Dubbing History[]
The first season was dubbed in Los Angeles. This season of the show was centered on parodies of famous books, movies and TV shows.
The second season, sometimes called Walter Melon Through History, was now focused on Walter taking over for famous historical figures. This season was dubbed in Vancouver, but the voice of Walter Melon was the same as in the first season as Brian George has dual Canadian-American citizenship, it's unknown why that happen.
