Thanks to J...Right Fatemeh, it is interesting post. Thanks to Jessica :) We also have a Korean version of American Idol (or X factors) which is called as 'Super Star K.' It is world-wide trend to broadcasting the 'reality show' these days, However, in Korea, the original version of reality show rarely broadcasted on the public broadcast networks. This is due to, I believe, cultural differences and governmental control to protect the Korean broadcasting system.<br /><br />Like which type of show decides the success of it, culture affects a lot to makes the show in a country. I watched a hollywood movie with other Americans. The interesting thing here we laughed in different scene. While Americans thaught interesting scenes, most Koreans did not agree. After the movie, we just concluded this is because of cultural differences.Sooyun Chunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07357013197414119201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221820438088178071.post-76267862414090042162011-10-25T00:46:47.793-04:002011-10-25T00:46:47.793-04:00Jessica, this is a really interesting post. I part...Jessica, this is a really interesting post. I particularly appreciate your research and links. I think it would be interesting to compare original vs adapted television shows in a country. I say this because I watch the X factor (UK edition) and have been hooked since I saw it in England in 2009. But I can't seem to get into the US version. <br /><br />I also think it depends on the type of show, in regards to whether it makes in a country or not. Take for example, The Office. It was a pretty big success when it first came out, up until Steve Carell left (yes, I still can't get over it). But when I tried watching the original UK version, I couldn't get pasted the first episode, mostly because the comedy just wasn't to my liking. So I think you're right in the respect that sometimes shows can thrive or flop for unknown reasons, but other times it really depends on the type of show and whether audiences (global and nationwide) can connect and relate to the show on some level.Fatemehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01839434189861932199noreply@blogger.com
