I guess the contracts for each show are different. For a long time it seems they were licensing two runs of each show - Bewitched, Get Smart, That Girl, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, etc. - all had two run-throughs and have never been seen since.

I know that Hogan's Heroes has had at least three.

How many runs is this for Matlock now?

Still hoping for some surprises for September - it's been pretty stale lately.

Actually, both Bob Newhart and Newhart had only one run which was within the first year CHCH started showing Retro all day.
Charlie's Angles was on, I think in year 2, and also hasn't been on since.

I think the advertisers are sick of Matlock.
I'm sure most of you had seen the commercials looking for businesses to advertise with CHCH. Whenever I see those commercials, I say to myself "even advertisers are sick of Matlock". I'm sure they are not too thrilled with with a soap opera either.

Those commercials explain why the same shows are being shown over and over.

Even the commercials themselves are shown over and over! Like those 4 guys who make their own underwear. That one just kills me! I keep wondering when they will grow up and get a real job. The best one used to be for CHIP Reverse Mortgage. Olympic champion Kurt Browning would talk about how great it was and he would end by saying, "Call Chip Today" - and then "My Three Sons" would come on! I couldn't stop laughing! I miss stuff like that today.
