Go ahead. Keep in mind, we're polling non-US Americans.
Done. Feel free to edit the poll, if you like

I didn't even know there was a TV show. I've seen both the original and the 2000 movie but never that. No reruns I suppose.

The TV show bombed. That's why I'm amazed that, of all things, THAT is what Kugel's heard of

Must've aired before or after Columbo.

I may have seen dr who references here and there and never understood them. It was always the police box or some fag with a scarf acting like people should know who that is.
I never knew about the show until some people said the last season with whatsername turned it into shit. Looked into it a bit, seems like it was always shit even if maybe a b little less than it is now.
It's a trap!

Even at its best it was amateurish cringe that made even the worst of Star Trek look like Citizen Kane.

I'm pretty sure it never aired here. My "knowledge" of it extends to hearing about it at some point being referenced in some video or show.
I have never actually seen the show, nor any of the movies.

I've picked it specifically because it was the most obscure burger show I could think of that still had relevance in the USA.

But it doesn't have relevance in the USA. The show failed and, as Moe Bitches pointed out, most people weren't even aware there was a show.

You'd have been better off saying that Tatort is unknown outside of the Germanosphere, because it is. Nobody knows your German TV shows

That would've been a better example, yeah. But then Dr. Who is more well-known than that.

It's pretty difficult to come up with an example that is both very popular domestically unpopular internationally but still being known enough internationally for people to have heard about it.
For TV shows, at least. Marmite would actually be a solid example outside of media.

Got some info from Wiki:
Wikipedia wrote:Doctor Who is one of the five top-grossing titles for BBC Worldwide, the BBC's commercial arm.
This is much more sensible than what that fanboy said.
Wikipedia wrote:In 1978, Tom Baker's first four seasons as the Doctor were sold to PBS stations across the United States.
OK, so basically if you were an American alive in the 1970s and a huge PBS-watching dork, you might have seen the show.
