Hamish and Andy's Gap... in Ratings

There is one thing that I fail to understand when it comes to TV and no, it’s not the relationship between Bert and Ernie, but rather how a show I know plenty of people watch, is found to be so terrible in the ratings.

To say that Hamish and Andy’s Gap Year has fallen from ratings each week, is an understatement, the sizeable drop from the first week to the second week that the show aired is meteoric. Heck, it makes the shoe size (and other parts) of a basketball player seem small.

The premise was simple, a televised radio show with affable Hamish Blake and dashing Andy Lee (a onetime Cleo bachelor of the Year, ladies) in New York doing simply random shenagins.

As a self confessed Hamish and Andy fan I fail to see why the larrikins did not catch on, sure the first episode stunk, really, really bad, but once they got into the swing of things, by showing more of their antics than their awkward presenting skills (they might be men, but presenting on TV is a tad pre-pubescent).

Things picked up (except of Andy in the segment Ultimate Wingman) but apparently the ratings did not.

Why?

I have no clue! And it is infuriating, they had decent guests, comedy routines (pre-recorded) that made a smile turn into a laugh, and then into a concern of regular breathing patterns.

Out of the two men, Hamish, as everyone (should) know is the funnier one, whereas Andy seems to be the lead to the Hamish balloon.

Maybe he should try a serious role? Hamish went off on his own earlier this year?

Thursday night is the final episode of the Gap Year so please watch if it you can readers, it airs on channel 9 at 8:30pm!!!

P.S Ladies, get on this! Watch the programme and find yourself a new fantasy, especially for those nights when he’s drunk and reaching the summit is as hard as climbing Everest. Enjoy ;)
