Some Shows Without Dubs

  1. The Problem Solverz - It never got dubbed in other languages due to negative reviews. Most, if not all international Cartoon Network channels refused to air this.
  2. Secret Mountain Fort Awesome - Not dubbed due to violence.
  3. Robotomy - Read the 2nd one.
  4. Balamory - There exists rumors of an USA English Dub being produced, but the users are lying. No dubs have been produced.
  5. Middle School Moguls - An American cartoon that never aired outside of English.

These are some of the shows that never got dubbed.

Wow, The Problem Solverz was certainly an... interesting choice for Cartoon Network. Can't say it’s a big surprise that it wasn’t picked up for international dubs. That art style is like visual candy – or an eyesore, depending on who you ask! Still, it’s a shame not every show gets a chance to find its audience worldwide.

smh violence was the reason Secret Mountain Fort Awesome didn't get dubbed?? Have they seen half the anime out there?? There’s way more violent stuff that’s successfully dubbed and broadcasted internationally. It always feels arbitrary what gets through and what doesn’t.

My kiddo loves Balamory, and I had no idea there were rumours about a US dub. It's always served as great exposure to the Scottish accent for us ha. It's weirdly comforting? Anyway, a US dub woulda stripped it of that charm, I reckon.

Robotomy was so underrated! It deserved better than to just get lumped in with 'too violent to dub' category. Felt like it had more potential, like coulda been a cult classic or somethin'.

The US English dub rumors for Balamory are definitely false flag operations. Don't believe everything you read on the internet, do your own research people!

When you consider the ROI on dubs for shows with poor initial reviews, the business decision makes sense. It's not just about content like violence, but potential audience size and merch opportunities. Sad reality of the tv world.

Some shows never got dubbed because they're too high IQ for the general population, change my mind. Your average person just can't appreciate the genius of The Problem Solverz' aesthetic. It's art, people!

Yes. Even some reality shows didn't get adapted into different countries, such as Bad Girls Club (my favorite show, even though it didn't get picked up for foreign countries). And some early English speaking shows didn't have dubs of any kind.

I swear, Bad Girls Club would've been hilarious dubbed in different languages. The drama would've transcended language barriers haha. Kinda sad some shows don't get that international love, would've loved to see what kind of voice actors they'd choose! 🤷‍♂️

It’s not just about the audience reception or violence, sometimes it’s the cost of dubbing and the expected ROI that stops networks. Like with 'The Problem Solverz', its unique animation style and negative reviews made it a financial risk. Hard for networks to justify the expense when there's little chance of a good return, especially in non-English markets.

All these shows had one thing coming for them - being forgotten. No dubs, no international fans, no legacy. Harsh but true.

Never heard of Middle School Moguls before. No dub means I probably won't ever see it unless I feel like flexing my English skills, huh. Shame, I’m always on the lookout for new toons.
