The dismal fate of the comedy series, “M3” starring Aga Muhlach and Ai Ai de las Alas shows the dangers of odd pairings that do not produce chemistry on screen.
From the unsatisfactory ratings of the reality dance search “Danz Showdown” starring the SexBomb Dancers and Mark Herras, it is learned that one should not bank on talents who have already outlived their popularity or substitute other talents to create an illusion of stiff competition for a show that is highly identified with a talent’s personality like “Pilipinas Win na Win” replacing “Wowowee.”
However, the lessons can be viewed as hard and fast rules in the television ratings game. Or can they just be charged to experience inasmuch as there is really no accounting for the taste of the television viewers? Just asking…
