It takes three (33-39 episodes), four (25 episodes), or five (22 episodes) seasons to reach television’s important 100 episode list for strip sales.

Exceptions were made for Star Trek (~80 episodes) and "The Honeymooners" (39 Episodes). They were shown daily, at least in the NYC market.

Star Trek was made in an era before Prime Time Access, where 80 could still be worth it as a weekly series. The move from weekly to daily syndication strips came with technology. Stations “bicycled” tapes in the early era of PTAH syndication.
