Here is my theory on why they pull shows that are great!


See what I do not understand is while the show is still on its main network you will see like Full House, Home Improvement, or any other show that you can think of was starting to be shown in reruns. See when a show is popular and loved by everyone they will have it in reruns and when they have a show like Empty Nest, Growing Pains, or any other show that was popular ratings wise when it was on, and then wait like 5 or more years to put it on a network to show in reruns those that loved watching the show will watch it but todays generation just does not attach itself to the show or like it as much.

It is very frustrating because if you look at the number of years that Empty Nest was on it lasted for quite sometime on NBC. That is why I am surprised that it still does not have a large following. The problem is that a lot of these networks want to cater to the younger generation and put what they like on instead and could care about us real fans that love the show. What does everyone else think?
