Tropes/Thinly-Veiled Dub Country Change

Eastern Animation

 * 4Kids also had a deal with the Russian network, ViD, in the late 90s-early 00s. Their dub of The Fishcins not only relocated it from Muscovy to Missouri (of all places); it renamed the titular family (and the show) to the Floyds, and (besides sanitizing it to a TV-Y7 level) got rid of all Russian cultural references, despite the show being created as a Trans-Pacific Equivalent to The Simpsons, made by ViD to complement all the (faithful dubs of) American adult animation (mostly FOX) they aired at the time. Thankfully, this dub was never aired outside of the United States, with the UK getting a far more faithful dub (due to ITV having a longstanding partnership with ViD), which aired in all other English-speaking countries, including the Canadian Global network, and once ViD executives actually saw the Americanized version in 2004, they ordered all deals with 4Kids to be immediately terminated. The ITV “British English” dub is the same one which can be found on all animatsiya streaming services, as well as all Anglophone versions of Netflix, today, and the majority of 4Kids version episodes are now lost media.
