==International broadcasts== * In the United Kingdom, the series premiered on [[BBC One|BBC1]] on 26 April 1980, in a primetime Saturday night slot. Season 2 began a year later on May 8, 1981, now in a Friday night slot. Season 3 did not begin until September 16, 1983, but only the first 13 episodes of the season were shown, at which point the BBC pulled the series from its Friday night slot with no immediate plans of showing any more episodes. The BBC then brought the series back in October 1986, picking up from the middle of season 3 where they last left off, but now it was screened in the afternoon as part of their new daytime line-up. The BBC continued to screen the series in an afternoon slot until the end, though UK audiences tended to be three to four years behind US audiences. The series concluded on the BBC in January 1996. * In Australia, the series premiered on the [[Seven Network]] on February 4, 1981. The series ended on August 2, 1993. * In France, the show was known as ''[[:fr:Côte Ouest (feuilleton télévisé)|Côte Ouest]]'' (translated as West Coast) and was first shown on [[TF1]] in 1988 with a new lyrical theme song (composed by [[Haim Saban]] and [[Shuki Levy]] and sung in French by French male vocalist Claude Vallois). From 2000, the show was rerun from beginning to end on FoxLife, a now defunct satellite channel broadcasting on CanalSat provider. * In Germany, the show was known as ''[[:de:Unter der Sonne Kaliforniens|Unter der Sonne Kaliforniens]]'' (translated as Under the Californian Sun). The show began airing on [[ZDF]] on January 9, 1988. * In the Philippines, the show was formerly aired on [[GMA 7]]. * In Sweden, the show was called ''JRs bror – Gary Ewing'' (JR's brother – Gary Ewing). The series premiered in 1988 on [[TV3 (Sweden)|TV3]]. * In Ireland, the show was not broadcast on terrestrial TV until 1989 (although viewers with access to BBC were able to watch earlier transmissions). [[RTÉ]] first broadcast the series daily in late 1989 as part of its early afternoon schedule. It proved to be popular and was eventually given an early evening timeslot in February 1991 when RTÉ moved the show (after showing the first nine seasons) from a daily afternoon timeslot, to a weekly primetime Thursday night slot on its sister channel Network Two (now [[RTÉ Two]]). All remaining episodes were shown without a break (the end of each season was followed by the first episode of the next season the following week) until Christmas 1993 when the final episode was broadcast followed by the retrospective ''Knots Landing Block Party''. * In Israel, the show aired from 1990 on The Family Channel (later on renamed as Channel 3) on Cable TV on Fridays evenings at 19:00 for the first four seasons. Later on, it aired on Sundays at 21:45 for the season-and-a-half that followed, from February 1992. In November 1992, the show was rerun from the beginning, every weekday evening at 20:45. All 14 seasons had aired by 1994. ''Back To The Cul-De-Sac'' aired as a holiday special in autumn 1997. * In Egypt, the series would start broadcast on Egyptian Channel 2 in the early 1990s and would continue to air for several years along with its contemporary ''[[Falcon Crest]]''. * In Italy, the first season was named ''Da Dallas a Knots Landing'' (translated: ''"From Dallas to Knots Landing"'') though was eventually rebroadcast with the definitive name of ''"California"''. Only nine seasons were aired and 214 episodes, minus the last five episodes of the ninth season, probably dubbed, but not broadcast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.antoniogenna.net/doppiaggio/telefilm/california.htm|title="Il mondo dei doppiatori" di Antonio Genna|date=14 January 2008}}</ref> * In Spain, the series was aired by the regional channels under the FORTA umbrella. The series did not arrive in Spain until at least 1992, and initially was only aired in various regions, normally in a weekday afternoon slot accompanying ''Dallas'' which also arrived late in Spain. Neither series completed their run in Spain and neither have been rescreened there in full or in part. * In Portugal, the series aired daily on [[Sociedade Independente de Comunicação|SIC]] in 1993, in a mid-afternoon timeslot. Unlike other Lorimar soaps, the series was never before broadcast on RTP.<ref>{{cite news |title=Offshoot of "Dallas", Australian and Swedish series start next week |url=https://www.angloportuguesenews.pt/?a=d&d=APN19930121.1.15&srpos=247&e=-------en-20--241-byDA-txt-txIN-SIC------ |work=The Anglo-Portuguese News |date=21 January 1993}}</ref> * In New Zealand, the series aired during much of the 1980s, initially in primetime, but later in the decade once a week during the afternoon on [[TVNZ 1|TV One]], after the daytime soaps ''[[The Young and the Restless]]'' and ''[[Days of Our Lives]]''. * In Finland, the series was aired by a regional channel, Helsinki TV, in mid-1980. * In Trinidad and Tobago, the series aired through most of the 1980s on TTT. * In Venezuela, the series was on Venezolana de Television (the officially run Venezuelan TV Network), and was titled ''Vecinos y Amigos'' (Neighbors and Friends). * In Namibia (originally known as South West Africa), the series was played on [[Namibian Broadcasting Corporation|SWABC]] and was only shown until 1985. * In the United Arab Emirates, the series was shown on its English-language network [[Dubai 33]]. * In Guyana, the series was transmitted on [[Hoyte-Blackman Television|NBTV Channel 9]] and later on [[WRHM (Guyanan TV station)|WRHM Channel 7]].
