Original episodes of The Simpsons are shown on the Fox network in the United States. It has been widely distributed internationally afterwards. The episodes are sometimes altered in order to fit the broadcaster’s needs. Reasons for altering episodes include getting more time for advertising or updating the show to e.g. match the current season's football team titles.[1] In foreign countries it might be necessary to adjust the material to suit a foreign country’s culture or humor. Arabic-speaking countries is an example of this, in which they cut out or modify references to alcohol, pork and non-Muslim religions. The animation in The Simpsons makes the show more frequently dubbed in foreign countries rather than subtitled.

United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom it first aired on the satellite channel Sky One from 2 September 1990, one of the first countries outside the United States to do so. Despite not being available on the terrestrial, mainstream channels such as the publicly funded BBC One and BBC Two or commercial ITV1, it was hugely popular in a similar way to the United States and releases of the series on VHS sold well. When it eventually made it to BBC One on Saturday 23 November 1996 the viewership broadened and it enjoyed reasonable ratings, with the first episode receiving about five million viewers, although the debut of Sabrina the Teenage Witch on ITV1 took a significant chunk of its audience. Episodes from the first three seasons were shown, but not in their original order. In March 1997 it moved to a weekday BBC Two early evening slot, where it settled down, episodes began to be broadcast in a less random order than had been the case on BBC One, and soon it achieved high viewing figures for the time-slot.[2] This article or section is not written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. ...

The Simpsons has originally been shown at the Fox network in the United States, but is widely syndicated, mainly to FOX and CW (formerly UPN) affiliates, though some big-3 network affiliates air it in syndication, such as KDNL-TV, the ABC affiliate in St. Louis, Missouri. The versions in syndication sometimes differ from the version shown at Fox, usually because of advertising. The syndicated versions may cut to commercials at a different time than at Fox, which gives an abrupt feeling watching the show. Scenes from the episode can also be taken out to get more space for advertising. Notably, in the US, episodes are mostly seen on over-the-air stations.

German

The Simpsons has been dubbed into one single German language. The show is named Die Simpsons. German (called Deutsch in German; in German the term germanisch is equivalent to English Germanic), is a member of the western group of Germanic languages and is one of the worlds major languages. ...


In German-speaking Europe, among the young and especially students, the Simpsons are very popular. On the German TV station Pro 7, The Simpsons are featured prominently; and it is, thanks to an Austrian station (which airs one additional showtime) possible to watch consecutively three Simpsons episodes per working day. The Simpsons are aired typically between 6 and 8 o'clock in the evening (as of August 2006). ProSieben is a commercial television station in Germany distributed to a large extent via cable and satellite along with DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial) in larger population centers. ...


The episodes appear uncut and dubbed, with written or sung English subtitled in German. Homer's alveolar catch phrase "D'oh!" has been translated to "Nein!" (meaning "No!") rather than leaving it as the meaningless interjection that is his annoyed grunt. Nearly all of the characters carry their American names, there are only just a few characters which are translated, especially animals. For example Reverend Lovejoy is still Reverend Lovejoy. Lovejoy's name seems to be the single one ever translated into German for some episodes ("Pastor Gottlieb"). Gottlieb is a real German first name - albeit outdated - meaning "to love God". The voiced alveolar plosive is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. ... A catch phrase is a phrase or expression that is popularized, usually through repeated use, by a real person or fictional character. ... Look up Doh! in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... An interjection is a part of speech that usually has no grammatical connection to the rest of the sentence and simply expresses emotion on the part of the speaker, although most interjections have clear definitions. ...

Every reduction of The Simpson showtimes, if only planned or carried out, has been met with some public outrage - even in the form of manifestations on the streets. Some years ago, this concerned a change of Pro 7 in Switzerland (watching private-owned stations from Germany is common in Switzerland, especially for the variety of feature films and TV series): In order to place ads for the Swiss market, they intended to scrap The Simpsons for broadcasting in Switzerland, putting in place a "Swiss" Pro 7. Mainly because of The Simpson' popularity, some local cable service providers - nearly all households are provided with cable TV - choose to relay the German Pro 7 signal. Coaxial cable is often used to transmit cable television into the house. ...

