Actually started on Showtime with repeats a season behind in syndication so I'm not sure it really qualifies.

The Three Stooges were in syndication but it's not a syndicated show.

The only program I recall watching in my youth that really wasn't that bad was Police Academy: The Series. I wish that was on DVD. It used to be on that AOL TV thing but I think that's dead.

THE MUPPET SHOW
TALES OF THE VIKINGS
ROCKY AND HIS FRIENDS (started in syndication)
FRACTURED FLICKERS
HUCKLEBERRY HOUND
IVANHOE (with Roger Moore)

I like the Stooges, but I wouldn't consider them a syndicated show because they weren't made for TV and they weren't packaged as a show. They were a series of shorts that stations packaged differently in different areas, the local station had to build a show around them.

I thought Rocky and Friends debuted on ABC then I think later it switched to NBC-could be wrong.

If the Three Stooges and Stargate CG-1 don't count-I will replace them with WWF Wrestling(w/McMahon & Sammartino)from the mid-80s along with Monsters.

The one and only Baywatch for me too, the Ion network was showing reruns recently , but dropped them. I still wish the whole series would get a decent release on dvd with all its music entact, and the missing episodes included.

Baywatch goes without saying. Then you had Acapulco Heat, and Thunder in Paradise. Thos three were always good for some T and A.

Re: Whats your top ten syndicated tv shows of all-time?

Mama's Family and Too Close For Comfort were two favorite shows growing up. So was the Great Space Coaster!

Star Trek the Next Generation, naturally...perhaps the best syndicated show in its time. And Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

Hercules.

There was a NEW WKRP IN CINCINATTI, made for the syndication market that lasted two seasons. But I don't think anyone would consider it up to the original or one of the best of all time.

So this one mostly qualifies.
