 A phenomenon so big was never before seen in Israel and even though several kids and teenage-oriented shows of the same vein were aired later in the country, most of them coming from Argentina, never a show came close to the mass hysteria "Rebelde Way" caused among Israeli youth.Argentina is still instantaneously connected with this show by Israeli natives and both the Mexican and the Brazilian versions were also aired.Yair Dori wanted to extend "Rebelde Way" for a third season but, due to Cris' refusal, was unable to.
