I haven't watched Channel 38 since they cancelled Small Wonder.

You've got me beat, though the last time I watched WADL was maybe 2001, when they had "Passions" from NBC and reruns of another NBC show "Dear John." In those days, it was possible to get WADL's analog signal almost to Toledo with a good antenna, especially at night when "Dear John" was on.

Dear John was a pleasure of a show. I’m surprised more early 90s sitcoms haven’t caught on elsewhere.

I think they still play the reruns on AntennaTV

Some quick research uncovered for me that indeed Nexstar's diginets carry the Dear John reruns. AntennaTV (WDIV 20-2 RF32 in the Detroit market; WXMI 17-2 RF17 in West Michigan, and others) has 4 episodes early Monday mornings weekly starting at 4am. They seem to be listed as the same 4 episodes that RewindTV (not available OTA in Detroit; WOOD 8-2 RF7 in West Michigan) broadcasts on Sunday afternoons 8 days prior starting at 3pm.

Thus far my wife hasn't scheduled it in our DVR, but maybe that'll happen eventually.

Neither ReelGood nor JustWatch note there being any streaming sources currently offering any episodes.

Cheers!

Thanks for the update. I remembered watching it on Antenna TV a few years ago but didn't realize those episodes were still there. I found a few episodes of "Dear John" on Youtube, including the series finale.
