Running Man


I am completely addicted to this Korean variety TV show.  The premise is simple, the show's large cast and the weekly special guest(s) must perform certain tasks in order to have better chances of getting out of the punishment at the end.  The tasks are always different and usually result in many funny moments throughout the show.  This is also greatly helped by the diverse permanent cast and how they interact with one another.  In all the segments, there is always the running man aspect where teams are formed and tasked with eliminating the other teams, hence the title of the show.  This show also takes place over various famous landmarks and locales around Korea.  For special events, they have even traveled to Thailand and Hong Kong.

Give it a shot.  A search through YouTube will reveal many clips and if one is so inclined, sign up at iSubs' website and download the show, completely translated into English.
