They should not put anything on that hasn't been off the air for at leat 10 years.
But that is just wishful thinking, I know they just suck now.
Also you forgot:

Coach (5 years)

Personal note: I think "Coach" is the worst sitcom ever made. I stopped watching Nick @ Night the day that put this on (after being a loyal fan for many years)

I just wish they'd stop showing four episodes of The Cosby Show a night, every night. And get rid of Kids Say the Darndest Things too. And why the hell is Full House coming?

At least Cheers and Wings are on N@N

If it weren't for those two shows, I wouldn't bother with N@N.

Believe it or not, there is one show that has went from network TV to Nick at Nite faster than any of those shows you listed. In the early 1990s, there was a short-lived sitcom called "Hi Honey, I'm Home" which was called America's Instant Rerun. Original episodes aired on ABC and were rerun on Nick at Nite a week later.

Technically All in the Family could be added to the list because the last telecast from CBS was August 1992. Depends on how you look at it.

All in the Family-(7 years)

Didn't "Hi Honey, I'm Home" air on NAN first & didn't NAN create that show basically as a "creative" commercial for their network.

I don't think Nick-at-Nite created 'Hi Honey, I'm Home' because a episode would be aired on ABC for their Friday night line-up. Then afterwards, the episode would then rerun again on Sunday night on Nick-at-Nite.

I believe it was Television's First Instant Rerun.

Nickelodeon did create Hi Honey I'm home, and it aired on ABC for a few episodes at the same time it aired on Nick at Nite. But it was made for Nick at Nite at Nickelodeon studios in Orlando.
