I believe "The Brady Bunch" and "Leave it to Beaver" were more popular during reruns. "Gidget" also comes to mind, as does "The Jetsons". (it's not a coincidence that all four of those series aired on ABC)

Speaking of ABC, but a different broadcaster named ABC, Australian series "Round the Twist" and "Mother and Son" proved more popular in reruns and were revived because of that......

What are some other series that were more popular during reruns than during their original run?

[I believe I've asked this question before, either on here or on another website]
