Talk:First-run syndication in the United States, 2000s

Parental ratings
Why do some of the shows have TV ratings next to them (like TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14)? Certainly I would expect that some of these series have ratings that vary from episode to episode, particularly the talk shows which might deal with a more adult subject on one day and a more family-friendly subject on another day. I don't think these ratings should be listed here at all. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:34, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

Women of Wrestling
Someone using various anonymous IPs keeps removing this wikilink without explanation. Women of Wrestling is both a wrestling promotion and the title of its syndicated TV show. In the absence of a separate article about the TV show (which is still a show about the exact same organization), there is nothing wrong in my mind (or in what I can see at MOS:L) with linking it here. — stickguy (:^›)— &#124;&#124; talk &#124;&#124; 02:43, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Not First Run Syndication
This article confuses FIRST RUN syndication with OFF NET syndication.

For example, virtually all the shows in scripted are not First Run but Off Net. They were produced for US broadcast network and appeared there first. Syndication was secondary to the network premiere.

Some shows (Heartland (2010) and Murdoch Mysteries (2014)) were produced for other networks outside the US and so could be considered First Run in the US. 205.220.128.101 (talk) 17:57, 2 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Both good points. I have removed series whose episodes aired on American networks before being syndicated.—Quick and Dirty User Account (talk) 08:34, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Seems like someone re-added several scripted series that are simply 'in syndication' instead of first run syndication shows. I excised the incorrect shows again and left the two that made sense, they were non-US productions originally.  It should be fairly obvious when the wikipedia page for each of those shows lists a first run broadcast partner. Deathstrike9k (talk) 04:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
