== From NBC to... ==
* ''[[Guiding Light]]'' from [[NBC]] radio (where it started in 1937) to [[CBS]] radio; from there it moved to CBS television in [[The Fifties]] – where it spent the rest of its record 72-year run (ending in 2009). Daytime serials are in an otherwise-unusual position as copyrights and trademarks to the [[Soap Opera]]'s characters are often owned by the primary sponsor (typically Proctor & Gamble) and not the network or a syndicated production company.
 
* ''[[JAG]]'' from [[NBC]] to [[CBS]] television.
* ''[[Baywatch]]'' from NBC to syndication.
* ''[[Concentration]]'' from NBC to syndication.
Line 53:
* ''[[Scrubs]]'' moved from NBC to ABC in 2008. Apparently some people were confused because ABC owned the show anyway, so it was a strange instance of being owned by one network and aired by another.
* ''[[Medium]]'' from NBC to CBS in September 2009, cozied between ''[[Ghost Whisperer]]'' and ''[[Numb3rs]]''; before it moved, it was the last CBS-produced show that wasn't on CBS or [[The CW]] (which CBS owns half of).
* ''[[Passions]]'' and ''[[Friday Night Lights (TV series)|Friday Night Lights]]'' both went from NBC to The 101 on [[DirecUS TV]]direct (a USbroadcast satellite provider, for those non-US tropers here)DirecTV.
* ''[[Get Smart]]'' moved from NBC to CBS for its fifth and final season.
* ''[[Southland]]'' from NBC to TNT.
Line 68:
* ''You Don't Say!'' was rebooted for ABC six years after NBC dropped it.
* ''[[Mama's Family|Mamas Family]]'' went to first-run syndication after one year on NBC.
* ''[[Get Smart]]''. Don't tell me, Max, that this moved from four seasons on NBC to a final season on CBS TV just to [[Jumped the Shark|jump the shark]].
** [[Running Gag|I asked you not to tell me that]].
** [[Catchphrase|Sorry about that, Chief]].
