Since the show didn't last 100 episodes,


does that mean that it can't go into syndication?

reply

Well the requirement is typically 4 full seasons (or 88 episodes), so Revenge's 89 is good.

reply

Revenge is not the type of show to do well in syndication.

As a serialized drama you can't just watch a random episode and really understand what's going on.

It's the reason why you don't see reruns of "24"

reply

No I agree, I'm just saying it has enough episodes. Though I do think ABC Family or Lifetime would be a good place to air it.

reply

I actually have seen syndicated reruns of 24.

Yeah, I don't see syndication happening. If Soapnet was still a thing, they might have picked it up. Lifetime might, as they also used to run Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives, but I don't think they do anymore.

I could see Lifetime playing it for some time.

Pop is basically the new Soapnet and they air all the daytime soaps every weeknight. The problem is that I don't get that channel but they are starting to build their brand and viewership is slowly getting better so maybe everyone will get it soon. Pop is the most likely network that would want to air reruns of Revenge and since they've got all the daytime soaps they may branch out and snag some primetime soaps like Revenge.

I think the only reason it got a fourth season was so they would have enough episodes for syndication. Extra money for the network.

reply

If that's a rule, it must only apply to network television. It can still air in syndication on basic cable. I've seen series that didn't last as long as Revenge, like Dark Angel and Greed in that manner.

Well syndication and also Netflix, I think has a rule about more money for a show every four seasons or something like that.

It's enough for syndication.
