ideal mind block

i've been a fan of ideal minds shows for quite a while. shows like on-air, the misadventures of maverick and ariel, ang boyfriend ko, single, and wazzup wazzup eto ka!. but the number of shows dwindled down to two when on-air's time slot was changed which eventually led to its cancellation, ang boyfriend ko ended with two seasons and single stopped with season four. so i was quite surprised and excited when i saw ibc 13's wednesday primetime line up which were all ideal minds show.

on-air tambayan

a reincarnated on-air? definetly not. except for half of the name, on-air tambayan is a totally different show. no more on-air booth were you could do and say anything you want and text messages from viewers praising jm's hosting prowess and making a mockery of his big nostrils. (but we'll see in future episodes if this segments will be included in the show.)

on-air tambayan is like a gag show now, minus the gags. like normal gag shows, o-at is partitioned into several sketches.

cooking monster - this portion features jm *trying* to talk to a maangas and enraged man in a monkey costume who was talking gibberish while "cooking." and because cooking monster was talking incoherently, which was more like grumbling like cookie monster on drugs, subtitles were included to understand the cook-meister. last night chef man-key teached the proper way to cook maling.

laugh-o-meter rating: 1/5

boy gising - boy gising is a gray sock puppet with red dreadlocked hair, rounded jumpy eyes, red felt paper tounge and one hell of an annoying voice. here supposed callers can ask boy any question. i can't recall now the questions and boy's answers to them, probably because they were not worth remembering.

laugh-o-meter rating: 1/5

corny kami - here a corny joke is delivered by jm and two guys in between the beat box efforts of jm's sidekicks and jm chanting "corny kami." and yes they were indeed corny. i was mildly amused by their attempt at being funny and their admission that they were corny. but the punchlines to their jokes were predictable which is baaaaad. (or maybe it was easy for me to forsee the climax of the jokes because i am corny too.Ü)

laugh-o-meter rating: 2/5

grabe sa grabe(?) - i'm not sure of the title of this segment, it escapes me now. this portion featured two extreme guys being jackasses. (i recognize one of the guys as the loco who went to the on-air booth to break paso shards on his head) hmmm... yet another toned down imitation of mister knoxville's hit show. last night they offered their faces to be slapped for a buck. mister paso was getting hit the hardest betweem the two. hehe. had a few good laughs with this one.

laugh-o-meter rating: 3/5

yeah boy - probably the best bit of the show (for me.Ü). here a gwapings reporter searches the streets for a yeah boy! girl, a yeah boy! girl is a very very pretty girl, gives her a rose, asks her questions about her eligibilty, try to convince her to give him a kiss and finally poses for the cameras. for his first assignment mister gwapings was unleashed at the university belt.

yeah boy! girl number one was a definetly a winner. she had a face and a figure of a model and single to boot. (she recently ended her relationship with her bf.) yeah boy! girls number two, three, and four were so-so. gurl number five if i'm not mistaken is from pisay batch '99. remember the sister of angel of batch '97? sya yun! girl number six is panalo! too. although she is too young for me. she's just sixteen. jail bait! jail bait!

out of the six yeah boy! girls our gwapings reporter only scored two kisses which came from yeah boy! girl who already had a boyfriend and a nursing student.

laugh-o-meter rating: n/a (not ment to be laughed at, i think. although i snickered whenever our correspondent couldn't coax a kiss from the chosen yeah boy! girl.)

direk

the star of this show is former child star, ('di ko alam na child star pala 'to dati.) gabe mercado. showcased here is his supposed life after showbiz, how he dreams of a come back in the industry although he admits that he is already laos and how he would achieve this dream trough an inherited b type production company from a deceased uncle. didn't watched it fully though because i had to use the facilities, if you know what i mean.

juniorreyesreports

only had a few glimpse of the scenes from this show because mother was watching lovers in paris. this is a mockumentary. last nights topic was about legalizing prostition. there were several bogus interviews with "prostitutes", "political analysts" and "reliable sources." not to be taken seriously. but it seems to be a fun watch only if i could watch it entirely.

besfriends

this show stars william of single season 3 and his sometimes-cute-sometimes-not-so-cute bestfriend errr... i forgot her name. this show feels like a scripted reality tv show. hmmm... that sounds bad but it building up to be quite nice. last night bestpren set up a blind date for william which he was late for. william didn't know that he was coming to a blind date. so was the other girl, i think. it was all downhill after bestbud, william's security blanket, left the two alone. to cut the story short the date went terribly.

next scene: bestpren is asking william how'd the date go. william answers, "i don't know. i don't know what i did that made the date so... akward." to that bestpren had no retort. but vows that she ain't giving up on william no matter what.

hmmm... i can smell some sexual tension in the air.

clebrity single

dale villar, once a matinee idol(?), is the lead in the newest season of single. dale will try to find love in three months. i think there are five categories how he can choose a date which is, (1)through the internet, (2)a blind date, (3)someone of his own choice, (4)from his friends screening test and (5)ummm... i forgot the last one. i've been a fan of the single series and i'm actually curious how would a "celebrity" fair in this. but i already forsee something that might turn off dale's potential dates. he talks too much. by how much? let's just say that i think he is more talkative than the average woman.

next weeks episode will feature dale going out for the first time finding a date with the cameras dogging him. in the teaser dale sees aliya parcs and a friend seated at the temple bar and proceeds to talk her. hmmm... maka-iskor kaya ang mokong?
