TV shows that should be brought back in re-runs - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Will and Grace Fanatic · 01-25-2015, 01:56 PM

There are alot of tv shows that were in re-runs so many years ago but you never see in re-runs anymore. What shows would you like to see back in re-runs. I'm not counting shows that are on netflix, hulu, etc.

For me they are:

Dobie Gillis
Charles in Charge
The Facts of Life
Ellen
The Lucy Show
The Adams Family
The Charmings
The Hogan Family
My Two Dads
Punky Brewster
Dharma and Greg
Dinosaurs
Empty Nest
Hey Dude
Jesse (98-00 series)
Veronica's Closet
The John Larroquette Show
Mad About You
Murphy Brown
Salute Your Shorts
Step By Step
Less Than Perfect

Ones I'd like to see return:

The Drew Carey Show
Major Dad
Suddenly Susan
Perfect Strangers
Alice
Chico and the Man
Empty Nest
Grace Under Fire
Baywatch
Desperate Housewives
Garfield and Friends
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original 80s/90s version)

And....I know these are on AntennaTV or MeTV but I don't get those channels:

Mr. Belvedere
Green Acres
Small Wonder
Petticoat Junction
Newhart
Evening Shade

Some of my list may be on channels like Antenna TV and Me-TV but since we don't get anything like that and can only get Dish or Direct TV, these are shows I wish were on something available to people like me that can't get anything using an antenna.

Major Dad
Family
Perfect Strangers
Empty Nest
The Hogan Family
Call To Glory
Wonderful World of Disney
Grace Under Fire
Emergency!
Here Come the Brides
One Day at a Time
Petticoat Junction
The Newlywed Game
The Dating Game
Room 222

Murphy Brown airs commercial free on Encore Classic, weeknights at 6PM and after the 9PM movie ends. It also has a Sunday night airing. Mad About You airs on FXX and they also put 5 different episodes a week on demand for Comcast customers.

Does anyone remember Family with Kristy McNichol? She played Buddy. And her brother Willy and a sister played by Meredith Baxter ( I can't remember her name in the show, but there was a brunette actress who played her first) And her Mom and Dad! Good show , I'd like to see it again. It seems to never be on anywhere in reruns!
