Or, at least in the U. S., "summer reruns". The show would still be parked in the same time slot, but since production didn't run year-round, episodes from the last season would be rerun over the summer before the fall T. V. season started.

But that was the last chance before you had to wait 25 years for the Dukes of Hazzard DVD box set.

You skipped right over syndication, which is what every series was aiming for (and Dukes of Hazzard definitely attained.)
