[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 363671, member: 7"] Some of the sitcoms that got a revival in syndication underwent numerous changes during the transition, especially those that languished a few years before getting renewed for their "second life" in syndication. MAMA'S FAMILY (the #1 sitcom in syndication the entire four years it aired in that market) lost Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman, and Betty White and Rue McClanahan moved on to THE GOLDEN GIRLS on NBC. MAMA'S FAMILY was cancelled by NBC in 1984, and was brought back in first-run syndication in 1986. Vicki Lawrence, Ken Berry, and Dorothy Lyman all reprised their roles. Also added to the mix were Beverly Archer and Allan Kayser, and the sitcom produced an additional 95 episodes (bringing the series total to 130) before closing up shop in 1990. I recall watching MAMA'S FAMILY on the ION channel and TBS when I was a kid. On the latter station, it aired in the mornings, immediately following SAVED BY THE BELL. It's still one my favorite television sitcoms. [ATTACH type="full"]45933[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
