It’s Goodbye for Happy Yipee Yehey
It was barely a year ago when Happy Yipee Yehey, ABS-CBN’s nth try to topple long running noontime show Eat Bulaga, was launched. And it’s now coming to an end.
ABS-CBN revealed that Happy Yipee Yehey will be having its last episode on February 4, 2012.
I have watched Happy Yipee Yehey a few times, and I always find myself clicking to another channel since watching the show is ‘painful’. I can feel the strain of everyone in the show following a certain format, throwing jokes that are held back, trying too hard to please the audience.
This is why whenever I have time to watch TV at noon, I prefer Eat Bulaga or some other show in other channels. Eat Bulaga, in comparison, offers free flow of ideas, jokes and friendly discussions, making the show light and fun.
People say it’s because the show has been on air for more than 3 decades that its hosts can already afford to go light and not be try-hards, while others say it’s because the show is light and the hosts aren’t pushing it too hard that made it stay this long. (Chicken or egg, huh?)
