added TV dub entries

Added DiffLines:

* The Slovak dub of Series/{{ALF}} wanted to avoid Alf's comments referencing obscure American actors he was watching on TV. Alf instead tended to quip he's watching a rerun of a show or an old film starring Stano DanĨiak (i.e. [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall his own dub actor]]).


Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/{{Monk}}'''s Slovak dub didn't change any cultural references, but often slightly rewrote things like secret messages coded into poems, diaries or license plates, to make them rhyme or sound less convolutedm in spoken Slovak.

* ''Series/ThePersuaders'' with Tony Curtis and Roger Moore is remembered much more fondly in Germany (where it was called ''Die Zwei'' (''The Two'')) because of the extremely creative dub that consisted almost entirely of crazy made-up [[TheSeventies 70s]] [[TotallyRadical slang]]. Some of the phrases from the dub have become [[MemeticMutation memes]] in Germany, for example the GratuitousEnglish OneLiner "Sleep well in your Bettgestell" ("Bettgestell" means "bed stead" but rhymes with "well"). Then there's "Hände hoch - ich bin Achselfetischist!" ("Hands up - I'm an armpit fetishist!").

* The first season of ''Series/StrangerThings'' premiered just as Creator/{{Netflix}} expanded from sixty countries to over 190, and they [[https://qz.com/1107696/how-netflix-translated-stranger-things-so-it-worked-globally/ put plenty of work]] into translating the show into over twenty languages -- not easy given how much of the show is rooted in [[TheEighties 1980s]] [[EverytownAmerica Americana]].
