ChadTower:

The odd part about showing in 100 countries is that it doesn't seem to have been shown in either of the two I've lived in.  Was it in German?

The one I saw was in German with subtitles, but apparently it was translated too:


--- Quote ---A cult hit, Derrick was translated into 12 languages and had fans as far away as Australia, China, Japan, South America, Iran and South Africa, making Tappert one of the most widely recognized German actors in the world. The series also was popular in Italy and other European countries.

From: Horst Tappert, 85, was Germany's Inspector Derrick

Pinballjim, there you go showing your redneck "if it ain't American it's not of this planet" side again.

Just because Horst Tappert is not American, doesn't mean that he's not just as famous in Europe as any Hollywood  actor, if not more famous. I grew up with series like Derrick, Tatort and der Alte. I even download the old series because my wife loves them.

You should try to watch a few episodes some time.

I have the same reaction with American football guys, wrestlers or that red haired Las Vegas "comedian" on steroids. There are threads about those people though.
