Trends of Sitcoms on TV Networks - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Have you ever noticed that some Nick at Nite shows came directly from TBS Superstation and are now on TV Land? For example, I Love Lucy aired on TBS in the 1980's and early 90's and moved to Nick at Nite in 1994 and aired on that network for seven years before moving to TV Land in October of 2001. Other shows have followed the pattern of I Love Lucy.

Here is a list of shows that have I come up with:
Brady Bunch
TBS: 1990's, Nick at Nite: 1998-2001, 2003; TV Land: 2002-Present

Gilligan's Island
TBS: 1990's to early 2000's, Nick at Nite: 2000-2001, TV Land: 2002-Present

Laverne & Shirley
TBS: 1990's, Nick at Nite: 1998-2001, TV Land: 2002

I Dream of Jeannie
TBS: 1990's, Nick at Nite: 1994-1997, TV Land: 1997-2000, 2003-???

Bewitched
TBS: 1980's and 1990's, Nick at Nite: 1989-1991, 1994-2000; TV Land: 2003- ???

Happy Days

You also notice that in 2000/2001 N@N lost all the good shows and replaced them with Modern Classics?

Don't forget Full House.That went from TBS and will soon go to N@N as well as Roseanne and Fresh Prinze.Time will tell if those shows will air on TV Land eventually.

That means Friends and Seinfeld aren't far off from becoming N@N shows as well.

The only thing is Wings.How'd that come into play?

Three's Company is like only four or five months from being on TVLand, and by then it will have completed that cycle also. Didn't The Andy Griffith Show go through that trend, too?

Kind of. The Andy Griffith Show was on TBS for years (I'm not sure which years), and then moved to TV Land. And then it shared episodes with Nick at Nite for a while.
