This is a very nostalgic concept coming Teddy, Vhong and Jugs otherwise known as TVJ or was it Jugs, Teddy, and Vhong aka JTV or GTV of GMA Entertainment? Nagpapalakas ha?
As a regular tambay of Cinema 1 and PBO, seeing these fallen legendary comedians who have passed away and Showtime paying tribute to them is not only wistful and excessively nostalgic ... but also shows some Filipinos pining for mushy and mawkish melodramatics ... the kind of sentimentality for the past ... reminiscing fond memories and revisiting the good old days as we trip down the memory lane. The concept is authentic Filipino and I am sure if these comedians were streaming down this clip via celestial Wi-Fi from heaven ... I am sure they would be happy ... and they would not feel ... they were forgotten.
TVJ or JTV never fails to amaze me ... the concept was simple ... pero sabi nga ni Tirso ... meron itong kurot sa puso ... nararamdaman mo ang hapdi at kirot ... as you saw the audience and the judges wiping their tears. The concept has this message ... yong “Oo nga pag lipas ng mga taon at tapos na ang iyong oras, pag wala na tayo sa mundo, may maaalala pa kaya sa atin?”.
The idea was so timely ... lalo na at katatapos pa lang ng All Soul's Day. This one for the books ... the storytelling was taut and tightly stretched ... the pacing was fast and the whole production introduced artificial intelligence (AI) technology ... and the desired effect ay "tagos sa puso" ... and the netizens are going gaga about the aftershocks it created. I think this is the best way to start the Magpasikat 2023 ... it sets the bar high and all indications show we are in for a roller coaster ride of the best production numbers this week.
