TV Shows that have not been on TV for a long time - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

mets82 · 12-29-2012, 10:52 PM

I ask this because ALF, The Facts of Life, Too Close for Comfort have been seen on The Hub and Antenna TV respectively. Before that, I dont think they were on for years. I think the last time I saw ALF and TCFC was probably not even in the 2000s!! Probably in the early to late 90s. Facts of Life has aired on and off in the 2000s but I think you get the point.

So what shows havent you seen on tv in a long time? I have a couple of examples:

Silver Spoons
Small Wonder
Charles in Charge
Joanie loves Chacai

I like this question!

Just the ten of us---- early 90's on USA

The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd--- I don't think it's even aired since it's original run

Ally McBeal---- early 2000's on FX

The Practice---- mid-2000's on FX

Growing Pains--- It hasn't aired for a few years now... I think it was on Nick at Nite in like 2009 but it hasn't been seen since.

Gimme A Break--- I can't recall, but I don't think it's aired since the 1990's.

Gilligans Island...I can't remember what year I last seen it on but it's been a few for sure. Whenever it was last on TV Land most likely.

JamesG · 12-30-2012, 10:58 AM

"Unhappily Ever After" since the late 90s.

DSfan · 12-30-2012, 03:29 PM

California Dreams - WGN in 2003
Step by Step - ABC Family in 2009
Mama's Family - TBS (2006?)

factsoflife · 12-30-2012, 05:59 PM

The Hogan Family--- I don't think it's aired anywhere since ABC Family took it off the air after like 3-airings.

Suddenly Susan- I don't believe it's aired since Lifetime had it around 2005/2006ish. Too bad it's a wonderful series.

"One Day At a Time" and "The Fall Guy". There really are too many to list though(as far as classics go).So many classic shows from the 1950s-mid 1970s have not been shown on TV in a long time.

Yeah,I thought it was around the mid 90s or so.It's rediculous how so many top shows have been removed from the airwaves.When there were much less cable channels needless to say there was A LOT more variety.--Well,at least channels like Me and Antenna TV have stepped in the picture.

I think it's a good chance it will appear in the world of digital TV
