American Idol / SuperIdol
While pretty much every civilized country has their own American Idol knockoff, China’s stands out among the rest by the sheer scale of the proceedings. Last year’s final episode was seen by over 400 million viewers, making it not only the most watched TV program in the history ever, but giving it a larger audience than the populations of the US + UK combined. The show also drew in an estimated 1.2 billion votes over the course of 2007.
