Shin Chan (Polish, dub)

The dub was first broadcast on Fox Kids in Poland on April 13, 2003 at 11:40 PM. Despite the late hour air time, the series gained a large audience of mainly younger viewers.

The Polish dub, commissioned by Fox Kids and produced by Studio Eurocom, was a translation of the Lacey Entertainment English dub. 24 of the 52 episodes, and an additional two segments, recorded at Vitello Productions were dubbed in Polish and aired. Although 52 episodes were produced at once in English, what was aired in Polish makes up what Fox Kids UK considered the first season.

When Fox Kids rebranded to Jetix in 2005, the show was removed from rotation for six months. When it came back, the number of segments aired at a time decreased from three to two, and then to one. Broadcasting changed from regular to an irregular filler for gaps between shows. The dub aired on Jetix for the final time on September 1, 2006.

Censorship
When the series was broadcast in Poland, identical censorship was used to that of the broadcasts in the United Kingdom. As a result, the second segment of the twelfth episode, titled in English as Mom and Dad's Big Night, was skipped. The entire twentieth episode, comprised of the segments I Climb a Mountain, I'm Mountain Meat, and Survival of the Fattest, was not broadcast.


 * Any instance where "Oh my God!" or "jackass" occurred in the original English dialogue was removed.
 * Episode 3c: The episode ends six seconds early to remove Harry's comment, "You guys stay here, I'm gonna go stand in the traffic."
 * Episode 4a: Although the dialogue was redubbed, the removal of the word "freakin'" from Principal Enzo's dialogue resulted in the loss of some frames. Shin's line, "Some rotten kid put grape juice in his inhaler," from the English dialogue is also removed.
 * Episode 4b: The final "I'm your biggest fan" scene was slowed down to omit Shin dancing with a fan between his rear end.
 * Episode 4c: The flashback was switched from the aforementioned "I'm your biggest fan" scene to instead highlight Miss Uma's "Who wants some dance lessons?". Shin's line "I've got two months to live," was also removed. When Shin's parents look for his missing ski, the scene with Shin saying, "What am I gonna to do with you? Always losing your things!" was removed, along with his parents giving him a noogie.
 * Episode 7b: The repairman's line, "It looks like someone beat the crap out of it" from the original English dialogue is removed.

 * Episode 9c: Shin looking to the cow's udder and then to Mitsy's breasts and saying "Explains why we're always out of milk," is removed.

Trivia

 * In the English version of episode 3a, Miss Dori is named on a sign beneath her front door as "Miss Snell", a possible early localized name for the character. This is carried over to the Polish dub, in which the lector reads aloud "Panią Snell".
