“E.A.T.” also claimed the fifth spot on the list of top 10 TV programs with the highest ratings on July 1, as per data from Nielsen Audience Measurement, released by GMA Network through its Instagram page.
The pilot episode of “E.A.T.” marked the return of Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, Joey de Leon (TVJ) and their fellow “legit Dabarkads” to national television. This came a month after the TV hosts’ controversial disengagement from TAPE, the production company behind “Eat Bulaga.”
Meanwhile, “It’s Showtime,” which previously held the noontime spot on TV5, also marked its launch on GMA’s GTV channel on July 1. /ra
