Format

There are three groups, each made up of two to twenty-five members (with no age limit), performing a single performance, whether it is a song and/or dance number or an acting performance. Before the performance, at least one member of the group is given 20 seconds to make an introduction in any way that reflects the group, but should end with the clause "It's Showtime!", but in the All Star Barangayan edition, their barangay will be given 30 seconds of their introduction but same process and the barangay with the best introduction will win ₱10,000. After the performance, the judges, as well as members of the audience, rate the group from 1 to 10. Audience ratings do not count, but can influence the ratings to be given by the judges.

A fourth competition spot is randomly given to one of three groups who did not pass the auditions, but are still worthy to perform in the show. After the group's performance, the judges would give a collective yes or no to the group. If the judges give a yes, the group is considered part of the main contest, with the judges' scores to the group's performance to be included in the calculation for the winner. A no would, of course, mean exclusion of the group from the main contest. This segment was removed during season 2. In season 3, during the February 16, 2011 episode, the said segment was returned but no random selection, instead the group automatically performs on stage.

The group with the highest average score from the judges wins and proceeds to the weekly finals. All winners throughout the whole week perform in the weekly finals. Whoever wins in the weekly finals will get the chance to compete in the monthly finals. Lastly, all the monthly finalists compete in a season grand finals.

Season 4 competition is open to everyone who has their talent, not only Groups joining, the competition will also open to Solo, Duo, and Trio performers. The season's change will also have a 1st Runner-Up, every competition, the group or performer with the second highest score will take home ₱20,000

Segments

Aside from the group competition, Showtime has a various game portion of the following:

Current segment

Sample Mo, Premyo Mo

After the audience rates the group, the hosts may randomly choose a person to show off their their score and comment to the group that has recently performed and his/her "sample" talent (Singing, Dancing, Acting, etc.) Depending on entertainment, fags, and other factors, the random five-digit money screen will stop on how much the person wins. The maximum winnings is ₱10,000.00

Discontinued segments

Judges

Five judges will be present for a whole week from Monday to Saturday. They will grade the group performances from ten being the highest, and one being the lowest possible score. Judge Vice Ganda is the only judge who can present his score right after the performance.

Every week, one or more judges will be voted off. In this portion called Hurado o Burado (lit. "Judge or Erased"), the audience and the viewers may evict judge/s through SMS. If a judge gets more than 25% of the total votes, he or she is evicted. Vice Ganda (as a permanent judge) is the only judge who is unevictable from all public votes.

As of May 30, 2011, Any person can audition to become a judge to be called a "Madlang Hurado". The first ever "madlang hurado" is former Showtime contestant, R-Dawn who also appeared in the Lenten Special, and it discontinued because it was also evicted by votes after a week.

Controversies

MTRCB suspension

Showtime was suspended by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) for 20 days. This was due to comments uttered by guest judge Rosanna Roces against certain groups, especially on teachers, heard live on January 7, 2010. As a form of self-regulation, ABS-CBN relieved Roces of her jury duty, but suspension was still served against the show effective January 11, 2010, thus returning on February 1. In the meantime, a placeholder show called Magpasikat would take over Showtime's timeslot.[10] The show had essentially the same format as with Showtime, except that the competing groups were composed of celebrities.

The suspension period, however, lasted only six days after the Court of Appeals issued a 60-day temporary restraining order against the MTRCB on January 15, 2010. The issuance of the order, and therefore the return of Showtime was announced later in Magpasikat.[11][12][13]

On March 26, 2010, MTRCB ordered a total 1-month suspension of the program because of the incident, including the replacement "Magpasikat." The MTRCB also directed the filing of criminal charges against Florida Tan, ABS-CBN vice-president for programming, and other officers "responsible for the violation."[14] Bong Osorio, head of ABS-CBN's Corporate Communications said that the suspension is not yet final and that they are seeking appeal before the Office of the President.[15] However the said variety show wins the case due to the MTRCB has not presented new arguments that would justify a reversal of its previous resolution.[16][17]

Ratings

ABS-CBN's widely popular Showtime was the culprit of the cancellation of GMA's long-running daytime talk show, SiS (TV series) and also the cuplrit of Diz Iz It!'s ratings disaster and its eventual cancellation. The very poor ratings were a factor of in the cancellation of SiS and Diz Iz It! for even in GMA Network's stronghold of Mega Manila, ABS-CBN's Showtime was abled to beat SiS and Diz Iz It! by a huge margin. In the Nationwide ratings and even the Mega Manila ratings, Showtime doubled the ratings of Diz Iz It!, at times Showtime tripled, or even quadrupled the ratings of Diz Iz It!.[18][19] However, when the show was being put to the same airing time of the rival station's Eat Bulaga, its ratings were always overwhelmed by the rival show(Eat Bulaga). Thus, bringing back the show to its original airing time.
