The Rifleman was one of the few Western World shows allowed on Soviet television as Leonid Brezhnev, the then-leader of the Soviet Union was a huge fan of the show, and was friends with Connors. Connors wanted to attend Brezhnev's funeral in 1982, but the US government refused the request.

Speaking of which, the first American TV show to be imported to China was The Man from Atlantis, starring Bobby Ewing. It flopped in the US and lasted only one season, but it was phenomenal in China and Patrick Duffy became a star there without him knowing.

Another popular US TV show there was Hunter, starring Fred Dryer, who was still widely recognized there a decade after the show ended.
