Sure they make a lot of gross and dangerous stuff, but it's because of the whole thing it's so special. The actors and their failing to act when things gets out of hand, the sloppy camera work, the bad directing, the off-scene pranks and wars going on all the time. I think it's amazing - How a show can reach fame just from being so different from everything.
