considered. For example, Flo only lasted one season.

This comment right here is just wanting to start up a dispute and getting personal with others, and possibly disrespecting the memory of Bonnie Franklin.:mad:

Generally, if shows don't do well in local syndication after a few years, they are pulled off the air and never seen again. These days, it depends on the show, how much it is sold for in syndication and who is syndicating it. And marketing research tells a lot about how well certain shows will do in syndication and which ones will not.

How about local syndicated reruns of sitcoms (that are no longer first-run) being pulled off the air after a few years due to intense competition?

Get.

Over.

IT.

^^You're gonna get yourself suspended for making such hateful posts.

I don't think Newsradio has been seen much since it left NBC.

Coach used to air on USA but I haven't seen it in years.

A Different World has aired on various cable networks for short intervals but to my knowledge hasn't been in local syndication in many years.

I don't think Hello, Larry has ever been rerun.

I don't think Ally McBeal has been seen on TV in decades, I believe it got pulled from FX in like 2003-2004, and hasn't been seen since.

The Practice hasn't been seen much either.

Coach has aired on Reelz in recent years as well as VH1 Classic and another cable channel that I can't think of right now.

A Different World recently started airing on KNLC 24 in St. Louis.

I think A Different World is on TV One. And I was delighted to find Murphy Brown on Encore Classic. Encore Black also is now showing Amen and 227, along with Different Strokes, but that is on Antenna TV too. Mr. Belvedere is on Family Net. I have very rarely seen one of my favorite old classics, I Married Joan, on reruns. It ran, for a brief time, on the Comedy Channel in its early days along with Car 54. Car 54 is on Me-TV once a week; with a short run, not many episodes, but most of them were gems.:)

^^You're gonna get yourself suspended for making such hateful posts.
No, you're going to get yourself in trouble for reporting the same posts over and over again. I told you in an e-mail that no rules are being broken here. I'm serious, stop reporting posts.

^^I have already decided to put the two individuals on my ignore list indefinitely. the dispute was about One Day at a Time not being seen in reruns, and I thought her post disrespected the memory of one of its stars, Bonnie Franklin, who died last year.

Not my fault that I have to defend a long-running sitcom has been extinct from reruns for years and now one of its stars passed away.

I have also decided that there will be no further mention of One Day at a Time in this thread.

The thing is alot of the shows you mentioned have aired re-runs but they didn't last long. I'm assuming just because their rerun ratings were poor. Maybe if those networks would have given them more time to air they could have caught on again. But these days no network is willing to wait for the bigger ratings to kick in.

Any TV show that has ran for three seasons or less will end up being snubbed from reruns, also. Period.

one day at a time is on antenna tv, drew carey is on laff, blossom was on the hub, mr. belvedere is on antenna tv

Any TV show that has ran for three seasons or less will end up being snubbed from reruns, also. Period.
That's not being "snubbed", that means the show just didn't do well enough to be syndicated. Besides, quite a few short-lived shows wound up on USA and various other networks in the 90s. Usually aired once a week.

To the OP, Blossom aired very briefly in syndication c. 1995. I think it was gone by 1998.

It does seem weird that Maude, One Day at a Time didn't do as well as the other Norman Lear sitcoms. Despite successful runs on Nick at Nite and MeTV, I read that Mary Tyler Moore Show bombed in syndication back in the 70s and early-80s.

One of them, Mr. Belvedere, had only occasional appearances in Syndication since September 1989. KTTV in Los Angeles was one of them.

But currently, it can be seen on FamilyNet.

As well as antenna TV

Murphy Brown.

It's being rerun on Encore Classic along with Night Court.

The only way to really cover this subject, since some shows were still sold in syndication, but not air in every market, is to look over old issues of Variety and Broadcasting. It's hard to judge if a show did well or not, if it wasn't on in your home TV market, but airing in others. So a show might have sold in fewer markets in the long term,but hardly snubbed.

As for Now, There's another issue why we still don't get to see some of these shows - is the studios-syndicate doesn't have a usable set of episodes for current syndication in modern format, they are not going to spend the money to strike up a new set,edited to 21/43 minutes and make little return. This is the reason many of the older shows haven't turned up on the retro nets and cable.

This was the reason AntennaTV didn't get "The Farmer's Daughter" - Sony didn't want to put the time and energy in preparing a set in current syndication format. It was going to cost more in lab and work time than Sony would make from the contract - with no possible home video to even offset it.

