Movie dubbing

Dubbing or subtitling? There’s a match (but I chose my side)! Do you know this anecdote about the Starsky and Hutch series?
The American series would have been saved by its French voice actors. Yes Yes. Originally, the two heroes were content to conduct their investigations as seriously as possible. And the first season not having found its audience, the production decided not to continue the adventure.

But, in Francophonie, it was quite different. The official voices of Starsky (J. Balutin) and Hutch (F. Lax) having fun modifying or adding comedic reflections, giving a more downright burlesque tone to the series. The success, in France, would have been such that the American producers continued the production of the following seasons, not without adding a little touch of humor. Dubbing can sometimes save some work.

I admit I never checked if this was a rumor. If you find out this is a fake, please don’t tell me. Below is a non-exhaustive voxography of my participation in the French versions of films and live series.
