* Happens a lot with US shows who are cancelled before airing all the
* Also ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' which like ''[[Dead Like Me]]'' and ''[[Wonderfalls]]'' was created by Bryan Fuller.
Line 24:
* The movie to the second ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]!'' series was not aired in Japan until after it had already been released in the rest of the world for over a year.
* The dub of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' had this happen when the final 17 episodes of R were finally dubbed. Because of the show's success in Canada, there was no trouble getting YTV to air them, but for whatever reason, getting them into syndication in the United States took years. Meanwhile, they were still constantly rerunning the first 65 dubbed episodes that ended on a cliffhanger during the Black Moon Arc because of the missing end of that plotline.
* ''[[Samurai Pizza Cats]]'' is an interesting case. While a grand total of 52 episodes of the series were dubbed, Canada (which got the show first) had four dubbed episodes pulled from the package. When the show resurfaced many years later in America, these four episodes were included but twelve different episodes were missing instead. Nobody knows why any of these episodes were
* ''[[One Piece]]'' seems to be heading in this direction with the [[FUNimation]] Dub in Australia; the dub first premiered on American [[Cartoon Network]] taking off from where the 4Kids! dub ended, but was canceled after about six months, so we'll have to wait until the DVD releases get back there ''from the very beginning'' to get any further. However the entire ''season'', which had 28 more episodes, was already dubbed, so when Australia didn't cancel it at the same point they were airing a bunch of dubbed episodes there first.
* ''[[IGPX]]'' was aired in English in the United States on Toonami one day before before being aired in Japan due to it being co-produced by Toonami. Japan had the entire 2nd season air before the US saw its release though.
Line 59:
* Something similar happened with season 3 of ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' and Season 10 of ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. The first half and the second half were separated in the US by a few months. The UK had them in one go. This resulted in the latter's show finale, "Unending" being shown in the UK about two months before the US.
* Episodes of the US soap ''[[The Young and The Restless]]'' air one day before in Canada before they do in the US.
* The 20th Anniversary TV Special of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', "The Five Doctors", aired on a collection of [[PBS]] affiliates in the US before it aired in the UK. This is because the BBC decided to delay the special to ''[[Children in Need]]'' night 1983 - November
* Seems to be a trend in recent seasons of ''[[Power Rangers]]'', with the UK airing the season finale before the US.
** A noted example is the ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'' episode "Wormhole", the second part of the [[Crossover]] with ''[[Power Rangers Dino Thunder]]'' , which accidentally aired in Canada before the first part even aired in the US.
Line 67:
* It's crossed the pond the other way too. ''[[Red Dwarf]]'''s eighth season took eight weeks to air all eight episodes in the UK, but when it was shipped to the US for broadcast, most of the PBS affiliates who picked it up aired the whole thing in two nights.
* In the US, ''[[South of Nowhere]]'' had its Season 3B premiere pushed back from May to October 2008. However, it appears that France did not have the mid-season break that the US uses, meaning that the series (which was filmed between seasons) aired in its entirety there.
* ''[[Babylon 5]]'' aired in the US amid the then-usual reruns. In a variation, the UK did ''not'' show the reruns, and thus were always ahead. They finished every season several episodes before the US did, making this a partial example of
* The final three episodes of ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' aired in the UK before they did in the US, although apparently they aired (with English audio available) in Italy before either.
* In an odd inversion, recent seasons of ''[[Degrassi the Next Generation|Degrassi: The Next Generation]]'' have seen some episodes airing in the US before they air in Canada. So far, episodes 6-1 through 6-8, 7-1 through 7-12, and 8-2 through 8-7 have aired in the US first, as have three of the four specials (one of which has no set air date in Canada, oddly enough).
Line 82:
* The final eight episodes of ''[[Bear in the Big Blue House]]'' aired in a number of non-U.S. markets for around three years before finally being seen in the U.S. on Playhouse Disney in 2006.
* New episodes of ''[[Murdoch Mysteries]]'' air about a month earlier in the UK than in Canada.
* This has happened to three different Gerry Anderson series. Several episodes of ''[[Space: 1999]]'' made their debut in either the US or Australia before airing in the UK (though not in Italy, even though the series was partly financed by RAI) and a number of episodes of ''[[Terrahawks]]'' were shown in the US and/or Japan before their British screenings, but the champ in the Anderson canon is ''[[Space Precinct]]''
* Happened to ''[[H₂O: Just Add Water]]''. The third season was aired in the U.K. before being aired in its native Australia, and wasn't aired at all in the U.S.
** This has since changed though as [[Teen Nick]] added episodes of ''[[H 2 O]]'' from the third season to its broadcast rotation of the show in January 2012, when the network brought back the series from a short sabbatical from the network (additional episodes of the second season that were also unseen in the U.S., due to Nickelodeon pulling the program halfway through airing the second season in 2008, were also added to [[Teen Nick]] airings of the show).
Line 118:
* ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' suffered from various iterations of this during its second season. The U.S. and Canada broadcast used to be on the same day, but when the U.S. airing of the second episode of the second season was delayed a week (for the ''Ben 10: Alien Force'' premiere), Canada consistently remained one episode ahead for the remainder of the season.
** Although the second season did not reach UK screens until some months after its North American debut, when it did, a new episode was aired ''every weekday'', instead of just once a week. Consequently, the ninth, tenth and eleventh episodes of the season premiered on UK television, nearly one, two and three weeks before their Canadian airing respectively. However, the two-part season finale, "A Bridge Too Close", did ''not'' air in the UK until a month or two later, allowing Canada and America to air it first.
** Much more infuriatingly, the entire second half of the season, from episode seven onwards, premiered in ''Dubai''
* The second season of ''[[The Boondocks]]'' had two episodes criticizing [[BET]] pulled by [[Cartoon Network]] in the US, but aired by Canada's TeleToon without incident. Those two episodes ended up on the DVD.
* The first 7 episodes of ''[[Winx Club]]'' 's 3rd season premiered in the US before they aired in Italy. And that same season, the 4Kids dub of the last 7 eps aired on YTV in Canada a few months before America (thus alerting viewers, for example, to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sVxBKXk9PI this filler scene] being cut).
Line 124:
** Most English-speaking countries have yet to see the post-S3 movie (though [[Nickelodeon]]'s acquisition of the property may change this), even though one of its soundtrack songs was performed by Australian Natalie Imbruglia.
** And for the most bizarre example, the first country to get the 2nd movie in a regular run (after a premiere at the Rome film festival) is Russia... a country where the 1st film was apparently released direct to DVD.
* The second season of ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'' has been aired in Australia on March
** Canada and Bulgaria (of all places) also got it before the US.
* ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' did this in a very tortoise-and-hare way. In France, the entirety of season 2 was played at a rate of one episode per week. In the US, it started playing shortly after it did in France, but then power-housed through half the season in three weeks, then stopped and let France catch up, and then started just showing random episodes whenever the hell it felt like it until finishing off with a mini-marathon and a season finale. It did manage to beat France to the punch, though. Later seasons weren't shown nearly as randomly though.
