It's Showtime (formerly known as Showtime) is a Philippine noontime musical variety show broadcast by ABS-CBN. The show is also broadcast worldwide through The Filipino Channel. The show premiered on October 24, 2009 as a morning talent show for over four regular seasons and various special editions. On January 28, 2012, the show aired its final episode with its two-year competition format and ended with a mysterious and impartial farewell.[1] On January 30, the program revealed a teaser showing its reincarnated look as a reformatted noontime show now entitled It's Showtime, which premiered on February 6, 2012.[2][3][4] The show simulcasted on Studio 23 during its relaunch week. It aired live daily on CgeTV's website.[5]

Overview

Competition format

On October 24, 2009, Showtime premiered as a morning program, airing before the network's noontime shows. The original cast consisted of Vhong Navarro, Anne Curtis, Kim Atienza, Teddy Corpuz and Jugs Jugueta, and Vice Ganda as the permanent judge. During the third season, the show added previously evicted judges – Billy Crawford and Karylle as hosts

In its first four seasons (see below), Showtime had its competition format, wherein three groups, each made up of two to twenty-five members (with no age limit), performing a single performance, whether it is a song and/or dance number or an acting performance. Before the performance, at least one member of the group is given 20 seconds to make an introduction in any way that reflects the group, but should end with the clause "It's Showtime!", but in the All Star Barangayan edition, their barangay will be given 30 seconds of their introduction but same process and the barangay with the best introduction will win ₱10,000. After the performance, the judges, as well as members of the audience, rate the group from 1 to 10. Audience ratings do not count, but can influence the ratings to be given by the judges. Season 4 paved way not only for groups, but also for solo, duo and trio performers to join the competition. The season's change will also have a 1st Runner-Up, every competition, the group or performer with the second highest score will take home ₱20,000. The format spanned four regular seasons, with special editions like Kids Edition and Campus Clash Edition aired within and in-between seasons. (see below for the list of special editions)

A fourth competition spot is randomly given to one of three groups who did not pass the auditions, but are still worthy to perform in the show. After the group's performance, the judges would give a collective yes or no to the group. If the judges give a yes, the group is considered part of the main contest, with the judges' scores to the group's performance to be included in the calculation for the winner. A no would, of course, mean exclusion of the group from the main contest. This segment was removed during season 2. In season 3, during the February 16, 2011 episode, the said segment was returned but no random selection, instead the group automatically performs on stage.

The group with the highest average score from the judges wins and proceeds to the weekly finals. All winners throughout the whole week perform in the weekly finals. Whoever wins in the weekly finals will get the chance to compete in the monthly finals. Lastly, all the monthly finalists compete in a season grand finals.

Aside from the talent competition, Showtime also aired quick and short-termed segments that offer cash prizes to the studio audience. On January 1, 2011, the show was moved temporarily to the noontime slot. It went back to its original timeslot on February 12, 2011 to give way to Happy Yipee Yehey!.

Noontime variety format

It's Showtime set.

Showtime ended their pre-noontime slot run on January 28, 2012 to prepare for their noontime-reformatted show which premiered on February 6, 2012 on its new timeslot, 11:30 am, replacing former noontime program Happy Yipee Yehey!. The show retained all of its hosts, including Vice Ganda, while adding former judges Jhong Hilario, Ryan Bang, and Coleen Garcia. Eric Tai was added as a new host during the pilot episode. It's Showtime aired new long-term segments, while the competitive format returned once again as one of its segments. The competitive format was used for one final season, season five. To cater the entire family audience, a new competition called Bida Kapamilya was introduced on April 30, 2012 as season six. Throughout the run of Bida Kapamilya, It's Showtime added Joy Rendon (May 19, 2012) and Red Talimban (October 27, 2012) as part of the cast.[6]

Ratings

Showtime

Showtime had been a successful pre-noontime show of ABS-CBN. Showtime hit an all-time high rating during its Season 1 Grand Finals last July 24, 2010. Based on Kantar Media Philippines, it garnered 35% national rating versus 8.9% of Diz Iz It! and 13.7% of Eat Bulaga.[14]

It's Showtime

It's Showtime's pilot on ABS-CBN scored a 13.6 household rating. Overall, the pilot scored a 16.3 household rating (the combined It's Showtime pilot telecast on ABS-CBN and Studio 23). The ratings were a little sluggish, rating as low as 9.2% up to a high of 15.8% (grand finals) and consistently lagged within the 10-12 points range (against Eat Bulaga's 17 to the mid-20's range) on its first few months but were a little better than its predecessor Happy Yipee Yehey! according to Kantar Media Philippines.

However, during the Bida Kapamilya Final Week and Anniversary Week respectively, its ratings peaked to 20.9% national household rating beating TAPE's Eat Bulaga, which only got 15% dropped based on Kantar Media's National Urban ratings.[15][16]

When Be Careful With My Heart was move to a 11:45AM timeslot, It's Showtime was also moved to a later timeslot of 12:30PM. The variety show's ratings became pretty stable beating Eat Bulaga almost every day. The ratings of It's Showtime and Eat Bulaga fall within the range of 11-15% household ratings every day of the week. Be Careful with My Heart is also attributed to the stable ratings because of its primetime-like ratings and audience (usually rating between 24-27 points, and went as high as 30 points). It's Showtime's performance regained ABS-CBN's foothold in noontime national ratings.

When Kalokalike was introduced to the show, it became one of the trending topics in social media. It's Showtime became consistent in leading national TV ratings beating Eat Bulaga and Wowowillie. The Ultimate Kalokalike Showdown held last June 2, 2013, garnered a whooping 26.8% national rating leaving Eat Bulaga and Wowowillie with 13.2% and 2.8% national ratings respectively.[17] Due to its success, Kalokalike Face 2 was introduced. The Ultimate Showdown, held on September 28, 2013, posted a 21.6% national TV rating beating Eat Bulaga (15.8%) and Wowowillie (2.6%).[18]

After Kalokalike, It's Showtime edged out rivals with a new trend setter segment That's My Tomboy on October 15, 2013.[19] The 4th Anniversary week special of It's Showtime from October 21–26, 2013 also sustained the leadership of the show in noontime and daytime ratings game.[20][21]

Controversies

MTRCB suspension

Showtime was suspended by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) for 20 days. This was due to comments uttered by guest judge Rosanna Roces against certain groups, especially on teachers, heard live on January 7, 2010. As a form of self-regulation, ABS-CBN relieved Roces of her jury duty, but suspension was still served against the show effective January 11, 2010, thus returning on February 1. In the meantime, a placeholder show called Magpasikat took over Showtime's timeslot.[24] The show had essentially the same format as with Showtime, except that the competing groups were composed of celebrities.

The suspension period, however, lasted only for six days after the Court of Appeals issued a 60-day temporary restraining order against the MTRCB on January 15, 2010. The issuance of the order, and therefore the return of Showtime was announced later in Magpasikat.[25][26][27]

On March 26, 2010, MTRCB ordered a total 1-month suspension of the program because of the incident, including the replacement "Magpasikat." The MTRCB also directed the filing of criminal charges against Florida Tan, ABS-CBN vice-president for programming, and other officers "responsible for the violation."[28] Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN's Corporate Communications said that the suspension is not yet final and that they are seeking appeal before the Office of the President.[29] However the said variety show wins the case due to the MTRCB has not presented new arguments that would justify a reversal of its previous resolution.[30][31]
