My favorite thing about France (okay, just one of them...as there are many) is all of the dubbed TV shows. A few examples of the gems one can find in spectacularly dubbed French:
-
The Simpsons (Les Simpsons) - Hugely popular with my host brothers, who are 9 and 14.
-
8 Simple Rules (Touche pas à mes filles)
-
Next
-
Baywatch (Alerte à Malibu) - My host mom was curious if everyone is actually beautiful like that in Malibu. I took that moment to explain botox and collagen and plastic surgery.
-
Fresh Prince of BelAire (Le Prince de Bel-Aire)
-
Friends
-
Spin City
-
ER (Urgences)
-
Sister Sister
-
For Your Love (Pour le Meilleur) - Have never seen this in English, but has some girl from 'Hanging with Mister Cooper,' clearly making it a winner.
-
Wheel of Fortune (La Roue de la fortune) - Actually filmed in France, so all of the phrases are French and the Vanna White is this youngish woman with huge boobs.
-
1 vs. 100 (Un Contre 100) - Also filmed here. Don't understand the premise in English, and so it's just that much more fantastic here.
-
Random shows with David Hasselhoff... disturbing
And, of course, there is pretty much every American movie ever...dubbed. Hilarious. I love you, France. I cannot communicate with your inhabitants terribly well, but at least I can watch shows on TV and pretend I know what's going on!
