Show ni Bitoy at Ogie, Walang bago!

QUITE depressingly, walang bagong putahe ang inihanda ng bagong show nina Ogie Alcasid at Michael V lalong-lalo na sa segment na panauhin nila si Annabelle Rama.

Nagkakaisa ang mga nakapanood ng pilot episode na ‘yon nitong Linggo—ourselves included—na ilang beses na naming narinig at napanood ang pagtalakay sa likas na ugali ng feisty manager.

It lacked “gulat factor,” na inaantabayanan ng mga viewer ang mga never-before-told revelations ni Annabelle, but the way the interview went, kung hindi lang napakaagang matulog ng gabing ‘yon, any bored viewer would want to visit Dreamland and wake up to a sunny Monday morning.

Ogie Alcasid, Bitoy at Marian Rivera, tatapatan sina Sarah Geronimo at Vice Ganda

DETERMINADO ang GMA-7 na makabawi sa ratings tuwing Linggo ng gabi sa paglulunsad ng dalawang bagong shows sa susunod na buwan.

Kinompirma ng isang taga-Siete na nag-taping na sina Ogie Alcasid at Michael V ng bagong musical talk show na may parehong format sa Gandang Gabi Vice ng ABS-CBN.

Balak nga ng Siete na itapat ang show nina Ogie at Bitoy sa GGV at sa Sarah G Live ni Sarah Geronimo.

Bukod sa show nina Ogie at Michael V., malapit na ring mapanood tuwing Linggo ang bagong sitcom ni Marian Rivera, na makakasama niya sina Roderick Paulate at ang sikat na chef na si Pablo “Boy” Logro ng Kusina Master.

Matatandaang dating nagkaroon ng sitcom si Marian, kasama si Pambansang Kamao Manny Pacquiao, ngunit tsinugi ito ng Siete dahil inilampaso ito sa ratings ng show ni Vice.

Umaasa ang Siete na kaya nina Ogie, Bitoy, at Marian na pataubin hindi lang sina Sarah G at Vice, kundi pati na rin ang Talentadong Pinoy ni Ryan Agoncillo at Extreme Makeover Home Edition ni Paolo Bediones na nagsimulang umere noong Linggo sa TV5.
