When a show is sold to a foreign country, things may well be changed for a foreign audience. That is, things apart from the obligatory dubbing or subtitling.

== Anime and Manga ==
* In the first chapter of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', Jet finds a bottle at a thrashed bar. In the Japanese original, he says "Presidente? I'll take it"; however, since there ''is'' a brandy called Presidente Domecq in Mexico, the Mexican dub replaces it with "A bottle of tequila, eh? I'll give myself a little luxury".
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
* The 2006-07 syndicated feed of ''[[Beakman's World]]'' removes all mention of the mailing address that kids used to send in science questions, which could make new viewers wonder where all those letters they get are coming from.
** Also, for some unknown reason, the same syndicated feed only aired seasons 1 and 4, leaving out seasons 2 and 3 (the Liza episodes).
* Possibly one of the first shows that fans cared about enough to notice and complain about this sort of thing was ''[[MASHM*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]''.
* Large chunks of various 2005–present ''[[Doctor Who]]'' season finales were removed to make room for commercials when it aired in America on the [[Syfy]]. (Some also find it [[Bowdlerise|suspicious]] that Captain Jack's passing mention of his crush on the Doctor was cut ''despite lasting all of three seconds.'')
** The Master's dance number was disappointingly cut out of the season finale on CBC, presumably due to the rest of the things happening in the scene.
Line 154 ⟶ 155:
* ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' was made during the "Wild West" era of [[Nickelodeon]], meaning few standards for episode lengths, content and the like. Creator Joe Murray was offered the opportunity to make the Edited for Syndication version himself, but Murray declined. This version of the episodes were mixed-and-matched onto two forty-dollar DVD sets marked "Best of Rocko's Modern Life, Volumes One and Two" on Amazon. Murray has begun fighting for the rights to Rocko's to get it a dignified release.
* ''[[Special Agent Oso]]'' has recently been edited for syndication when airing in the United Kingdom. ''Why'' this is so is not known.
* On its 2009 annual re-airing, [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] made the decision to cut scenes from ''[[A Charlie Brown Christmas]]'' to make room for commercials advertising ''[[Prep and Landing]]'', the "new holiday classic" airing afterwards. This did not go over well, but fortunately, the full version was shown the following week.
** It should be noted that, for most of its run on [[CBS]], the special had to cut out the scene of the kids throwing snowballs at the can on the fence. It was eventually restored on a 1991 video release and on CBS's broadcasts in 1997, but one shot that never did get restored was Snoopy tossing Linus at a Coca-Cola billboard immediately following the title card.
* ''Daria'''s run on The N suffered from this, removing any and all scenes of cursing, sex references, or darkly humorous content—and episodes that couldn't be cut without turning the episode into a lopped, cropped, and chopped mess were simply left unaired (i.e., "My Night At Daria's," where everyone thinks Daria and Tom slept together after they both fell asleep while studying in Daria's room).
