I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but this happens to me that I normally watch only shows in syndication/reruns and not in their network first run.

For example I watch Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory in their syndicated reruns but not in their current first run network episodes, it's like to me I feel like I'm not missing anything since those network episodes will eventually join the syndication package too.

Home Improvement- Some episodes in syndicated are a bit different to the episodes in first run network airings.
