Running Man TV

Ended up watching one of the more recent episodes of Running Man last night, on the 7th day of CNY.

This show has been running for 15 years and I think this must be one of longest running shows that I am aware of. Of course there was Hawaii 5-0, Frasier, Cheers, Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond but although they were hugely successful, they lasted about 10 seasons with about 24 episodes per season.

This show however runs every week, the whole year around and for the last 15 years! Amazing.

They still have a remaining core team of 5 members that started the show. They have made minor but successful additions whenever they lost a member along the way.  And they bring in guests strategically to make the show entertaining.

Still full of original ideas, innovative games and clever ideas for penalties that pulls in laughter. Not to mention the quality of the production and that of the members to produce such a high quality show every week.

A testament to the Korean entertainment industry in terms of knowing how to produce high quality entertainment for a worldwide market.
