Yeah I know, but as far as I know, some shows just don't have their name translated. For example, "Rocket Power" in French is still "Rocket Power". So is "Adventure Time". "Kick Buttowski". I could go on.

And then there's weird stuff like "les Razmokat" for "the Rugrats", and "les Super Nanas" for "the Powerpuff Girls". I never understood these.

Razmoket = rase-moquette, means pretty much the same thing as "rug rat" (rase-moquette is not a real french expression, but it evokes "rase-motte" which means hedgehopping)..

And "nana" is slang for "girl".
