Line 15:
** And just like the trope, it may be poorly performing on one channel while on another channel it skyrockets in popularity. Of course, a 3.5 rating on ABC is cancel-worthy; a 3.5 rating on USA is cause for celebration.
* Behind-the-Scenes Politics: One network made a great offer and the current network isn't dedicated enough to hold on to the show.
* New Umbrella Channel: A major production company gets the needed things in order so they can have a network station that only airs their programming. Or that production company buys out the network channel. [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] was bought by [[Disney]] in 1996, [[UPN]] was owned by [[Paramount]], [[The WB]] was owned by [[Warner Brothers]], and there are even more when it comes to cable channels.
Note that this only counts ''new'' episodes; else, the sheer number of places they've shown ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' reruns would make the page overflow. Channels calling episodes "premieres" when they know full well that they originally aired somewhere else are telling you [[Blatant Lies]].
Line 24:
* ''The Danny Thomas Show'' (aka ''Make Room for Daddy'') jumped from ABC to CBS in 1957.
* ''[[T. J. Hooker]]'' was cancelled after four seasons by ABC, CBS picked up season five and aired the new episodes in its 11:30PM Crimetime After Primetime slot.
* ''[[Sister, Sister]]'' from [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] to [[The WB]].
* ''[[Family Matters]]'' from ABC to CBS.
* ''[[Step by Step]]'' made the ABC to CBS move at the exact same time as [[Family Matters]]. Neither lasted more than one season on the new channel.
Line 30:
* ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'' started on ABC in 1959 as ''Rocky and His Friends'', then moved to NBC in 1961 where it was retitled ''The Bullwinkle Show.'' It ran in prime time for two years and Saturday morning for one more. It then moved ''back'' to ABC in 1964 for eight years in reruns until it was syndicated and given the title it is now best known by. It was also syndicated in 30-minute components as ''Rocky and His Friends'' and in 15-minute components as ''The Rocky Show.''
* ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' (American) from ABC to ABC Family. Although all of its content was taped before the move, there were unaired episodes still in the can, as well as enough raw footage that the producers could create "new" shows several years after taping ended.
* ''[[
* ''The Hughleys'' moved from [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] to [[UPN]] in 2000.
* When ''[[Taxi]]'' was cancelled by ABC, NBC picked it up; it ran for one more season. They kept it at Thursday Nights at 9:00, and ran ads with Danny Devito saying "[[Take That|Same time, better station!]]"
* ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'' moved from [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] to [[The WB]]
* [[Aaron Sorkin]] briefly mulled moving ''[[Sports Night]]'' to HBO.
* ''[[Teamo Supremo]]'' started on ABC and moved to [[Toon Disney]] after [[One Saturday Morning]] went defunct.
Line 43:
== 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 (in this case, Proctor & Gamble) and not the network or a syndicated production company.
* ''[[JAG]]'' from
* ''[[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
* ''[[Get Smart]]'' moved from NBC to CBS for its fifth and final season. Don't tell me, Max, that this moved to CBS just to [[Jumped the Shark|jump the shark]].
** [[Running Gag|I asked you not to tell me that]].
** [[Catch Phrase|Sorry about that, Chief]].
* ''[[Southland]]'' from NBC to TNT.
* ''[[Late Night]]
* ''I'll Fly Away'' was briefly revived on [[PBS]] after cancellation by NBC.
* ''[[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]]'''s seventh season was its first after moving to USA.
* ''[[Silver Spoons]]'' and ''[[Punky Brewster]]'' both jumped from NBC to syndication (both shows, along with [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] to [[CBS]] jumper ''[[Family Matters]]'', were produced by David Duclon).
* ''[[Conan O'Brien]]'' from NBC to TBS after some serious [[Executive Meddling]].
* ''The Father Dowling Mysteries'' from NBC to ABC.
Line 105 ⟶ 107:
* ''[[The Magic School Bus]]'' from [[PBS]] to [[FOX]] to [[Discovery Channel|Discovery Kids]], TLC & later Qubo.
* ''[[Ghostwriter (TV series)|Ghostwriter]]'' from [[PBS]] to [[UPN]] to [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] to [[Nick Jr.|Noggin]] to [[The N]].
