There have been rumors that ABS-CBN's noontime show It's Showtime will be replaced soon with a new show titled Palibhasa Tanghali. It's Showtime is said to be back on its original timeslot at 10:30 a.m.
It's Showtime has just taken the noontime slot early February 2012 and since then, it has never toppled rival Eat Bulaga. The rumor circulating on the web about a new noontime show being conceptualized by the Kapamilya network might have stemmed from It's Showtime's lackluster perfromance on the ratings game.
Palibhasa Tanghali which is said to be a new delicacy on noontime, according to rumors will be hosted by former Palibhasa Lalake casts, John Estrada, Joey Marquez and Richard Gomez. Some reports also claim that the three will be making rounds on the metro just like the outside broadcast of Eat Bulaga.
Actually, this rumor is not new already. Months before Happy Yipee Yehey was cancelled, rumors already pointed out to Palibhasa Tanghali as its replacement in noontime. Apparently, It's Showtime got the nod and the rest was history.
With It's Showtime unable to beat its invincible rival, ABS-CBN might have decided to try a new twist that will definitely rock noontime, the one that can put Eat Bulaga's trio to a test. With John, Goma and Manong Joey, plus additional sexy ladies, Kapamilya noontime might not be that bland to taste.
Actually, my hopes on It's Showtime was very high on it's pilot episode because I believe that something new will be served but the show quite disappoints since they have never let go of the talent show there is. I feel that a variety will be a hit in noontime but It's Showtime seemed to be not that prepared to go with it. I hate to say this but in my opinion, the defunct HYY was far better a noontime show than the revamped It's Showtime.
If ever the rumor about Palibhasa Tanghali replacing It's Showtime is true, I will feel relief for It's Showtime (and I think even it's hosts will feel the same). Then for Palibhasa Tanghali, bring back the old fun in a new way!
