New Quebec Classic TV Channel "Prise2" Launched

[Jenya]

Of course all the shows are in French, and I don't have time to list the schedule. So here is the link to the schedule:

And here is the discription of the shows:

Lots of classic dramas like Lost in Space, Star Trek, Kojak, Starsky & Hutch and Fantasy Island. But they also have few classic comedy sitcoms like Addams Family, I Dream of Jeannie and Benny Hill on this channel as well.

If you ever want a laughable French dubbed version of one of those TV shows, just let me know.

When it comes to Québec TV I only watch original movies or shows like Les Bougon 'cause I can't stand dubbing. - You can find the French Starsky & Hutch theme song and lyrics here. I never saw S&H in French...

I know what you mean. I would hate to watch an English dub of a French TV show Drama as well. The Dubbbings would sound pretty stupid, if not laughable.

I know The Cosby Show airs in French on one of the cable channels up here. Seeing Bill Cosby talking with a Québec French accent looks pretty silly.

Indeed, the English dubbing is just as awful. As for French dubbing, most I heard sounds like it was done in France.

Actually, Zebra, most of it is done in Québec. If fact, most of the French language soundtracks that you would hear on most DVD's Movies were done up here.

Here is a funny thought for you. If you're a frequent French speaker, you should test yourself. Buy yourself a DVD (over here) with the French dubbed track on it, and buy yourself the same movie in French, but in the Region 2 PAL DVD that is sold in France and most of Western Europe.

If you listen to both French soundtracks, you will quickly notice the difference of the Dubbing methods used for translation in the French speaking world.
