I think some of this might be what you're looking at. Surprisingly, even after 16 years, The King of Queens still has an active Twitter account.

Beyond that, it helps that two of the series you mention are extremely popular, with the last one being especially popular in this circle. You can look at some other NBC series, such as Good Girls having zero promotion after the series, to even popular series like The Good Place being reduced to a marketing engine for other NBC/Universal proprieties.

I get the impression that The King of Queens is heavily run in syndication even to this day. That's probably why they keep updating their Twitter page. Our local station has been showing the reruns since 2005 or so, when the show was still airing new episodes on CBS. It apparently has been run a lot in New York too, since the New York Times described it as "a campaign of rerun-saturation so thorough that you might begin to suspect a state sponsor."

EDIT: Wikipedia reminded me that it used to run on TBS too, from 2006 until 2019.
