I think it's easier to sell syndication rights if the show has at least five seasons. Otherwise, once they start showing one episode per (week)day, they loop around to the beginning too fast. I bet Korea got the offbrand shows for pennies on the dollar.

Would your group be The Band of the Same Name?

Bonus: Name a group that has released an album of the same name which features a song of the same name.

Bad Company is the one I can think of. Any others?
I know one other:

Well, 100 episodes, but that's typically reached during the 5th season. Though it seems 4 US length seasons (88 episodes total) can get you syndicated now.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.
