Showville was a reality television series that aired on AMC in 2013. The show was hosted by comedian Alec Mapa and featured two judges - Lisette Bustamante, a well-known choreographer, and Jackie Joy, a seasoned theater actress. The idea behind the show was to showcase the unique and local talent in small towns across America.

Each week, the Showville team would travel to a different small town, where they would invite local residents to audition for a chance to perform in a live show, to be held at the end of the week. The auditions were held in front of a live audience, which consisted mostly of the contestants' friends and family members.

During the auditions, Mapa, Bustamante, and Joy would critique each performance and provide constructive feedback to help the contestants improve. The judges would also select their top performers, whom they felt were the most talented and had the most potential to improve.

Throughout the week, the Showville team would work with the selected contestants, providing them with coaching and training to prepare them for the live show. The contestants would work with the judges to polish their performances and make sure they were ready for the big night.

The live show, which was held in a local theater, featured the contestants performing in front of a live audience. The audience would then vote for their favorite performer, and the winner would receive a cash prize and the opportunity to perform at a major event in their hometown.

The show was unique in that it focused on small-town talent, rather than the typical talent that is showcased on reality TV shows. The contestants were often ordinary people with a passion for singing, dancing, or performing, and many of them had never had the opportunity to perform on a stage before. Showville gave them the chance to showcase their talents and fulfill their dreams.

The judges, Mapa, Bustamante, and Joy, were all well-respected in their fields and brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the show. They were also very supportive of the contestants and worked tirelessly to help them improve.

Overall, Showville was a heartwarming and inspiring show that celebrated the talent of ordinary people. It was a refreshing change from the usual reality TV fare, and it was clear that the contestants and judges genuinely cared about each other and the communities they visited. Although the show only lasted for one season, it left a lasting impact on viewers and contestants alike.

Showville is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (9 episodes). The series first aired on May 23, 2013.
