It’s a Living was a sitcom that first aired in 1980, but the show didn’t fair well. It was retooled for a second season, but that didn’t catch on either - so the show was cancelled.
However, all 39 episodes of the episodes went into syndication, where the show finally picked up an audience. As a result, the show was revived in 1985 and ran until 1989. This may be the first show in history to be un-cancelled.

Actually, The Dick Van Dyke Show was cancelled after the first season, but was resurrected. Thank God…that’s probably the greatest sitcom of all time.
