Are any of these shows played in your area?
All of these fall under the "just missed it" category and would like to see them again. Are there any stations playing these shows?
Dr. Who (SciFi used to play it a ways back and my cable company didn't carry the channel at that time)
Star Trek Animated (the only Trek in existence not to be played over and over?)
Battle of the Planets/G-Force (Cartoon Network used to play it and once again, my cable company didn't carry it at the time)
Superboy (this ran while I was in college and I never saw more than 4-5 episodes. I know it wasn't very good, but always wanted to see more)
Mission: Impossible (FX used to play it)
Needless to say, by the time I switched to Dish Network in order to get SciFi and Toon, Dr. Who and G-Force were done.
So, any rumors of these shows coming back somewhere?

I think Dr. Who appears late at night on weekends on our local PBS affiliate.
No to the rest. I hope they put the animated Star Trek series on DVD. They used to run the episodes on Nickelodeon years ago. I'm surprised that Sci-Fi channel does not pick them up.

I also get "Dr. Who" on my PBS station. Late Saturday night.
Back in high school, the same station used to show an episode every afternoon. That was pretty cool. Got home from school and caught an episode before dinner.

Syndication is pretty much nationalized now. I doubt you will see the variety of reruns that you saw on smaller local stations ten years ago.
The question is, who doesn't have at least a half dozen episodes of Friends, Drew Carey, Seinfeld, etc etc on per
night on their local NBC/ABC/Fox/WB/CBS affiliates?
