===International=== * In the United Kingdom, the series aired on [[BBC One]], debuting on Saturday March 3, 1979 at 9:00 p.m. (just several months after it began in the U.S.). Popular with all ages (and as some of the more adult elements of very early episodes faded out of the series), it quickly moved from its post-[[Watershed (broadcasting)#United Kingdom|watershed]] position to a more family-friendly Monday evening slot at 7:20 p.m. Soon a massive hit, it moved from Monday evenings to prime-time Saturday evening (times varied, but typically around 5:25 p.m.), where it stayed for a number of years. Later when ratings began to dip (partly caused by the change to Coy and Vance, and partly to do with competition from [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]], with new hit shows such as ''[[The A-Team]]''), it moved back to Mondays, making the odd return for short runs on Saturdays. Late episodes also popped up occasionally on Sunday afternoons, and the remaining episodes of the final season were broadcast on weekday mornings during school holidays in the late 1980s. In 1992, [[Sky1]] bought a package of the program, owning the rights to the first 60 episodes produced (running up to "The Fugitive"), showing the series on Saturday afternoons at 4 p.m. They later showed the episodes they owned again, including a stint showing it in a weekday 3 p.m. slot, running for 50 minutes (including commercials) with the episodes heavily edited for time as a result, often leaving gaps in the plot. Despite requests from fans, they did not secure the rights to later episodes. The series was later run on the satellite channels [[Plus (British TV channel)|Granada Plus]] and [[TNT (American TV network)|TNT]]. U.K. satellite channel [[Bravo (British TV channel)|Bravo]] began airing reruns in August 2005. Reruns are currently shown on [[Forces TV]]. * In Brazil, the series was named ''Os Gatões'' (''The Big Hunks''), which limited its popularity among the male audience. * The series was also shown in the Netherlands by Dutch broadcasting organization [[Algemene Vereniging Radio Omroep|AVRO]], with Dutch subtitles, rather than being dubbed. * It was shown on [[Ten Network]] in Australia from September 1979 until the end of the series, and repeated throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. It was quietly rerun on [[Pay television|pay TV]] channel [[TV1 (Australia)|TV1]] in the 2000s, but is now shown on Nine Network's subchannel, [[9Go!|Go!]]. * The series aired weekdays on New Zealand's channel [[Sky 5|The BOX]]. Previously it aired on [[TVNZ]] for its original run, being repeated on Saturday afternoons in the early 1990s. In May 1984, a doctor and member of the [[Auckland District Health Board|Auckland Health Board]] called for the programme to be taken off-air for promoting reckless driving; the production of the story for the ''[[1News|Network News]]'' was featured in the 1985 documentary ''Network New Zealand''.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=1985|title=Network New Zealand|url=https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/network-new-zealand-1985|access-date=2021-10-11|website=[[NZ On Screen]]}}</ref> * The series was popular in [[Colombia]], dubbed into Spanish. Some late-night reruns continue to the present day.{{citation needed|date=May 2019}} * In Italy, the series started to air in September 1981 on [[Canale 5]], under the title ''Hazzard'' and quickly became popular with the viewers.
