[QUOTE="Berandor, post: 150861, member: 225"] Unfortunately, everything in German TV is dubbed - even most original german shows are re-dubbed (excempting talkshows, of course). The same with movies, and the programs lose a lot by it. For example, when in the original version the character has an accent, most of the time that accent is not recreated for German audiences (in "Rush hour", Jackie Chan spoke fluent German). Also, in mediocre dubbings, you tend to lose some puns or other jokes. (I find myself translating the sentences to English in a seemingly funny scene that wasn't funny). That's what caused me to buy DVDs. Of course, there is the rare occasion where the dubbed version actually enhances the experience (like the TV series "die Zwei" with Roger Moore and ... that other guy :) , which was chronically serious and bad in the original version, but got a delicious sarcastic and satirical tone in the dubbing, or like the German version of "Big Trouble in Little China"). berandor [/QUOTE]
