I could go crazy watching one of them because the dubbing is SO bad! You can completely tell that adults are playing the roles of children (as in cartoons), and they all sound contrived and artificial. If you were lucky, you can find a show that allows different languages, which then you can switch it back to the original langauge (All shows except live ones are subtitled in Chinese).<P>------------------<BR>"I have come to the conclusion that one man is called a disgrace, that two are called a law firm, and that three on the law become a congress!

I wonder if Americans are aware that their every day language is so much different from what is taught at school and written in books. No offense, but most Americans have a lazy and mumbling pronounciation, as if they wouldn't want to be understood, most actors included. That's the way it is, and I don't postulate that they try to speak more in a more pronounced way, just to be better understood in foreign countries. This is what dubbing is really necessary for, otherwise I wouldn't always get the point and miss many of the jokes, and I guess this applies to about 95% of the people in Germany. Maybe the people in the Netherlands have more English language practice.<p>Star Trek, however, is the bright exception. It is possible to understand every word without rewinding the tape. This might be due to the fact technobabble is universal, but mostly it's the clear pronounciation. I like the original version much more, and I'm always disappointed when I watch the dubbed episode about a year later.<P>------------------<BR>Early bird catches the gagh.
