Like many, I really enjoy HYBPA since its first appearance. It’s a pity that it has been moved to a later time the past few weeks. I gather that Master Chef is getting priority which is also airing for longer and longer times. Although they may entertain but there are so many of these cooking programs, it really needs some regulation.
PLEASE do not allow HYBPA to slip further and further. We need so much to see comedy in order to compensate for horrifying news overloading and to help us keeping our own sanity.
I’m sure many people enjoy it, they even won a Loggie! which means something.
