Reading stuff at Wikipedia got me thinking when I saw the entry for "Jake
and the Fatman" stated that the series has never entered US syndication!
You'd think some cable channel would have picked it up (calling Hallmark!).
Stan Brown...

Lifetime!
They show lots of Joe Penny movies; a series seems a logical stretch.
Taylor...
|
They should run it on NBC Universal's Sleuth (mystery) channel.
Jude Cormier...
|
Which is yet to have been picked up by DirecTV, depsite a press release
stating so.
Taylor...
|
Really? What are they showing on the space previously occupied by the
also NBC Uni-owned Trio channel?
Jude Cormier...
|
Nothing, the channel designation was never given to anyone else.

What other series that have run multiple (at least 3) seasons and have yet
never entered syndication (broadcast or cable)?
I remembered it being posted here that "The Nurses" a '60s series (that
later became "The Doctors and the Nurses") never was syndicated despite
having nearly 100 episodes.
Oh yea, how 'bout "Herman's Head"?

Well, I was going to say Herman's Head but since you beat me to it, how
about Superboy. Not a network show, but it ran several seasons then
disappeared into a legal wasteland never to be rerun. Were either Out of
this World or The Munsters Today ever rerun?
Jude Cormier...
|
Superboy ran for just two seasons I think (three at the most).
Russell Watson...
|
4 seasons with 2 different guys each playing the title role for 2
seasons.
Jude Cormier...
|
Hmmmmmmm, I thought Gerard whats-his-name was fired after the first season?
|
|
|
ANIM8Rfsk...
|
Superboy is coming on DVD.
|
|
Taylor...
|
How about the floundering failed NBC sitcom 'Nurses', the 'Empty Nest'
spinoff?
Jude Cormier...
|
Lifetime reran it a few years back.
