Military drama’s long run was spread over 2 networks
- Share via
When “JAG” signs off tonight, the show will be the longest-running military drama in TV history (which is not as impressive as it sounds when you consider how few long-running military dramas there have been).
However, “JAG” is also a member of an elite TV club: shows that aired on two different networks.
“JAG” aired for one season on NBC (1995-96) and then moved to CBS, where it became a solid performer for nine seasons.
Here are five other members of the two-network club:
* “Get Smart” (NBC, 1965-69; CBS, 1969-70).
* “Taxi” (ABC, 1978-82; NBC, 1982-83).
* “Matlock” (NBC, 1986-92; ABC, 1993-95).
* “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer” (WB, 1997-2001; UPN, 2001-03).
* “Grounded for Life” (Fox, 2001-02; WB, 2003-04).
