‘Bubble Gang’ to End Soon?

Posted on January 18, 2011 by cd // 82 Comments

The longest-running gag show on Philippine television is about to air its final episode?

Bubble Gang first aired on GMA-7 on October 20, 1995 as a counterpart to the ABC 5’s gag show Tropang Trumpo. It occupied the Friday night timeslot of the defunct musical variety show “Vilma!”. Two of its first cast members, Ogie Alcasid and Michael V. came from that show. GMA then hired two talents from the late Douglas Quijano, Wendell Ramos and Antonio Aquitania, in addition to Ogie and Michael. During its first year, it was shown around 7:00 in the evening and carried a slogan “Bubble Gang: Just chew it!”

The show gained popularity when it introduced a segment called Myusik Tagalog Bersyon (MTB) and Music English Version (MEV) in 1996. In later months of 1998, Bubble Gang came up with an idea to spoof a religious program, Ang Dating Daan into “Ang Dating Doon.” They originally intended to quote the Bible, but because of religious sensitivities, they just decided to quote English fairy tales and Tagalog nursery rhymes and make fun of it.

Other sketches from the gag show that became popular are “Yaya and Angelina”, “Moymoy Palaboy”, and countless spoofs of popular newscasts, koreanovelas, talk shows, and celebrities.

The ladies of Bubble Gang include Ara Mina, Rufa Mae Quinto, Francine Prieto, Diana Zubiri, Maureen Larazabal among others. And did you know that the Multimedia star Toni Gonzaga has been part of the Kapuso gag show from 1998 to 2004?

As of January 7, Bubble Gang has aired a total of 838 episodes in a period that spans a decade and a half.

Last weekend, the news that Bubble Gang is nearing its end has somehow leaked. Or perhaps it’s just a rumor.

If ever there’s really a plan to halt this multi-awarded comedy program, I hope the Kapuso management consider changing its timeslot first before doing so. Or perhaps a reformation is in the offing or a new gag show is about to be born?

Uro dela Cruz, the director of Bubble Gang, denied the rumor saying that the longest-running gag show will not be taken off the air.

In a telephone conversation with PEP, the director said: “Hindi mawawala ang Bubble Gang. Marami pa kaming celebration na pinaplano.”

    Mahirap makabawi ang GMA sa kanilang pagkalugi….

    If you are going to analyze, GMA ang apektado talaga sa pag lakas ng TV5 sa Mega Manila, dahil ang ABS-CBN ay malawak ang market – ABS is focusing on nationwide domination not Mega Mla. only.

    Even without the election last year malaki ang kita ng ABS-CBN. Why GMA did not achieve their income? Diba malaki din ang pumasok na political ads sa station nila? Kung walang political ads siguro mas malaki ang loss ng GMA.

    ABS-CBN has the brightest Talents and the followers of the station are in Class ABC & high D, kaya even their movies kumikita.

    The reason why the BPCI tranferred to ABS from GMA because they realized that the pageant can be more famous and to be more well known even in other countries through ABS & The Filipino Channel, dahil sa GMA & Pinoy TV hindi masyadong napapansin.

    ayan mga KASUSO…LUBOG NETWORK na ang GME…walang kwenta na ang mga shows ng GME..wlang kwenta na mga shows ng KASUSO…lugi lugi GME….

    have you guys watched even a single episode of bubble gang? Have you seen how they try to make fun of the ‘gays’ in their show? If kapusos find it funny,then think again..their jokes now are being mean and harsh..please GMA, do not degrade ‘gays’, dont made them the center of comedy for the sake of ratings..michael v. you are comedy genius,im pretty sure you have lots of new ideas for the show..give your viewers entertaining and objective show at the same time..

  35. KapamilyaForever // January 19, 2011 at 12:01 am //

    obviously, nagpaparamdam kasi top rating daw pero hindi pinaguusapan, kakasawa na rin kasi ang mga jokes at mga artista na hindi naman kasikatan.
