The Fox affiliate in Nashville, Fox 17, started airing "The Bernie Mac Show" in syndication this week. Are there any other sitcoms that starting being syndicated this season besides Bernie Mac's? Also, how long does a show usually have to air before going into syndication? I had always heard at it was least four seasons before they went into syndication?

Also new this year are My Wife and Kids, South Park and Sex and the City, speaking only for weeknight reruns.
The rule of thumb is generally four seasons (which translates into slightly less than 100 episodes), although there are some exceptions.

My Wife And Kids began airing in syndication last Monday. Sex In The City and South Park will be airing five times a week this upcoming Monday (Sept. 19), and despite Alias, 24 will be doing reruns on the weekends too.<P ID="signature">______________

Not that I'm interested in the show, My Wife and Kids is not on in Hartford yet. But if I did want to watch it I still can because in NYC it airs on WB11 and WB11 is on my cable system.
Reruns of Grounded For Life will be airing on the ABC Family Channel starting Monday, I believe. Or is it the Monday, after that? I forget and yet I saw the promo about 3 hours ago.

Tribune owns WPIX-TV. Maybe the show will air here in greter Hartford on either Tribune-owned WTIC-TV (FOX) channel 61 or WTXX-TV (WB) channel 20? On a related subject, does WPIX-TV get ripped apart by SYNDEX (syndicated exclusivity) on your cable system? Comcast of New Britain and Hartford only carries PBS from Springfield, MA for out-of-market stations these days.

Nothing is blacked out on WPIX. Up until June we also got WNBC. Nothing was blacked out there either. And I rememer from being at my uncle's house about 10 years ago they carried WWOR, WNYW, WSBK, and WCBS. None of those were blacked out either. It was the real WWOR UPN 9, not the "WWOR EMI Service".
