• I saw two episodes of “Cheers” yesterday on WGN as I was off work for the holiday. The show still cracks me up.

  But Cheers and Family Ties were NBC Shows. Were they produced by CBS and aired on NBC?

  • They were produced by Paramount which is now CBS Paramount Television Productions.

• Right. Because “The Andy Griffith Show” wasn’t in *constant* afternoon syndication throughout the decades following its original run.

• Anyone notice that this new deal with CBS doesn’t include new shows like The Good Wife, CSI, NCIS or the new Hawaii Five O? Medium was just cancelled and CBS gets Flashpoint dirt cheap from CTV Canada. I think this is just CBS making some extra cash from old product gathering dust.

  • You’re a fucking genius.

    I’m taking my finger off the sarcasm button now (in case you’re confused).

• Would love to see this expanded to some deeper catalog, especially “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” etc.
