The Family Ness (American series)

The Family Ness is the American English dub of the British series of the same name. It originally aired from 1987-1988 on RKO Network.

Dubbing history
The dub was recorded in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, while the scripts were adapted and "Americanized" in Los Angeles. The dub was recorded using drama club students from high schools in Fitchburg, Leominster, and Lunenburg; Stratton Players members from Fitchburg; and burlesque performers from Boston in July 1987. According to voice actor Vanessa Hoang, she's unsure why Lionheart Television and RKO came to the Boston area for dubbing, though it's likely because of the cheap royalty agreements they accepted to do the job.
