Reruns of one network show airing on another network

NBC ran reruns of ABC's Full House in the Summer of 1991. ABC ran reruns of H R Pufstuff September 1972-73 Satruday Mornings and from 1973-74 Sunday Mornings. HR Pufnstuff originally ran on NBC 1969-1971. Speed Buggy ran on all 3 networks. CBS first till 1975; NBC from Nov 76 to August 77; and ABC in the early 80's.
 
"Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures" first ran on CBS, with the voices of Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter and George Carlin from the movie cast, in episodes produced at Hanna-Barbera. A year or so later, the show moved to Fox, but with new episodes made by DIC with a different voice cast. (Fox also repeated the CBS episodes. They would also run a live action Bill & Ted series.)
 
The Rockford Files, Quincy, Police Story - first run NBC, reruns CBS Late Movie
The Night Stalker, Harry-O - first run ABC, reruns CBS Late Movie
 
Peanuts specials - Originally on CBS, now on ABC (Not counting the new one that was shown on Fox)

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - Originally on NBC, now on CBS
 
How the Grinch Stole Christmas: originally on CBS, now on ABC.

A Chipmunk Christmas: originally on NBC, now on ABC.

Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special: on NBC in 2010; on ABC in 2011.

'Speed Buggy' aired on ABC in early 1976, before moving to NBC, as noted. The early 80s run was on CBS(1982-83).
 
Come to think of it, Police Story may have been on ABC Late Night in the 70's, as well as the CBS Late Movie by the early 80's.

I thought reruns of "Police Story" ran late-nights on ABC, not CBS?

Brooks and Marsh does not show 'Police Story' on 'ABC Late Night' in the 70s and 80s. However, there was a brief revival of it on that network on Saturday nights(prime time) in 1988, as part of a short-lived attempt to update the 'Mystery Movie' concept(also featuring the return of 'Columbo', and short-lived shows with Burt Reynolds and Louis Gossett; only Columbo had staying power, as ABC aired the lieutenant intermittently up to the early 2000s.)
 
Looks like Police Story was on ABC late night in 1978:

See 0:33 and 1:13:

Can't say I remember this particular opening, though.

I have an audiotape recoding of a CBS Late Movie opening mentioning PS, so I'm 100% sure it was on there circa 1983.

My bad-I meant to say 'Police Story wasn't on CBS' instead of ABC for the 70s-80s late night reruns.

Appearances on cable networks are beyond the scope of this thread -- we're talking terrestrial networks, as in the Big 4, plus the netlets.

Thanks for clarifying that netlets count.
Moonlight (starring Alex O'Laughlin of Hawaii Five-O fame) aired on CBS in 2007-2008. Then it aired in reruns on The CW in the Summer of 2010 (as a summer replacement for The Vampire Diaries.)
 
I didn't think about it at first, but it's probably right that cable networks shouldn't count since some shows are on several networks.

But since netlets count, here's another: Jericho - originally on CBS, then repeated on the CW.

I think "Wolf Lake" took a similar route.
