ABS CBN undeniably had rocked noontime shows these days. GMA however ranked number 1 with their show SIS- a talk show with hosts Gelli and Janice de Belen and Carmina Villaroel. Late last year, GMA has to stop the said talk show because when ABS CBN launched Showtime, they became consistently number one on that time slot and GMA has to reinvent programs to match the popularity of their rival station's new show.
Now that Showtime is undeniably number one, GMA put up a new show inspired by Showtime, this was entitled Dis is it. However, reactions towards GMA's new show wasn't all good. People say, including me, that Dis is it is quite boring and so inspired by showtime, they didn't have originality. Also, the contestants they have are a little weak and cannot match the energy of performers on Showtime.
As a viewer, which would you prefer watching? Showtime or Dis is it?

Well I guess GMA has just recently started the show that is why they are a bit awkward to see since I think they are trying to make themselves look original because they can be identified as just a copycat of ABS showtime. So I guess they have to discover something or make some gimiks to outdo what Showtime has started.

but it is no doubt a coppycat of ABS CBN's showtime. GMA has to train their hosts because they are the once responsible for the nice outcome of any show. GMA has a few talent that's why you see same faces from morning to evening.

I'm eversince a Kapamilya, so Showtime is for me. I'll go for the original one. Though I have heard about Dis is it, I haven't seen it yet and I have no time seeing it. I like Showtime best because of its strategy and I love Vice...

..hi.. I have always been a viewer of GMA shows.. Right now, I could say that Dis Is It is one of a different kind and I don't feel satisfied watching it like their other shows.. Its not that thrilling and exciting.. I haven't seen the show in ABS-CBN yet.. maybe next time if I have time.. I only watch TV during holidays.. I'm full time in the office until saturdays..

Being a Kapamilya, I'll go with Showtime!
Besides, it is an ABS-CBN original and GMA's putting up a show just like that is really plagiarism in itself.
It is sad everytime GMA do these things. They are the number in Metro Manila and they can't make a show that will make ABS-CBN follow on their knees?

I too is a Kapamilya and I enjoy the humor of Vice Ganda in Showtime, I don't like the style of the hosts in the other show. They are so boring. LOL!

I love Showtime because of Vice Ganda and Anne Curtis. I find Showtime much entertaining than This is it. This is it tends to bore their audience because it's too obvious that they weren't given much time to fix things up. They just appear in a flash... LOL

i love showtime!!!!!!!!!! i tried to watch diz is it, the song itself is not catchy, and the hosts are not that energetic and fun! the contestants? they're like having street dancing everyday on tv, the colors of their costumes does not match each other example pairing violet with yellow.. ewww. i hate it... the way they dance, lack of energy. the stage? its small and very inspired by the wowowee studio... almost the same... its boring, the audience are not lively to look!
showtime is number 1... i love the hosts and the judges and the energy of the madlang people!

I am a certified Kapuso. But I always feel dismayed when they create shows that are obviously "gaya2x" with the ones on ABS. I don't watch Showtime, as well as Dis Is It. Not my type of shows. haha!
