Television in France

In the mornings, we sometimes
watch music videos.

The difference between French television and American television is that French TV takes American shows and then records all of the voices in French.  Although we do watch some shows in French, including each morning, we watch the "top 10"music videos for the day, we found a way to turn some of the shows into the original English language.  When we miss home the most, we watch TV in English.



French TV is in, well, French

In France, we have found that only Disney and Disney+1 are the same types of channels as we have in the States.  All of the rest of the stations, like W9 and M6 are French and only have a few shows that are made or produced for American television.  I am happy to say that they show Clone Wars, Sponge Bob, Shake It Up, Good Luck Charlie and Mickey Mouse.  It is too bad that they only have old shows, but is is good to see American TV.



We can change some shows from
VF to VO.

When we go to the movies, we sometimes watch the film in "VO" or "VF."  VO means "Version Original" and VF means "Version Francaise."  Sometimes there are subtitles in French, or in English.

We do rent movies from a place called Video Futur and we turn the movies into VO so we can watch in English.  We tried to use NetFlix in France, but it is blocked.  We also tried to watch online versions of NBC, ABC and CBS, but the shows are blocked on the Internet.

See you!
