reruns
Episodes shown again
Reruns are repeat broadcasts of television programs that have aired before.
A show in its first run consists of new episodes; reruns fill the gaps between seasons or replace canceled programming.
The term extends to any repetition of something already experienced: Summer means nothing but reruns can describe both TV schedules and the feeling that nothing new is happening.
