The sitcom that I never seen in syndication in the city of philadelhia is (Chico and The Man).

Too many to list. San Diego does not and never has had good many sitcoms on local stations besides The Andy Griffith Show and I Love Lucy.

So is there a sitcom from the 60's or 70's that you never saw and thatyour local stations didn;t air?

Ok-What is the one sitcom that you never had a opportunity to see and it was never showed in your local city. Just ONE!

I live in the country and am able to pick up local stations from Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay and sometimes Chicago. Thus, I have seen a wide variety of shows over the years, in syndication. There are very few shows that have never been offered (at least in the past 15 years).

Limiting it only to Wisconsin the following shows have not aired in syndication in at least 15 years:

Chico and the Man (Has aired in Chicago area)
Sanford & Son (Has aired in Chicago area)
Maude (Has aired in Chicago area)
One Day at a Time (Has aired in Chicago area)
Good Times (Has aired in Chicago area)
That's My Mama (Has aired in Chicago area)
S*W*A*T
The Rookies
Dynasty
Dallas
Knots Landing
Falcon Crest
The Doris Day Show
The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet
Make Room for Daddy (Has aired in the Chicago area)
The Flying Nun
Family Affair
Rhoda
Amos 'n' Andy (for the obvious reason)

The Only Sitcoms That DO Air in my area (Besides Cable Stations) Are I Love Lucy and Seinfeld.

LucyFan · 04-19-2003, 05:36 PM

The only classic sitcoms that air in my area are I Love Lucy & The Beverly Hillbillies. The Andy Griffith Show used to air in my local area like two years ago. That's about it besides those three.

L.A. has a huge variety of classic sitcoms/dramas because KDOC is well known for airing them.

Well, I've never seen Sanford and Son except on TV Land, and I'd like to see it in my area with less editing.

Sal · 04-19-2003, 09:21 PM

It's so hard to name just one because there are so many good shows out there that just never get shown for whatever reasons, and unfortunately, it's usually the older shows who suffer. For example, "Petticoat Junction" went for almost 30 years before being seen in my area. Here's a few others that are still waiting for CTS or PRIME to snap them up:

The Donna Reed Show
Dobie Gillis
Make Room For Daddy
Ozzie and Harriet
Father Knows Best
That Girl
Dennis The Menace
The Addams Family
F Troop
Love, American Style
Here's Lucy

Also, I am still waiting with bated breath for "My Three Sons" and "Green Acres" to come back.

The Rookies, Dynasty, Dallas, Knots Landing & Falcon Crest are DRAMAS!
And, Amos 'n Andy hasn't aired ANYWHERE in OVER the last 15 years. Unfortunately, it was yanked from sydnication in the mid 60s.

Way to go, you can distinguish sitcoms from dramas! Congrats!. I included them on the list on purpose. I am well aware of the Amos 'n' Andy situation. Did you or did you not see the (for the obvious reason) stated after it's name.

Oh, by the way, S*W*A*T is also a drama. Not only am I covering sitcoms in this post but I'm also covering dramas, if you couldn't figure it out. But you wasted a post just to alert me to this!

There go those damn Sitcom Online cops again, busting people for posting drama words on a comedy board! People need to RELAX.

I haven't seen things like st. Elsewhere, Trapper John, or any of the dramas listed above on my local channels either. I would be so happy if I did!
