Pânico na TV

Pânico na TV is a Brazilian comedy program shown on RedeTV on Sundays. It is the television version of the original radio program called "Pânico". After its opening on TV (September 28th of 2003) it was popular.

It is popular among young people and its innovative humor in the beginning caused an impact. Since then, crude sketches and disrespectful treatment toward celebrities started to have a negative impact on the show, and it is now considered "cheap humor". Since launching, CQC, a TV show from Bandeirantes, was billed as the "classy version of Panico" and stole part of the show audience.
