'George and Cecil' to bid goodbye on February 15?


According to a report we had received, the kapamilya sitcom George and Cecil top-billed by Judy Ann Santos and husband Ryan Agoncillo will bid its farewell this February 15 upon the premiere of the network's newest talent-reality show Pilipinas Got Talent. This is truly a sad news amongst the shows solid fans.

The sitcom may not be considered as a phenomenal hit, its ratings is still strong as it consistently beat rival shows from GMA.

George and Cecil is definitely one of the best written and best acted sitcom in the history of Philippine television. It shied away from the common slapstick tendency of Pinoy sitcoms.

Instead, the show relied heavily on the characters' wit and catchy funny lines.

ABS-CBN should think twice before axing the show since this is the only sitcom in their current lineup. A later timeslot could suit the show, perhaps against the fledgling and truly unfunny Marian Rivera-Manny Pacquiao sitcom.
