Isn't this the exact same show week in and week out, right down to the same songs (that Gwen Stefani joint)? Why is it so popular? And isn't it just an excuse for celebrities to flirt with one another?

Not sure if it's still the case but kids seem to be really into this show. I don't know why exactly.

"What's your favorite TV show?"

This show(and many ones like it) have perfected the art of imitation...

They are good for a laugh and a perve though Wink

Well, welcome to the world of Korean televison.

Apart from very few exceptional shows that prove the rule, popular Korean television is creatively crippled. That's true to a degree anywhere. But here it doesn't insult the audience's intelligence so much as reflects it.

Back in the day there were a few simple shows I liked, such as Standby Cue and Dream Team. And while I admit those were no great shakes compared to, say, Cheaters, they were mildly entertaining.

'X-Men' is the same song and the same "missions" every week. If it's popular with the kids, I suspect they use it as spank fuel. Likely the ajeosshis do, too.
