'Get a Life' in the world

In which countries (other than USA) has this series been aired?

I can say just one: SPAIN. Never seen any other translation or dubbing.

The series (as 'Búscate la vida') was aired in Spain by Canal+ in 1992 summer. It was a premium pay channel, but GAL was aired unscrambled (free). It was reissued at least another time in 1993. After that, it has never been reissued anymore, leaving a large community of fans that keep sharing the series in form of home videotape recordings. It has the category of Cult Series.

Chris Peterson was dubbed by Alberto Mieza, who did a great job recreating his voice in Spanish.

As in USA, we’re looking forward to a proper full DVD release or, at least, a DVBt reissue.

I can add Denmark to the list.

AFAIK it hasn't been aired on national TV in Denmark, but I saw it on a local TV-station called Kanal 2 at the time. Don't remember when, but probably around '92 as well.

The danish title was "Verdens Ældste Teenager" (The Worlds Oldest Teenager), with danish subtitles and original voices (never understood so many countries insist on dubbing everything).
