History

Goin' Bulilit premiered on February 6, 2005. The show was a spin-off of the 1980s comedy sitcom Goin' Bananas, which starred Christopher de Leon, Edgar Mortiz, Jay Ilagan, and Johnny Delgado.

The weekly show featured various segments, such as "Palarong Pambata" which are children's games, "Use in a Sentence," and "Ano Daw" which are one-liner jokes, as well as parodies of other popular shows including Rated KKK which is a parody of the show Rated K, The Buzz, and Lovers in Pares which is a parody of Lovers in Paris.[1] [2]

In 2015, Goin' Bulilit celebrated its 10th anniversary with the participation of both former and current cast members.

On June 9, 2019, the show was preempted to make way for the airing of ABS-CBN's Binibining Pilipinas 2019: The Grand Coronation Night at 10 p.m.

The show aired the final episode of its first eight seasons on ABS-CBN on August 4, 2019.[3]

The show's first 8 seasons were re-aired on A2Z, Jeepney TV and YeY! Channel on Kapamilya Channel and ABS-CBN TV Plus from 2021 to 2024.

On May 21, 2024, ABS-CBN announced that Goin' Bulilit would return for a 9th season, nearly five years after the show's original run ended in 2019 and four years after its free-to-air shutdown on May 5, 2020. Auditions for the new cast members were held on May 25, 2024.[4] It was also announced that It's Showtime Kids featuring Argus, Briseis, Enicka, Imogen, Kelsey, Kulot, and Jaze, would be joining the program.[5] [6] [7] The show returned as a daily program on Kapamilya Channel, with simulcasts on Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, and All TV, and co-produced by ABS-CBN and All TV respectively.[7] The second incarnation of the show was temporarily put off-air on September 27, 2024, due to a season break, the reruns of Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal temporarily replaced it on weekdays, and the extension of Kapamilya Action Sabado on Kapamilya Channel, Zine Aksyon on A2Z and Jeepney TV sa All TV on All TV on Saturdays, and TV Patrol Weekend extended to a full-hour on both weekends replacing the last 15 minutes of the show. In addition, the podcast show Kuan on One, hosted by Melai Cantiveros will now replace the show on Sundays at 4:30 PM.[8]

The show was created by Edgar Mortiz, who co-directed with his sons Frasco Mortiz and Badjie Mortiz.[2] Roderick Victoria served as the creative manager.
