Copycat Alert: GMA will launch Zooperstars opposite Matanglawin!

When will this disappointing copying of shows ever end?

Joey's Quirky World, Matanglawin's original rival will also end this week. For many weeks, Matanglawin has been defeating it like the way ASAP has been beating SOP.

And it will be replaced by a new show!

Here's the description from accesspinoy.com:

Beginning Feb. 28, animals will take center stage as you learn about their abilities like you’ve never known before on GMA 7’s Zooperstars. Hosted by Gelli de Belen, along with Panday Kids’ Julian Trono and Sabrina Man, the animal talent/magazine show puts together six segments to make way for an enjoyable and holistic learning experience.

Can your pet sing, dance, compute, juggle and whatnot? Prove it by competing in Zooperstars, a talent contest judged by animal experts and celebrities.

Then invade the houses of celebrity pet owners in Zooper Sikat. Await a politician’s “painting pig” or know the “famous host” who spoils an Achilles Tang Fish with a 24/7 air conditioner and maid service. Continue meeting other remarkable pets in Zoopah Pets, where the likes of Ava, a wealthy Shih Tzu who threw a grand birthday celebration for the benefit of cats will be featured.

Certainly, animal discovery would not be complete without the PET Files, where interesting animal trivia abound and Zooprise where a mind-blowing animal like a fish with bones that would not bend or a guinea pig with hair as sharp as that of porcupines is tagged as “animal of the week.”

Whoa! This show may sound different but basically, it's also about animals and has an educational theme. Isn't that WAY TOO SIMILAR to MATANGLAWIN?

For sure, some GMA fans will play blind and say that this show is original but seriously, Diz Iz It, 24 Oras Weekends, and now Zooperstars. What's next GMA people?

"Filipinos Have Talent?"

Err..
