I just wanted to mention it because it's kinda weird: in the french version of Diff'rent Strokes Willis's name was WILLY and Kimberly was...VIRGINIA

Why? Why indeed.

Also...Not that it matters but i just remembered this so there you go: there's an episode where the family's planning a trip to Paris.In the dubbed french version, they could not make them use a french method to learn basic french sentences since the characters were *already dubbed in french*

So, instead they are going to Italy (not really, i mean, but it's what is dubbed!)...