Arabic

The program finally made an official debut in Arabic-speaking markets in September of 2005, under a title that transliterates as "Al-Shamshoon" (In Arabic, الشمشون) In addition to being dubbed in Arabic (with subtitles provided for shots including written English, such as the chalkboards), references to alcohol (Duff Beer & Moe's Tavern), pork (bacon & hot dogs), and numerous other themes have been deleted or significantly modified. For instance, Homer drinks soda-pop instead of beer and eats beef sausages as opposed to pork, while some characters, notably Apu and Krusty the Clown were omitted from the shows altogether, most likely due to religious reasons, with Apu being Hindu, and Krusty being Jewish[citation needed] however Reverend Lovejoy did appear in a number of episodes and the bible was named "The Book Of Advice". The characters were also given typical Arabic names such as Omar, Mona and Abar for Homer, Marge and Bart respectively as part of the retooling, while voices were provided by leading actors including Egyptian film star Mohamed Heneidi as "Omar", and their hometown "Springfield" was called "Rabeea" (Arabic for Spring) and made it look like an American town with a major Arab population. The show suffered a lot of criticism from longtime Arab and Muslim Simpson fans were upset over the Arabic adaptation.

French

The Simpsons has been dubbed into the French language twice, once in the Canadian province of Quebec and again in France. In both versions, the show is named Les Simpson, as last names are not pluralized in French. French (français, langue française) is one of the most important Romance languages, outnumbered in speakers only by Spanish and Portuguese. ... ‹ The template below has been proposed for deletion. ...


It is one of only a handful of American television shows that have wholly separate versions in Quebec and France, and a number of studies have been made comparing them. In France all the characters speak standard French, with the exception of the ethnic minorities: Apu is given the Arabic accent common to French shop keepers while Carl, who has no accent in the American version, also speaks inflected French. In the Quebec version only the town elite, such as Principal Skinner and Reverend Lovejoy, speak International French. The Simpson family and most of the townsfolk speak with strong Québécois accents. In the Quebec version the ethnic minorities also have accents. Apu speaks in a creole while Carl has the accent of a Black immigrant from Africa or the Caribbean.[citation needed] APU may refer to: Anglia Polytechnic University, now known as Anglia Ruskin University. ...

Local idioms are occasionally adopted in favor of direct translation. American cultural and political jokes are occasionally replaced with local references. For instance, a reference to Newt Gingrich in Quebec is generally replaced with one to Mike Harris. Most of the recurring characters keep their English names in each French version. Two exceptions are Sideshow Bob and Sideshow Mel, who are known as Tahiti Bob and Tahiti Mel in France, as the word sideshow has no direct translation. In Quebec, the title sideshow is kept as an Anglicism. Another exception is made for Simpsons family's dog, Santa's Little Helper, who is called "Le p'tit renne au nez rouge" (Little Red-Nosed Reindeer) in the Quebecois version and "Petit Papa Noël" (Little Santa) in the French.

The episodes are dubbed by a team of voice actors, similar to the one that does the original. The team does about two episodes per day. In general these voice actors also do the characters who were voiced by celebrities in the American version. In the French version, on occasion, official dubbers are brought in. For instance for the episode where Mulder and Scully from the X-Files appear the voice actors who do their voices on the French version of the X-Files guest starred.

The animation of the show is not changed, and what is in writing in English appears in English in the French versions. One important exception is the blackboard joke at the beginning of each episode. The Quebec and France versions share these French language blackboard scenes.


France

In France episodes are produced by FOX France and broadcast on Canal+ and generally appear about a year after they air in the United States. For unexplained reasons three episodes from the sixth season were skipped by Canal+: Another Simpsons Clip Show, 'Round Springfield, and A Star is Burns (it seems to be related to the length of the season, with no link to the content). These were not dubbed until the season was released on DVD in 2002. The dialogue adaptation and the dubbing is generally considered as a very good one. The only common critic about dialogue adaptation refers to the titles : based on French proverbs or expressions, they are often re-used with minor changes for various plots, creating confusion for the fans. Canal+ (Canal Plus, meaning Channel Plus/More in French) is a French premium pay television channel launched in 1984. ...

