After all, TV Land shows more sitcoms than, say, Comedy Central. [/quote]
Sounds nice, but I doubt it. Nick at Nite and TV Land are pulling towards more recent shows(i.e. those 10-20 years old) it seems to me. [/quote]
Make Me Laugh was last seen on USA in 1987, so in that sense it would fit in that bracket. But still, I'd be hard pressed to think of a show more representative of the late 70's era than MML, so....

Basically, COM's research, as I understand it, has shown that their audience just doesn't care for most run-of-the-mill sitcoms. Even if they chose to go for them, they wouldn't watch it, although they might watch a "SportsNight" or an original like "Strangers With Candy" or "Reno 911!"
And of course, there is support for animated sitcoms like "South Park" from COM audiences.

True, for many of the same reasons with MML. Disco theme, disco-y set.....[not that there's anything wrong with that, just saying]
