You mean like the Star Trek franchise, going from syndicated TNG to
network DS9 and Voyager? OK, granted that they had a 30 year running
start, but it shows that it can - and has - happened. Nonetheless, I
can see where the resistance would be considerable.

You're comparing apples and oranges.  It isn't a case of selling ST to an
existing network, they piggybacked the *creation* of a new network on a program
which was solid in syndication.  Different creatures.
