Can someone explain the reasoning behind the Israeli alternate title for "Dif'frent Stokes".

I think Philip Drummond's home penthouse suite was much closer than 45 minutes to Harlem. His penthouse suite was at 697 Park Avenue in Manhattan. I don't know exactly where the boys had resided in Harlem. But according to mapquest it is approximately four miles and fifteen minutes away. It might be even closer by subway. But even though Harlem and Park Avenue are geographically close they are worlds apart.

There are quite a few others that I found but only know the English translations though, not the actual title in the other language:
China - Lazy Americans are Doomed
Russia - Look at Those Weaklings
Ireland - Wee Brown Leppercorns
The Netherlands - Duuuuuuude! What's Going On?
Romania - Old Man Phil, the Child Molester
Afghanistan - Beware, Infidels!
Norway - Turn off TV, Is Time to Go to Discotheque
Argentina - Everybody's Dead but Willis (And He Just Got Really Lucky)
Here are a couple in the country's language that I don't know the English translations for:
Mexico - Los Hijos de Felipe Despues del Fuego
Kenya - Pop-click-tik-tik-tik -

So it was all just an act for Pedo Pete who was hiding out as bumbling, idiot oaf Mr. Carlson as the CEO of a radio station in SINcinatti.
Then just as they were closing in he moved to NY to go black and never go back.
In keeping with the spirit of today:

Is that what they say?
Maybe that is the excuse they gave to be less embarrassing when he tried to take a bath in a Whirlpool and spun himself to death.
I dunno bro.
I think the truth is somewhere in between.
Like trying to rape Vicki bending her over a Whirlpool during the spin cycle!

I love this one, so literal and funny all at once. Obviously chosen due to his catchphrase "What cha talkin' about?" the kid asked a lot of questions lol

Most shows and movies have altered titles, usually the reason is that there is already some shows and movies that have a similar title(s). Other reasons included not to be related to an event or a disaster. Some titles are changed to reflect the cast or characters who is/ are very popular.
