Are Yes, Dear reruns scarce on TV now? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I often wonder why reruns of Yes, Dear are rarely shown on TV anymore? Because Yes, Dear was very popular when it originally debuted on CBS but ever since it ended it's run Yes, Dear reruns are scarce to find on TV. Is it because Yes, Dear reruns would not be suitable for some TV stations? Because this is one sitcom Rewind TV or Cozi TV should get in the future

Did it run 4 seasons? Maybe it's too $$$$$

Yes, Dear actually lasted 6 seasons for 122 episodes total. Only the first 4 were full seasons though. Yes Dear did ok first-run (but not as popular as The King of Queens or Becker and nowhere near Raymond), but really flopped in syndication. Even Still Standing which only lasted four seasons did better there with syndicated runs on Lifetime and ABCFamily. I think Yes, Dear's most recent linear station was the obscure channel NickMom.

The last time I remember seeing reruns of Yes, Dear was when it was aired on TBS in the early 2010's. But It's been many years since then.

Yep, you nailed it. It's just one of those shows that did okay when it was initially on the air, but didn't do as well when it got repeats. IMO, Yes, Dear is good background noise, just not something I'd pay close attention to compared to other stuff.
