this show be incredible and but too esoteric for most people . if you have never truly see a european variety show in the 70 or 80 ( or at least a mexican one ) the entire show would probably be lose on you . if you have and this show be a dead on skewer satire of the phony spectacle and shallowness that these show dive into at their bad . helm by a chain smoking suave wannabe with a pencil moustache and his ultra glamorous and immasculating harridan of an ex wife and viva variety be a variety show that try to get off the ground every episode but always descend into in fighting and act go very wrong . the host be join by johnny bluejeans and a dim witted side kick who seem to have be name because blue jean be a very popular product in his country and that mean the kid will like him and which of course and they do not . the result be a hilarious spoof of variety show in general . imagine the arguing that probably happen backstage during the last day of the sonny and cher show . now imagine it happen onstage in front of you and the star be try to keep their composure . now add cheesy act and a euro riche mentality ( tuxedoes and gown and booze and accent and smoke ) . now you have viva variety . have you ever hear a musician whose music be pretty much write for other musician . too conceptual . viva variety do this for comedian . way too esoteric for the standard american audience . it be funny a hell . and doom .
