What happens

Ang TV (English: the TV) is a Philippine television sketch comedy variety show broadcast by ABS-CBN. Directed by Johnny Manahan, it stars the child and teen stars. It aired from October 19, 1992 to March 7, 1997, and was replaced by Zenki. The show's format was inspired by its predecessor Kaluskos Musmos, (a popular Philippine kiddie gag show in the 1970s), The Big Big Show as a spiritual processor, and its foreign counterpart The Mickey Mouse Club. Prior to 1992, TV executive Freddie Garcia and ace TV director Johnny Manahan organized the ABS-CBN Talent Center and enlisted a group of kids and pre-teens to create the first ever youth-oriented comedy-variety show in the Philippines. Its phenomenal success in 1993 had ABS-CBN develop provincial versions of Ang TV in Cebu, Bacolod and Davao. The series is currently available online on Jeepney TV's YouTube channel.
