I don't know. I remember I was real disappointed. Nick at Nite begin airing it regularly in March 2001, then took it off the main schedule in October 2001but still aired it on some occasions on Sunday nights sometimes, then they took it off for good in January 2002. One month later, TNN picked it up in February 2002 and aired it through the end of August 2002. Then, it was nowhere to be found for 6 years until BET got it in February 2008 and aired it until August 2008, about the same amount of time TNN had it. Then it was gone again until Antenna TV started showing it in January 2013.

It would be nice for The Hub to start airing DS and more 80's sitcoms, as it is I'm tired of Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Mork & Mindy.

The HUB needs to air Emmanuel Lewis sitcom Webster thats a friendly family show that would be perfect on that channel.
