The Rerun Show is an American sketch comedy television series that aired on NBC from August 1, 2002 until August 20, 2002. VH1 also aired the show on Fridays at 11:30 P.M. The series was created by John Davies and David Salzman.

Synopsis

The show spoofed many popular classics including The Jeffersons, The Facts of Life, Married... with Children, What's Happening!!, Saved by the Bell, Diff'rent Strokes, Bewitched, The Partridge Family, and One Day at a Time. Each episode consisted of two sitcom parodies poking fun at the actors who originally played the roles while twisting the original episodes' subtext.[1] On some episodes, the original actors would make appearances (i.e. Gary Coleman in a Diff'rent Strokes parody).

The series started with strong ratings, debuting in the Top 10.[2] However, ratings soon dropped off and NBC canceled the series after seven episodes. Cast members Paul Vogt and Daniele Gaither would later join the cast of MADtv, with Vogt joining the cast in season 8 shortly after Rerun's cancellation and Gaither joining the cast the following season.
