Noontime Show is the second studio album by the Filipino rock band the Itchyworms, released by Universal Records Philippines on 11 October 2005. A concept album, it mocks traditions of the Philippine mainstream entertainment industry, parodying long-standing elements of Philippine soap operas ("Soap o Pera"), power couples or love teams ("Love Team"), game shows ("Contestant Number One"), love-advice radio shows ("Mister Love"), etc. [1] [2]

Critical reception

In a review for The Philippine Star , Baby A. Gil wrote: "Songs in Noontime Show are amusing, irreverent and has a lot to say about the Filipino noontime variety show on television. Think production numbers, contests, love teams, etc., etc. [...] I admit they can be sarcastic at times and the songs might not sit well with some people. But it is hard to come across albums that effectively combine nice melodies and social commentary in one package, so we might as well enjoy this one." [1]

In 2021, music vlogger Toni Panagu released a video critique on YouTube explaining why he thought the album a work of genius. [3]