* ''[[Shining Time Station]]'' from [[PBS]] to Fox Family (now [[ABC Family]]) to [[Nick Jr.]] on [[Nickelodeon]].
* ''[[Adventures from the Book of Virtues]]'' from [[PBS]] to both Qubo & BYUtv.
Line 111 ⟶ 113:
== From a Cable Channel to... ==
* ''[[Doug]]'' from [[Nickelodeon]] to Disney's [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].
* This happens with a lot of sister/parent networks, as they often show the same shows at the same time. ''[[Kappa Mikey]]'' was produced solely for Nicktoons Network, but because it was controlled by their larger parent network [[Nickelodeon]], new episodes sometimes premiered there first. When episodes stopped airing on Nick but continued on Nicktoons, some took this to mean it was canceled. It never had a consistent airing schedule either, and time will tell if it gets syndicated somewhere else.
* ''[[WWE Raw]]'' from USA to TNN which [[Network Decay|renamed itself Spike TV]], and then back to USA.
Line 124 ⟶ 126:
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' is a rather odd example. From the second season onward, new episodes moved from [[Disney Channel]] to [[Disney XD]], however it still airs regularly on the former which still treats it as its own series and airs [[Blatant Lies|brand new]] episodes anywhere from a week to a month after its sister network.
* ''Damages'' from FX to The 101 on [[Direc TV]].
* ''[[Madeline]]'' from HBO to The Family Channel (now [[ABC Family]]) to [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] to [[Disney Channel]].
* American broadcasts of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' moved from [[Syfy]] to [[The BBC|BBC America]] (who had repeat rights previously) after New Series 4.
* American broadcasts of ''[[Torchwood]]'' moved from [[Syfy]] to Starz with the Starz co-produced ''[[Torchwood: Miracle Day|Miracle Day]]''. Starz saw a big subscriber jump as a result of the move.
Line 172 ⟶ 174:
* Possibly the first instance of this trope, ''[[Mr. Ed]]'' was originally a first run syndicated show before being picked up by CBS.
* [[Inspector Gadget]] had a brief run on CBS in 1992 after runs in syndication and Nickelodeon.
* ''The [[Howard Stern]] Show'' ran in syndication from WXRK in New York City from 1986-2005; it then channel-hopped to [[SiriusXM]] satellite radio after a long list of run-ins with the [[Media Watchdog|Federal Communications Commission]].
* ''[[101 Dalmatians|101 Dalmatians: The Series]]'' had an interesting example: it was syndicated ''and'' shown on ABC's [[One Saturday Morning]] at the same time!
Line 203 ⟶ 206:
* ''[[The Practice]]'' was on ITV, the BBC and [[Sky 1]].
* The first two seasons of ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' were on Living, but the third and final season was on Trouble.
* Although [[David Letterman]] has a cult following in Britain, ''[[Late Show
* The first season of ''[[Ghost Whisperer]]'' was on E4, but from season two it was shown on Living (a better fit, given that Living is known for running ghost-themed shows like ''Most Haunted'').
* ''You Don't Say!'' (NBC), ''Seven Keys'' (ABC), and ''Beat The Odds'' (syndication) all began as local shows in Los Angeles before going national.
Line 251 ⟶ 254:
* ''[[Fright Night]]'' was backed by Columbia Pictures and a production of Vista Films; for the sequel was done by Vista and distributed by Columbia's sister studio Tristar internationally - and the remake came from DreamWorks.
* ''[[Arlington Road]]'' was to have been originally released by [[Polygram Filmed Entertainment]] but after a delay (due to Columbine) and Polygram merging with October Films (to become USA Films and later Focus Features), the film was sold to Screen Gems.
* ''[[Mulholland Drive]]'' was originally shot for the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] network and financed by [[Disney|Touchstone Pictures]]. After ABC passed on it, director [[David Lynch]] decided to rework it and got production company Studio Canal to buy the film and finance the shooting of new footage. [[Universal]] ended up releasing the film as part of their relationship with Studio Canal.
* The ''[[Emmanuelle (video game)]]'' films released theatrically went from Columbia to Paramount to Miramax to Cannon. Four films, four distributors.
