I'm trying a list of sitcoms that went from a network to first-run syndication. Here's what I've come up with so far, if you know of any others please add to the list:

1. Mama's Family (original network NBC)
2. It's A Living (ABC)
3. Silver Spoons (NBC)
4. Punky Brewster (NBC)
5. Charles in Charge (CBS)
6. We Got It Made (NBC)
7. Webster (ABC)

2. What's Happening!! (ABC)

I cant remember any others except the ones you listed. I'll try to find some....

I wasn't thinking of any of the 'New' shows, I don't know if they would qualify as they were all basically new shows with some different cast members (not that the others that I listed didn't have changes, but they kept the same name).

Mister Ed went the other way around. It started in first run syndication, in 1961, and then in the fall of 1961, was picked up by a network.
