When was the first rerun

These were the years where televisions were popping into households all over America and studios were still figuring out how to make it a success. Ball agreed to do her show—so long as Arnaz was cast as her husband.

It was an opportunity to bring them together, save their marriage, and work as a duo. And for a while, all three of those things found success. At least, that is, after the formation of Desilu Productions.

They also refused to leave Los Angeles and move to New York, where almost all television shows of the time were shot.

As it was, with New York in the Eastern time zone, shows were shot and broadcast live on the east coast where there were more TV owners and recorded on kinescopes for broadcast later in the west. Kinescopes were a terrible method of literally pointing a camera at a television as it played something, resulting in a shoddy, blurry picture.

Some viewers find reruns annoying, although many viewers appreciate the opportunity to re-watch a program they enjoyed or watch one they missed the first time round. There are two types of reruns, those that occur during a hiatus, and those that occur when a program is syndicated.

In the United States, most television shows from the late s and early s were performed live, and in many cases they were never recorded. However, television networks in the United States began making kinescope recordings of shows broadcast live from the east coast. This allowed the show to be broadcast a few hours later for the West Coast. These kinoscopes along with pre-filmed shows and later videotape paved the way for extensive reruns of syndicated television series.

In the United States, currently running shows will rerun older episodes from the same season in order to fill the timeslot with the same program.

This is often done for headliner shows because the length of the year 52 weeks is far more than the length of a pick-up 13 weeks or a full season around 24 weeks. Shows will tend to start re-running episodes around November and show only reruns from mid-December until Sweeps Week in February where a show will return to new episodes in order to spike their ratings. This winter phase is often used to trial new shows in order to see if they deserve a episode run.

Headliners will return from February Sweeps until May Sweeps, with only limited reruns used. These are more frequently referred to as repeats, with reruns the term more commonly used for syndicated programs.

A television program goes into syndication when many episodes of the program are sold as a package for a large sum of money. Generally the buyer is either a cable company or a host of local television stations. Or, beginning in The New '10s , a streaming service such as Netflix or Hulu.
