Wazzup! WatsUP! What's up!

Tuesday, July 19, 2005

Have you ever watched a noon time variety show from mondays to saturdays? (i.e. Eat Bulaga, Wowowee, MTB, etc.) I'm sure you have.

Have you ever noticed how two of the most prominent TV networks (GMA 7 & ABS-CBN) compete with their ratings on these noon time variety shows? I'm sure you noticed that everytime there are rating realeased they say that they are number one.

For more than 25 years, Eat Bulaga (EB) has dominated the noon time timeslot. As long as I can remember, EB started in RPN 9, then they transfered to ABS-CBN 2, where they stayed for quite awhile, after several years, they left ABS-CBN 2 and transfered to GMA 7, where until now they are still there.

For many years, EB faced a lot of competition from the other network (i.e. MTB, Sang Linggo nAPO Sila, Wowowee). Sang Linggo nAPO Sila was one of their competition which was hosted by the Apo Hiking Society, then after they shut down, MTB (Magandang Tanghali Bayan) replaced them. MTB faced a lot of controversies involving their hosts. These controversies lead to the suspension of the hosts who allegedly used profanity in their show that was not allowed in the television due to the fact that it is a family show. The hosts of EB could not help but to humor the controversies that their adverseries faced. Although one host of EB was also suspended due to profanity. This host, couldn't help it if he said some words that have double-meanings, because it is his nature to do that.

Let's go to another thing that bothers me about these noon time shows. I will admit that I am a "KAPUSO" and I can't help it if I will be comparing these shows.

+ One thing that I have noticed is the cheap imitaion of Wowowee of Eat Bulaga's Bulagaan with their Joke Time. which to me is a bastardized version of the Bulagaan.

+ The imitaion of the Sexbomb dancers of EB where Wowowee changed it to the Wowowee dancers. Which is really a low blow.

+ Eat Bulaga made their stage director, Jose Manalo, a part of their cast. Inevitably, Wowowee imitated the move of EB and made their stage directors a part of their cast and named them Korn and Niks.

+ Jimmy Santos is a big part of EB and has been with EB for as long as I can remember. Now, Wowowee made their own version of Jimmy Santos, which is a sign of desperation.

+ Another disappointing action that Willie Revillame has done,is collecting donations from the studio audience who are balikbayans, which is really a cheap thing to do for a show which has a lot of sponsors.

++ What is the matter with Willie Revillame? Is he going despearte and making CHEAP and LAME imitaions of the actions that Eat Bulaga?

This is my message to Mr. Wowowee and his staff!

GET GOOD WRITTERS! GET GOOD IDEAS!
