* ChannelHop: Began on Creator/{{ABC}} in 1980, but its first season was cut short by a Writers' Guild strike. It was renewed (as ''Making a Living''), but canceled in the middle of Season 2, leaving it with 27 episodes. Still, reruns went into syndication (mainly in once-a-week weekend timeslots) and started getting good ratings. A lot of it was because Ann Jillian had become a sex symbol and gained a lot of publicity via her public battle with breast cancer (resulting in a double mastectomy). As a result, production resumed with Season 3 in first-run syndication in 1985. Jillian left after the season (by design; her main condition in agreeing to come back was that she would only do one season), but it continued for three more years.
