* [[Vindicated by Reruns]]: The aforementioned reruns on [[USA Network]] and [[GSN]] are probably what helped the show stay in the limelight a lot longer than other shows of its ilk.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** As early as January 1985, series creator Bill Carruthers planned a nighttime version of the show for syndication to be distributed by Golden West Television.
** In early 1986, as the show's network fate was becoming rather clear, Carruthers tried the route again —- albeit this time, the show would be moving directly from [[CBS]] into daily syndication with 130 new episodes for the 1986-87 season, now distributed by Republic Pictures. Still didn't work.
** ...so Republic repackaged 26 weeks from 1985 for syndicated repeats, which were bought by a few stations for early 1987. On September 14 of that year, USA Network began rerunning the show until 1995.
