Am I The Only One? :Thoughts On Sunday PinaSaya, Yaya Dub And More

As I reflect to the happenings around GMA this past week, I wonder, Am I The Only One Who. . .

. . . was annoyed by the inaccurate Chika Minute report regarding the 1997 pop-culture last Friday on 24oras? They included Westlife, (who rose to prominence in 2000) in their list of hit boybands from that year. And in an interview with Rodjun Cruz he added that one of his favorite dance hits that time was NSYNC's Bye Bye Bye which is also from the 2000. It was a middle finger for a 90's kid like me.

. . . thinks Sunday PinaSaya would be a huge hit if its in Japan where comedy-variety is at its peak for decades now? The bad news is we're in the Philippines.

. . . is having a hard time symphatizing to Sunday AllStars who's Twitter fanpage expressed some not so pleasing remarks about the pilot of SPS? I, also not feeling the vibe of this new show, but that doesn't make their past show any better. Lets not forget that they are given chances to fix the show but they blew it.

. . . see the desperation on GMA when they decided to end three primetime dramas at the same time? My Mother's Secret, Let The Love Begin, and The Rich Man's Daughter all concluded last Friday to give way to three new programs namely Reply 1997 (a koreanovela), My Faithful Husband and Beautiful Strangers, marking this Monday's date as August 10 Intense. Or It shoud be August 10 tense, as they are obviously tense about KathNiel and JaDine going back to back on ABS-CBN primetime.

. . . was amazed by the number of retweets and favorites Maine Mendoza a.k.a Yaya Dub is getting on Twitter? Her single tweet could launch over 30,000 retweets and favorites. Proving how phenomenal and influential she is in today's Pinoy pop culture.

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

Image
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
