You hit the nail on the head on all the shows. Sadly, Everybody Loves Raymond, Seinfeld, Friends, Roseanne, The Cosby Show, The Golden Girls, Frasier have taken over and have been run into the ground. Therefore, the shows you mentioned are not on tv. To be fair, The Wonder Years was on The Hub recently and Mary Tyler Moore airs on ME-TV.

YES. I don't know why Antenna TV isn't showing it - practically all the other Norman Lear shows air on that station.

IllinoisTVFan · 11-06-2012, 03:54 AM

I don't know if these shows air in my area at all and both Me-TV and Antenna TV are local stations:

Facts Of Life (I'd really love to see this one)
Head of the Class
Welcome Back Kotter

These are three that came to mind.

Facts of Life airs Wednesday nights on the Hub, 7-9PM central time with an encore 1-3AM.

It's been rather scarce for a whole decade now, but it really surprised me when "Gilligan's Island" disappeared from view. Throughout the 70s/80s/90s, it was just such a constant presence, whether on local stations or cable. I don't think there was a single period in which its reruns weren't accessible on some channel during that time. Then, all of the sudden, it just seemed to disappear. I'm not even particularly that big a fan of the show, but somehow, no longer having it around as part of the common tv backdrop, just seemed... curiously and uncomfortably jarring.

ER immediately comes to mind. It had a remarkably successful 15-year run. Reruns aired on TNT for several years, and for a while in weekend local syndication and on Daytime WB.

The show disappeared from television altogether right around the time the final episode aired on NBC, and hasn't been seen since. The only way you can watch ER now is on DVD or via Amazon's streaming service (though you have to pay per season/episode).

Almost the same exact thing has happenned with "The Flintstones".

Unfortunately I don't have the Hub, but I wish I did.