Irish

In June 2006 it was announced that the Irish-language TV station, TG4 in Ireland, had acquired the rights to both dub and air seasons 1-4 of The Simpsons in Irish. The first episodes are scheduled to air in late 2006. The Simpsons can already be seen (in English) in Ireland on RTÉ Two, Sky One and Channel 4. The dubs were initially meant to commence broadcast in August, however this has since been pushed back for unknown reasons. TG4 is an Irish television channel aimed at Irish language speakers and established as a wholly owned subsidiary by Radio Telefís Éireann in 31 October 1996; it was known as Teilifís na Gaeilge or TnaG before a rebranding campaign in 1999. ...

Spanish

The Simpsons is also being dubbed into the Spanish language twice, once in Latin America and again in Spain. In both versions, the show is named Los Simpson, as last names are not pluralized in Spanish (though Telefe mistakenly names it Los Simpsons in Argentina). The episodes usually premieres on the local Fox Channel of each Spanish-speaking country. This article is about the international language known as Spanish. ... Latin America consists of the countries of South America and some of North America (including Central America and some the islands of the Caribbean) whose inhabitants mostly speak Romance languages, although Native American languages are also spoken. ...


Between the two versions are many differences. In Latin America Homer is translated as Homero, but in Spain it isn't translated. Other translations in Latin America but in Spain is not translated are: Barney Gumble as Barney Gómez, Chief Wiggum as Jefe Gorgory, Ralph Wiggum as Ralf/Rafa Gorgory, Reverend Lovejoy as Reverendo Alegría, Sideshow Bob as Bob Patiño and Mayor "Diamond" Joe Quimby as Alcalde Diamante. Itchy and Scratchy are translated in the two versions: Tommy y Daly for Latin America, and Rasca y Pica for Spain. Homer Jay Simpson is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons, voiced by Dan Castellaneta. ...


The animation of the show is not changed, and what is in writing in English appears in English in the Spanish versions. In the blackboard scene, we hear Bart reading the phrase translated. After the introduction, in the Latin American version we hear the name of the episode, while this does not happen in the Spanish version.


Latin American Version

The Latin American Version is dubbed in Mexico. A rumor has stated that Matt Groening himself chose the voices for the Latin American version. This dub is recognized as being (if not) one of the best versions of the show, even better than the original english. The most memorable cast dubbed between the season 1 and 9, which were: Matthew Abram Groening (born February 15, 1954[2] in Portland, Oregon;[3] his family name is pronounced ) is an Emmy Award-winning American cartoonist and the creator of The Simpsons,[4] Futurama and the weekly comic strip Life in Hell. ...

  • Homer: Humberto Vélez
  • Marge: Nancy McKensie
  • Bart: Marina Huerta
  • Lisa: Patricia Acevedo
  • Mr. Burns: Gabriel Chávez

In season 9, Huerta quit the character for not being well paid by the company, and was repaced by Claudia Mota. Before beginning season 16, the main cast had a legal issue with the company that makes the dubbing, Grabaciones y Doblajes, because it wanted the actors to be in the National Actors association of Mexico (ANDA in Spanish), and they weren't, so the whole cast was fired. Since season 16, the cast was replaced by new actors, and curiously, Marina Huerta returned to do Bart's and Marge's voice.


Spanish Version

The principal cast is the following:[3]

  • Homer Simpson: Carlos Revilla (until the 11th season when was replaced by Carlos Ysbert due to his death)
  • Marge Simpson: Amparo Soto (replaced at 4th season by Begoña Hernando due to voice problems with his character; in the 6th season Hernando was replaced by Margarita de Francia due to the same problem)
  • Lisa Simpson: Isacha Mengíbar
  • Bart Simpson: Sara Vivas

Many fans of the series and the rest of the Spanish cast were very sad after the death of Carlos Revilla due to his excellent work,[4][5][6] and Antena 3 had to find a substitute for Revilla's voice (as opposed to Dan Castellaneta's).[7] Homer Jay Simpson is a fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons, voiced by Dan Castellaneta. ...

For the comic book series of the same name, see Bart Simpson (comic book series). ...

They are dubbed by the same actors who dub Kelsey Grammer and David Hyde Pierce in Frasier. KITT on display at Universal Studios. ...
