Where To Watch
Did these classic TV shows ever switch networks?
You could say it's the most dramatic way to change channels.
As modern viewers experience a rare moment today when their favorite shows are switching networks, folks who've been watching TV for decades have long since been there and done that.
It was much more common in the '60s, '70s and even the '80s for TV shows to swap networks.
Think you can guess or remember which classic shows did the channel changing for you in the past?
Take this quiz and see if you can figure out which shows you saw make a big move to another network while it was still in primetime. Good luck!
