Can any suggest American TV shows that I can watch which are

dubbed in Spanish? Not just subtitles, but dubbed. I'm trying every way possible to improve my Spanish.

I was hoping my "The Office" dvds were dubbed, but there are only subtitles

Thanks.

I used to show my elementary Italian class episodes of "Friends" in Italian and English on Youtube.

More likely you'll find Spanish-dubbed or subtitled TV there.

It's channel 14.1 in the DC area. I can't imagine it's broadcast from a TV station in Roanoke, but if you're on cable you should be able to get it. Let me try Rocky Mount ...

This is what comes in over the air, if you're lucky:

There are also some shows on Netflix and Hulu where you can choose subtitles or dubbed versions.

Personally, I learn more, and faster, when a show is in the native language, not dubbed, and there are subtitles.
