Among the station groups that have signed up for reruns are Tribune, Weigel, and interestingly enough, CBS. The show, of course, airs on ABC.

Are there enough episodes to make a successful syndication run?

I like the show but feel it has a short shelf life. The kids are already too old for their parts
(the girl who plays Sue is actually 20!), so I don't expect too many more episodes to be going
in the can.

If you check the history of television, it's pretty typical for 20-something actors to play teenagers. The point is to LOOK like a teenager, and be able to act like one. And there are a lot fewer intrusive labor law rules the producers have to follow if their actors are over 18.

I'd say both of the older kids in the show can do the job for a couple of years yet, and the actor who plays "Brick" is very small for his age - I think he's really 15, and have actually wondered if he has some medical condition that is limiting his growth, along the lines of Gary Coleman (?). So there will be no problem with him either.
