What shows were moved a lot during their run and still survived to do 4 seasons or more. Two I can think of are Wings and Newsradio. Both moved many times but still lasted years.

Bones has aired new episodes on every night except Saturday and Sunday, and will be heading into its tenth season in the fall.

Just Shoot Me was moved around the schedule a lot but managed a nice long run...

Newsradio as well; it was rare for that show to have a regular timeslot for long.


I can't be sure, but wasn't Coach moved around a lot as well?

I think Coach was on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during its run.

All in the Family was moved a lot, from Tuesday in 1st season, few seasons on Saturday night, then Monday, Wednesday and Sunday for last 2 seasons.

One Day at the Time was moved 11 times.

Very true, I never understood why they moved it so much. It's last 3 seasons had horrible ratings do to this schedule change happening so much.

Seems like it's how a Network tries to kill a tv show they don't like.
