What ever happened too......

BJ and the Bear-Has this show ever been in syndication.
Chips- Disapeared from a very long run on TBS
My Sister Sam
Mork and Mindy-Both Pam Dawber
21 Jump street
Greatest American Hero
Wonder Woman
These shows would be great if a cable network like TV Land would pick them up.
Almost Forgot The Honeymooners
 
I have heard that one reason why My Sister Sam wasn't seen very much in syndication was due to the murder
of the young actress who was in that show, Rebecca Schaeffer. I think USA showed reruns of this back in the 90s, but they didn't last long.

Mork & Mindy and 21 Jump Street are seen in sydication in a few places. Dittos at one time with BJ & The Bear but not so sure today but that show.

Greatest American Hero I have never seen in syndication even though I have heard the theme song that was big hit back in 1981 still being played on the radio every once in awhile.

I believe there was only one season of episodes finished when Schaeffer was killed, so not much of a package to offer in syndication. USA ran is for a number of years, though, like they did with a lot of short-season comedies.

WOR carried Greatest American Hero in reruns during the mid 80's on weekends and sometimes on weekdays. It has appeared on several local stations as well. I am surprised that the SCI-FI Channel didn't grab the reruns of the show during the mid 90's when they were showing reruns of shows like Wonder Woman, Six Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman, Lost In Space, Land Of The Giants, Time Tunnel, The Invaders, The Magician, etc.
 
Greatest American Hero was on WGN for a whle. Not sure if it was a superstatio yet - but I'm sure it was on there.
