EXACTLY! I based the number of airing per day on the episode volume of these shows. For example, What's Happening!! and Doogie Hoswer M.D. both have less that 100 episodes, so I cut both to three airings per week, to make way for other short lived, but memorable series. Likewise, some shows like the ones that air in the 6am slot were so short lived (usually one season, sometimes two), that there was no need for more than one airing, to keep these shows even with other shows on the schedule.
On the other hand, shows such as Happy Days, Cheers, and 7th Heaven get two airings daily, due to the large number of episodes of each series. Cheers and 7th Heaven both ran 11 seasons, and Happy Days ran for 10 1/2.
