The prime reason it is done is that HSB is a very expensive show (large cast, etc.), and because of that reason they do not make as many episodes. Consequently old shows are used as filler (sort of HSB helper ...). Both St. Elsewhere and HSB are MTM productions, which was formerly headed by Grant Tinker (formerly Mr. Mary Tyler Moore), and now head of NBC. I am not sure of any connections beyond those of the production company and producers.
