Hello. I’m from Germany and Fall Guy is still very popular here. The German title is “Ein Colt für alle Fälle” (A Colt for all cases), a wordplay with his first name being a weapon. The German Pay-TV Network Sky showed this series on some of their channels, but I only was able to record some episodes through a half-illegal IPTV service. I think for seaons 1 and 2 they also just show the “remastered” DVD-masters and only changed the title-card in the intro to the German one, the end credits are in English. For the rest of the series they show the original old German TV-Masters, transfered in the best possible quality. It even has the individual German localised end-credits for each episode.
Originally the Channel ZDF made and broadcasted the German dub in the 80s and they had a copiright-text at the very end of each end-credits, with the ZDF Logo. The general dubbing informations are still there, but the copright info part with the ZDF Logo from the end is removed in the Sky version, which I think was already edited by RTL in the 90s.
The Free-TV channel Nitro, that belongs to RTL, also shows that series in the same version as Sky, but with commercial breaks and without the end-credits. On Sky there are no breaks within an episode, only between the episodes, and as I said, it has the full end-credits, exept that one little change at the end.
As I said, unfortunately I only could record some episodes from Sky and they don’t show it at the moment. But at the moment Nitro shows it again and I try to record it from there. Today, at Saturday April 12th 2025, I record S01E04, S01E05 and S01E06, unfortunately I missed the first 3 last week. Tomorrow on Sunday they show the next three episodes.
The problem is, they show it very early in the morning, so I’m still sleeping. On real TV I just can record it in SD, because the HD version of the channel is protected and no IPTV service has an automatic timer record function, becuse it would be usless, because the signla is unstable and can stop anytime, so you have to restart it mannually. Also the quality can change.
To record it from real TV in original HDTV quality, you need a special illegal ci-module and smart-card, that eliminates the protection.
Here you can check all German TV dates yourself, maybe someone can help me recording the complete series:
