House of Ooops

We've come to that point again. The End. All things find theirs one way and the other, so one should just take it, eh? Leave it all behind as people treat their past and just move on, right? We aren't even talking about relationships and people here for we are talking about a TV show. It might not be popular, it might not get the ratings we wish but still it is OUR TV show.

House of Hoops, meet The End.

Sports Desk got the boot then Finish Line found the same fate (Heck, The World's Most Amazing Videos also flirted with a little bit of air time) but all of the above eventually hit the wall.

Is it the ratings, really? Is it even the quality of the show? (i say, doubtful. i challenge thee.) Is it other things that we, the production team have no control? i really don't know. i am even at a loss on their future plans (Them, meaning the bosses and powers-that-be) for this certain show. Of course, somewhere deep down the most basic basketball fan in me wishes that the show will make a return next season. The fact is the show is the only basketball authority on Philippine TV that is complete with highlights, news and features which of course is everything and anything under the NBA.

Vito Lazatin, Bobby Yan and Lia Cruz are some of the better (basketball) hosts as well. Yes, despite Vito's infatuation with Chris Webber, Bobby's bias with the Boston Celtics and Lia's seemingly childlike appearance, they DO know their basketball. And i'll just leave it at that.

House of Hoops airs its final episode tonight over ABC. And i still hope, final for THIS SEASON only. We will see.
