Franchise ang tawag jan!!!
etong mga gaya gaya shows na sinasabi mo ay "franchise" ang tawag jan...parang sa mga 7-11/ministop/o kung anupang mga franchising establishments, kahit saan pwedeng sumulpot yan o "gayahin"...kc yun naman talaga ang pakay nun...Pinoy version nga lang...ang mga tv networks mahirap magsimula ng original shows ang mga yan kc di nila maprepredict ang kalalabasan nun sa audience share nila, unlike kung franchise show, for example Junior Masterchef/X-factor/Pilipinas Got talent/etc...may audience share na agad sila..kc napatunayan na sa ibang bansa...un lang po...
pag ganitong gaya gaya show
pag ganitong gaya gaya show nakakatamad manood, sana naman mag isip isip naman sila ng ibang show na involve ang mga kids pero may originality, kasi yong mga local tv shows kasi dito sa atin puro kinopya na lang sa ibang bansa.
