The channel it appears on is often pretty far removed from the actual production company that produced it, and the actual creative team (writers, directors, showrunner, other producers).

Michael Schur learned how to produce a TV show from working on The Office (US) on NBC, and went on to be showrunner for Parks and Rec (NBC), Brooklyn Nine Nine (aired on Fox on most of its run), The Good Place (NBC), and Man on the Inside (Netflix).

Bill Lawrence was showrunner for Spin City (ABC), Scrubs (NBC), Cougar Town (ABC), Ted Lasso (Apple), Shrinking (Apple), and Bad Monkey (Apple).

Dan Harmon was showrunner for Community (NBC), Rick and Morty (Adult Swim), Strange Planet (Apple), and Krapopolis (Fox).

In each of these, you can see the continuity and similarities in production process and style, even if they’re on different channels.

Look to producers: creator, showrunner, certain executive producers with creative roles, casting director (for example, I’ll give anything a chance if it was cast by Allison Jones), with her track record), etc.

The actual network or streaming service it airs on is almost meaningless.
