Am I The Only One: Random Thoughts

As I reflect to some of the happenings on GMA this week. I wonder, Am I The Only One Who. . .

. . . thought it was annoying that GMA keep misspelling Julie Anne San Jose's name? And their inconsistency is the only thing more ridiculous. She's been in GMA for about a decade and yet they're still confuse whether or not to put an "E" on her A N N E.

. . . has little interest on the rumored show that will be replacing SAS? Sounds like another experiment with names of Marian Rivera, Ai Ai Delas Alas, Wally Bayola and Jose Manalo being brought up, it would be more like Eat Bulaga meets Launch Date, far from a classic musical show we grew up watching every Sunday. It seems GMA is more concern how to make up with Ai Ai and Marian's big guranteed contracts than really coming up with a great program. I know GMA wants to be different but there is a reason why classic still works, I bet this stuff wont even last a year.

. . . find it both silly and insulting that GMA officials want Jose and Wally to be the counterpart of Martin-Garry on ABS and Ogie-Janno on TV5? Ok, Jose is alot better entertainer than Betong but really, Can GMA think of anything more classy?

. . . thinks its better for Lilybeth Rasonable to admit her mistakes and just bring back Party Pilipinas?

. . . thinks Eat Bulaga is showcasing GMA singers better than SAS lately with its new Bulaga Pa More segment? The new sing-off segment already featured Jonalyn Viray, Aicelle Santos, Maricris Garcia and Frencheska Farr, its the type of meaningful friendly competetion SAS missed back when it was a weird reality competition and its the segment they should've been doing instead of Lip Sing It and Betong's loads of crap.

. . . is happy for MARS that just celebrated their third anniversary? Camille Prats and Suzi Entrata's info-tainment talkshow is now on air longer than GMA7 talkshows like Basta Everyday Happy and H.O.T. TV that didnt even had a chance to celebrate an anniversary. To think of it GMA News TV programs tend to have longer runs than those on the main channel. Pop Talk, Biyahe Ni Drew, IJuander and Good News continues to be great alternative shows. DayOff particularly, have been a permanent fixture of its programing eversince its QTV days. This is where the entertainment department needs to learn from their News and Public affairs counterparts. You dont do trial and errors. Make a good show and make your staff dedicate to it.

. . . thinks GMA should make a new reality show and title it LayOff? Pilot episode will feature SAS casts and staff. What you think?

7 Times GMA Ruined Their Own Creation

Image
Change is constant, sometimes it's for the better but sometimes it's for the worse, but for GMA Network at times it's something they thought it's for the better only to end up ruining what is great. When people know what they're doing it's better to just leave them alone, however GMA is notorious for messing up with what their viewers enjoy, cause they believe they know better. You would think they're always trying to blow themselves up on purpose, like someone in there saying "Let's see how bad we can mess this up." Here are 7 Times GMA Ruined Their Own Creation".

Maging Sino Ka Man Failing In The Rating Race

Image
GMA's new Primetime Teleserye Maging Sino Ka Man has not been so impressive in terms of ratings, it's just the third most-watched show on primetime in its debut week and not even the most-watched GMA primetime program, that honor goes to 24Oras while ABS-CBN's Batang Quiapo is now the undisputed number 1 weekday show after Voltes V legacy ended. What is even more alarming is that the ratings trend for MSKM is on a downward trajectory while Batang Quiapo is having a surge. MagingSinoKaMan's rating is just too low for its timeslot, it got bumped by Royal Blood and even by the afternoon show Abot Kamay Na Pangarap out of the top 3 daily programs. While some may say that it's still in the top 5 programs this is still disappointing considering its stars Barbie Forteza and David Licauco were fresh out of the successful Maria Clara at Ibarra and were highly touted for the show's success and were named the breakout loveteam. With the series being said to be limite

I Was Right About Louise Delos Reyes

I have always been skeptical about the huge push GMA handed to Louise Delos Reyes. From the start I've been firm and very vocal in my opinion that she's a hardsell as a leading lady, much more as the Network's top star. After a not so successful youth oriented series on TV5, Louise returned to GMA as an impromptu onscreen partner to Elmo Magalona in Pilyang Kerubin, and later as one of the casts of Tween Hearts, but only for very short stint as she was immediately elevated to leadstar status to play the title role in Alakdana and since starred in several primetime dramas, including the drowned Kambal Sirena. Fast forward today, GMA's Next Most Important Leading Lady has found herself suddenly below the level of importance. She'd been out of big projects for quite some time now and just doing forgettable guestings, she's even rendered invisible in the overcrowded Sunday AllStars that is also lowering its curtains soon. It was said that Louise will be part of
