American shows that are bigger outside USA

Interesting. Maybe that's why Drake went to live in Mexico and tried to integrate there when he had irl issues. Go where you're wanted I guess.

Not an American show, but they also love Dragon Ball down there.

LA USURPADORA 💅💅💅

Ive been told that tv sitcoms are the best way to learn a language when you don't have natural speakers around

Same period in Poland. Natalia Oreiro from Cambio Dolor was mine and many of my friends first tv crush.

Is it dubbed into BP? Half of what made EHC great was Chris Rock's narration. Is the dub just as good?

Didn’t they turn against one of the actors? The one in Abbott Elementary. For complaining he was receiving too much attention from them?

I’ve been showing it to my 10 year old over the last few months. He’s like obsessed with it. I remember loving it when I was younger but had forgotten just how good it was.

The new "season" was surprisingly good, I hope they make more.

Yeah this a bit mind blowing to be honest. Have always liked Top Cat as a kid and remember my late mother always yelling any of our cats on the rare occasion they went digging in the trash ("Knock that off, I didn't raise you to eat out garbage like you're Top Cat!")

Oh wow, so like the *Ghost Stories* English dub.

That's what happened with crayon shin chan. The American version is a really weird blue comedy when all the kids are in primary school or less. The Indian version im sure has made up stories using the animation from the original by dubbing and changing the meaning of things

Yeah, a lot of those early Hanna-Barbera cartoons had surprisingly few episodes. Jonny Quest had only one season with 26 episodes. The Jetsons also only had one season with 24 episodes, but it then got two more seasons in the 80s with 51 further episodes. Space Ghost had one season with only 20 episodes. And Yogi Bear, two seasons with 33 episodes. A lot of these show had multiple segments per episode, so it felt like they had more episodes, but not really.

I remember still watching it when I was a kid over 20 years ago, didn't realise it was only one season lol

So much so that around Manchester some people still refer to the police as 'Dibble'

Technically the Office is a show that did bigger outside of its original country (UK). I personally enjoyed the Office during the first watch through, but I have found it hard to rewatch. I recently rewatched Malcom in the Middle, and I enjoyed every episode (except the Burning Man), it's a series that I'll rewatch eventually. I'm glad to hear that it has a bigger following outside of the USA, that might be part of why they did the mini-series on Hulu.

Yeah man, what the f***. It's mad hearing Top Cat described as an "obscure" Hannah Barbara cartoon.

Exactly what I thought lol

That’s amazing! Right next to Cloud Nine shopping center. What’s your tat of? Prison Break right?

>The series follows the lives of the residents of the small town of Rome, Wisconsin, where weird things happen, including cows' udders exploding and people turning up dead in freezers. The show dealt with unusual topics for the primetime television of the period, such as abortion, incest, homophobia and LGBT adoption, transsexuality, racism, belief in God, ethics in medicine, polygamy, polyamory, adolescent sexuality, date r***, cryonics, the Holocaust, shoe fetishism, masturbation, animal sacrifice, spontaneous human combustion, and constitutional rights. Illustrative of the subject matter is that the regular cast included a judge, two lawyers, and a medical examiner. Religious issues were frequently discussed, and the town's Catholic and Episcopal priests were frequently recurring characters, as well as lawyer Douglas Wambaugh's relationships in his local Jewish temple. Dafaq?? Edit: The blurb is 126 words, 34 which is are links to other topics on Wikipedia, all stated in four sentences.

Tutenshtein you mean?

Pretty sure, but that's also the case for most shows

Must be from Utah or something because Black people love that show

Yes, there was a Russian version of MwC, but I think the dad was a cable guy instead of a shoe salesman, otherwise it was identical and they even made the set (their house) look the same.

Germans love David Hasselhoff.

Understanding English actually gets in the way of enjoying Baywatch

Quaid Army!

the cracked article listed in this chain has a good leed to pull you in, but could've totally used this insight to write an actually good article/essay. I've always been curious how the 'rules' of the magical girl genre got established so quickly

For my money, I’d take Beakman over Bill Nye any day of the week. The rat guy was hilarious.

Lupin referneces are mostly because of Lupin the third and Nikita has a bit of cult status but I certainly wouldnt say 'often' that is massive exaggeration, in fact assasin tropes like it already existed before in late 70s anime.

I was a fan of the American Counterpart, Rapid Dave

Watch out! He’s packing a gun!

I feel like woody woodpecker was pretty popular in the UK at a certain point in time

It was syndicated in many markets.

Yeah it was a solid show. I was a big fan of it, and recognize Tino's VA in so many games

For real! I love that show. IIRC it’s was one of the very few cartoon shows where the characters changed outfits from episode to episode.

> Honestly I don’t understand Mickey’s appeal - he is a perfect(ly boring) role model without character, it seems. This was actually somewhat on purpose. In Mickey's early cartoons, he was far more of an agent of chaos and mischief. However, as he became more and more famous and became the mascot of the company, they smoothed his edges until he was more of a generic heroic character that as you say is more of a role model but who is kind of boring, a "straight man" to the more chaotic characters like Donald.
