the ZDF/Kinderkanal will show Season I of Ocean Girl next week:
ZDF Kinderkanal
Aug 10 - 9:30 - 10:40 14:30 - 15:50
Aug 11 - 9:30 - 10:50 14:30 - 15:50
Aug 12 - 9:20 - 10:30 14:20 - 15:50
Aug 13 - 9:20 - 11:00 14:20 - 16:00
If you look at the times (I copied them exactly as they are printed
in my TV magazine) you'll see that the version from the Kinderkanal
has a total of 5:50, but the ZDF only has 5:20 - that's a difference
of 30 minutes !
Looks like the ZDF is cutting out all trailers etc.
The other bad thing is that it looks like they're cutting during
episodes (otherwise all 4 blocks should all have the same length
which should also be a multiple of the length of one single episode).
TV stations tend to do bad things ...
So, finally - let's hope that at least the ZDF will show it in
dual-tone - the German synchronisation tends to be shit at some
places.
