That 70's Show
The King of Queens
Everybody Loves Raymond
Yes, Dear (due to TBS and local reruns)
Seinfeld

In the 80's:
Mama's Family and Charles in Charge (Mama's Family was canned on NBC after one or two seasons and Charles was canned on CBS after its first season; both went on to first-run syndication with some different cast members and enjoyed greater success, first-run and reruns)
