Broadcasting of the series by television stations outside of the U.S. did not start until 1990, three years after its debut. This is because Paramount Pictures had signed exclusive broadcast rights with premium television stations such as the SKY satellite network in Europe, plus the series was also selling well through domestic VHS rentals (each tape contained two episodes). Even when television networks started broadcasting the first season starting in the fall of 1990, the show was expensive to acquire the rights to, for example, when BBC2 started broadcasting it, each episode allegedly cost the BBC one hundred thousand pounds sterling to broadcast (approximately one tenth of each episode's production budget).
