TV5’s 9:00 p.m. slot on weekends will have a different look this week.
On Saturdays, it’s back to good ol’ Tagalized foreign films through ‘Movie Max 5’. As mentioned in a prior article, ‘KISPinoy’ was abruptly cancelled due to financial losses on the part of blocktimer YU&IQ International.
In the past, TV5’s 9:00 p.m. Saturday slot was filled by either a game show, a sitcom, a reality show, or reruns of former programs. Now with no other options, they decided to go with ‘Movie Max 5’, though it could have been better if they continue to air more recent Filipino films like they did more recently on Sunday nights.
As a result, ‘History with Lourd’, formerly of the defunct KBO block, will move to 10:30 p.m., right before ‘Kaya’. The lone survivor of the KBO block currently airs new episodes since July of this year.
Here’s how TV5’s Saturday primetime schedule will now look like:
7:00 p.m. – LolaBasyang.com
8:00 p.m. – #ParangNormal Activity
9:00 p.m. – Movie Max 5
10:30 p.m. – History with Lourd
11:00 p.m. – Kaya
Then on Sundays, a new sitcom will make its way into the Kapatid network. Titled ‘Misterless Misis’, the series will feature six actresses who will try to cope up with the problems of being single, widowed and divorced women.
‘Misterless Misis’ stars Andi Gomez, Lorna Tolentino, Mitch Valdes, Ritz Azul, Gelli de Belen and Ruffa Gutierrez. The sitcom will be directed by Mark Meily.
In total, two sitcoms will air on TV5 every Sunday night. In addition to the upcoming ‘Misterless Misis’, TV5 also airs ‘No Harm No Foul’, a sitcom starring Ogie Alcasid and a host of basketball stars.
Here’s how TV5’s Sunday primetime schedule will now look like:
6:00 p.m. – Nike Rise
7:00 p.m. – No Harm No Foul
8:00 p.m. – Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
9:00 p.m. – Misterless Misis
10:00 p.m. – Sports 360
This should be an interesting weekend for TV5 and its loyal and happy viewers. Good luck.
