    Wow, way to completely gloss over the fact that Futurama has been on THREE networks when it moved to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim even though it was re-runs it was the popularity gained there that afforded it to be brought back completely new when Comedy Central outbid CN for the rights.

      mmcb105 Actually according to the premise of the entire article that doesn't really count at all. If we go by that, Seinfeld has been on like 10 different networks.

    Baywatch? Is going to first run syndication really the same as switching networks? Lots of shows did that back then. Fame. Its a Living. Charles in Charge.
