Wow, I don't think I've seen any of those shows in syndication.
I saw a couple episodes of The Time Tunnel edited into a "movie"
on TV around 1980.  Also a few episodes of "Stingray" (in Super-
Marionation!) also edited into movies around 1990.  You must
have lived in a much more short-run tolerant syndication market
than I did.
