** In September 2023, Netflix rereleased the first two seasons of the long-lost Dutch dub, marking it's first release since the show was pulled by Cartoon Network in 2015, but Dutch audio's only available for the series in the Netherlands and Belgium, which means for people in North America, [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes the dub remains scarce]].

* Also in Hungary, the last seasons of ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlack'', ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' have been neglected for over a decade until being finally shown in the 2010s (though this brought about a bad case of [[InconsistentDub inconsistent translations]] and [[TheOtherDarrin voices]] for some of them).

That's not what "averted" means — if it was dubbed, it was dubbed.


* Averted with ''WesternAnimation/Kinderwood'', which didn't get dubbed at all. It took 3 years for the show to be dubbed, and all 30 episodes were then dubbed and aired on international Nick Jr. ad-free channels.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'' was advertised in the lineup for Germany's version of Creator/AdultSwim (which airs on their TNT-Serie channel), but never actually aired and still has yet to make any appearance. It is possible that TNT-Serie realized how violent and brutal the show really was, and decided not to show it (not even with an 18+ rating) [[note]]German fan speculation also figures the totalitarian/Nazi subtext behind Future Warden in "Time-Police part 1" could have also played a part, but nothing has been confirmed about the show's lack of airing, other than the static "Superjail!" page on the website[[/note]].

* This trope lead to ''WesternAnimation/{{Robotomy}}'''s demise. Creator/CartoonNetwork couldn't convince ''any'' foreign networks to air the show (most likely due to its violent content), and as a result they [[ScrewedByTheNetwork saw no point in pushing it]], so it become the [[ShortRunners shortest-lived Cartoon Network original]].

** Most Asian countries, excluding South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore, have only made it to the first half of season 5, if they were lucky enough to have access to Disney Channel Asia between 2000 through 2003. It seems that only South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore are the only markets in the region that still airs the show. However the show has only ever aired on terrestrial TV in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea.

* For the longest time, the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' series was never brodcast in Japan. Several of the multipart episodes (such as "Bender's Big Score") have broadcast on WOWOW, but [[NoDubForYou subtitled rather than dubbed]]. Eventually, the entire series was then made available on the Star catalogue of Japanese Disney+, albeit subtitled yet again. This is especially odd, considering that Groening's later Netflix series ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'' received a full dubbing treatment, ''including its original teaser advert''.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Llanargollen}}''. Never heard of it? Expected that much, considering it's an obscure Welsh series that was ''only'' ever aired in Wales [[note]]well, you ''could'' watch it in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as S4C broadcasts nationally in the UK[[/note]]. It was never distributed internationally, not even an English dub for British audiences, and your best bet is the series airing on [=S4C=] with English subtitles. And even in its home country, it still [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes has no home media or proper streaming release]][[note]]Episodes ''can'' be viewed on the BBC [=iPlayer=], but only as they air, and they only last for 30 days before being taken off until the next rerun[[/note]].

* ''WesternAnimation/PinkaliciousAndPeterrific'' has not seen a release outside the U.S, Latin America, and Africa, whereas ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'' has not seen a release outside the U.S and Canada. This is most likely a number of factors, with the major reason probably being that PBS distributes these shows and doesn't really sell their shows to other networks, unless they're made by another company like ''WesternAnimation/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' and ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood''. Another factor is that both shows will most likely not do well in international markets, as the ''Pinkalicious'' books aren't really well-known outside North America, while ''Molly of Denali'' focuses on Alaskan culture.