On those old Variety and Broadcasting issues, there are ads touting the household ratings figures for certain shows in local syndication (whether first-run or reruns). For example, Three's Company (a show that was definitely NOT snubbed in reruns) must have been immensely successful in local syndication during the 1980s and early 1990s.

It is just hard to understand how Farmer's Daughter could be in that bad of shape when he was syndicated in the 1980's. They got My Mother a Car and IAT and they look just fine.

WKRP hasn't been snubbed. It aired on Antenna TV up until this year, but the rights lapsed. It actually aired for a few years there and on several other networks over the last 15 or so years.

Haven't seen thirtysomething in about 20 years. Wonder if it would still hold up...

Before 2006, The Hogan Family was also reran on PAX in the late '90s-early 2000s.

Gimme a Break! was briefly reran on TVOne last year but disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Head of the Class also had a one-time rerun on TVLand during its 2005 Slaute to the 50 years of Warner Bros. Television.

The Drew Carey Show was last reran on IoN during 2008, which was at the same time as very early into Drew Carey's tenure as host of TPiR.

Mr. Belvedere was reran on both FamNET (Family Net) prior to early last year and currently on Antenna TV.

Webster hasn't been reran since it was last seen on Me-TV and Me-Too in 2009.

Empty Nest is now on digital subchannel Laff TV.

ALF also had a brief one-time rerun TV Land in 2004 used to promote the *coughs* disastrous *coughs* ALF's Hit Talk Show.

Just the Ten of Us had a one-time rerun on TV Land in 2004 to promote a special "Before They Were Friends" Special Marathon for all the shows that the cast of Friends were either stars or guest-stars on before Friends started and leading up to the series finale of Friends that same year too.

Perfect Strangers was also reran in 2005 as part of TV Land's Salute to 50 Years of Warner Bros. Television and was also briefly reran on IoN not too long after that.

ALF also had a brief one-time rerun TV Land in 2004 used to promote the *coughs* disastrous *coughs* ALF's Hit Talk Show.Since then ALF has aired on WGN and the Hub.

All right, the truth is, a couple of years ago, I reported the posts in this thread about One Day at a Time because after not being able to watch that sitcom for years, I felt insulted by Dianne3's "I'm glad ODaaT has left the airwaves" remark, and TV_on_the_Porch's "demand" to "Get over it.". I did not like the tone of TV_on_the_Porch's reply, and I would have easily just flipped out on him anyway because of it.

To Dianne3 and TV_on_the_Porch: I am never, ever going to get over never being able to watch One Day at a Time.

^^^As of now, ODAAT airs on three channels--Antenna TV, Logo (which also streams if you provide cable info), and Fetv. Definitely not being snubbed in syndication now.

I wish Chico and the Man and Who's the Boss? would air more in re-runs. Never seen either but would love to. I'd also love to see Me-TV pick up Perfect Strangers & It's a Living, two shows painfully neglected in syndication.

Mama’s Family was on TBS? I did not know this until now.

Antenna TV and MeTV air many shows that were on for three seasons or less.

How about St. Elsewhere? That one hasn't been in syndication since TV Land aired it a very, very long time ago! I wish MeTV would pick it up. It was such an insanely popular show.

I don’t get this whole “snubbed” issue. None of these shows were “snubbed”. Many of them did air in syndication at one time, were not successful, and therefore have disappeared. That’s normal. Murphy Brown was syndicated in the 1990s and almost immediately moved to weekend and overnight time periods because large audiences simply didn’t enjoy it in reruns. That’s not being “snubbed”. Same thing happened with “Empty Nest”.

“Hazel” was a staple of syndicated reruns in the 1970s, since it was one of the earliest color sitcoms and there was a great desire for color reruns in the 1970s. But the show aged and got played out and has been seen much less since then. Again, not a “snub”.

I guess I’m debating semantics. If this thread was titled “Shows that aren’t rerun much any more”, I’d get it.

I agree with the assessment above. The same could be said of MTM--it was once very popular in syndication; now, it's nowhere to be seen, other than in the MeTV graveyard.

I honestly think (and I'm not saying anything about likes and dislikes) that's what will happen to Murphy Brown and Benson on Antenna TV. They'll be given royal treatment and then be shifted to overnight.

One of the benefits of watching shows on home video is it doesn't manner what the stations/networks are showing, if you have a hankering to watch a show you haven't seen in years all you need to do is fire up your player, insert a disk and sit back and relax while your show is playing. :) An added benefit is you don't have to cope with 20+ minutes of commercials each hour you are watching. :angryfire Let's face it, "Appointment TV" is DEAD. :rip:

half of these shows are going be on antenna tv this 2018
