Family Outing

Family Outing (Korean: 패밀리가 떴다; RR: Paemilli-ga Tteotda; lit. Family's Here; also known as Family Outing Season 1) was a South Korean comedy-variety show; a part of SBS's Good Sunday lineup, along with Gold Miss is Coming (골드미스가 간다). It first aired on June 15, 2008, and was one of the top rated programs on Sunday Korean television. The format of the show called for the "Family" to travel to different parts of South Korea, taking care of the house of an elderly family, who go on a vacation. The "Family" then accomplishes the tasks left for them by the homeowners.Much of the game-variety show format of Family Outing is considered to be influenced by its predecessor on SBS, X-Man, with several shared production and cast members. The show sought humor from interactions between its cast of complementary characters and its series of physical and mental competitions. Trademarks of the production included sound effects, pop-up text and background music in accordance with the on-screen narrative. Music included personal theme songs for various cast members, frequently coordinated with moments of lament or foolishness for comedic effect, or schadenfreude. The first season ended on February 14, 2010, and a second season featuring a brand new cast, production team, and concept, aired until July 11, 2010.
