SHOWS THAT HAVE BEEN ON ALL 3 NETWORKS

Here's a Jeopardy question for you guys (from another post). I just realized that
LET'S MAKE A DEAL has been on all 3 networks. Are there any others that have
jumped ship twice?
 
The Price is Right, Family Feud, and Password have also been on all three networks. (In the case of Password, has been on CBS twice, NBC twice, and ABC once, while Family Feud qualifies because of the all-star specials that ran on NBC in the summer of 2008.) Some of the early TV Shows (1940s/1950s) have likely spent some time on all three networks (not counting Dumont, but may count if it was on all four).
 
...do we include the late-night reruns on CBS and ABC in this one? ;D ...

...off the top of my head, I can think most immediately of The Monkees (including the post-1968 Saturday morning reruns on ABC and CBS that included new material) and Make Room for Daddy/The Danny Thomas Show (including the weekday reruns on NBC)...

Or four, if you count "The Big Deal" on Fox. NBC carried LMAD three times: 1963-1968 (before moving to ABC); 1990-1991 (the daytime version initially hosted by Bob Hilton) and 2003 (the short lived version hosted by Billy Bush).

We should also add "Match Game" to the list, as it was seen on NBC (1963-1969), CBS (1973-1979) and ABC (1990).
 
Bachelor Father

CBS 1957-1959 Sunday 7:30/6:30
NBC 1959-1961 Thursday 9:00/8:00
ABC 1961-1962 Tuesday 8:00/7:00

Currently rerun on RTV (but they don't count). Surprisingly, it appears
RTV runs the complete series, unlike some shows where they air the
same five episodes over and over again. Kind of like Brown Eyed Girl
on an oldies/classic hits station. ;D
 
Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour ran on four networks: Dumont (1948-52), NBC (1953-54 & 1957-58), ABC (1955-57, 1960), and CBS (1959, 1960-70).

Pre-merger NFL/NFC football games have been carried on three networks: Dumont (1952-55), CBS (1955-93), and Fox (1994-present). AFL/AFC games have also been on three networks: ABC (1960-64), NBC (1965-97), and CBS (since 1998).

The MLB Saturday game of the week has bounced between ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox over the years. Dumont never aired MLB as far as I know.

And I know there's a photo somewhere of Allen in the Yankees booth with a DuMont ID slate right next to his microphone...
 
Match Game was also on NBC from 1983 to 1984 as part of the Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour.

If you count UPN, WB, CW, MNTV, etc. WWE Smackdown was on UPN, CW, and MNTV on OTA networks, and now on SyFy. Monk, which started on USA, had short runs on ABC as a summer replacement, NBC during the last writers strike, and now in repeats on MNTV. The Twilight Zone was on CBS in the 60's and 80's, UPN in the early 2000's, and MNTV with repeats of the UPN series.
 
Father Knows Best

CBS (1954-55)
NBC (1955-58
CBS (1958-62)
ABC (1962-63)

It should be noted that the final two seasons (1960-61 & 1961-62) and the season on ABC (1962-63) were re-runs of previous season's shows. However, all were shown in primetime.

What about the 1998 Match Game? I seem to recall seeing it on the local FOX station, but not sure if it was a FOX network program, or just syndicated.
 
Four shows aired on ABC, CBS, NBC, and DuMont:

The Original Amateur Hour
The Arthur Murray Party
Pantomime Quiz
Down You Go

"Candid Camera" also aired on three networks;
it started on ABC in 1948, moved to CBS in 1949,
was seen on NBC in 1953, and on CBS again from
1960-67, 1990, and 1998 into the 2000s.
 
The Jetsons, Jonny Quest and Speed Buggy have all aired on the original big three.

Episodes of Motormouse And Autocat have also aired on all three. It aired on ABC from 1969 to 1971 (the first season as a segment of the one-hour Cattanooga Cats, then the following season on its own half-hour show). It aired on NBC in 1978 as a segment of the two-hour Go Go Globetrotters. Finally, it aired on CBS as a segment of the Sunday morning edition of Captain Kangaroo during the 1982-83 and 1983-84 seasons.
 
There was also "Omnibus" and the game show "Play Your Hunch" which ran on all 3.

One of the "golden age" drama series: "The Ford Theater,"
which started on CBS, moved to NBC (until Ford began sponsoring
Tennessee Ernie Ford in the Thursday 9:30 slot), and ended on ABC.
 
Rocky and Bullwinkle was on NBC and ABC at varying times, and for a short run as a Summer replacement on CBS in the late 80's or early 90's.

Oh wow!! CBS aired *one* Rocky & Bullwinkle episode as a special, like you said, early 90s or so....it was a half-hour special with all 4 parts of the story "Last Angry Moose". You win this thread by default!
