The Rerun Show was a short-lived sketch comedy TV series that aired on NBC from August 1, 2002 until August 20, 2002. VH1 also aired the show Friday nights at 11:30 P.M. The show spoofed many popular classic situation comedy shows, many of which found renewed popularity in syndication. Such shows included The Jeffersons, The Facts of Life, Married...with Children, Saved by the Bell, Diff'rent Strokes, Bewitched, The Partridge Family and One Day at a Time. The show was cancelled because of low ratings.

The Rerun Show may be critically known for twisting the original episodes in popular television shows. Sagging ratings caused the show not to be renewed for the 2002-2003 season, and the series concluded after only six episodes. However, Daniele Gaither and Paul Vogt would later join the cast of MADtv.

For most of the series' six episodes, the sketch comedy was divided into two segments that were approximately 17 minutes each^{[citation needed]}. Each segment would spoof one particular sitcom.
