BayWatch was able remain on the air during three decades (80’s, 90’s and 00’s) and throughout that period the female talent lasted an average of two years (Hasselhoff was the only one to make it through the entire series). The ratings would increase each time someone new was added and they will start to dip over time. Each actress who left found their career a little better than it was before the series. The concept of the show was fairly silly, but it worked for some reason.

Obviously Rocket Boom is no BayWatch, but I think the analogy is valid. I never spent much time watching Rocket Boom despite the fact that it is automatically loaded in my video iPod. I did watch a few episodes on a flight from Bangalore, India to London (I was desperate). I had not had a chance to see another episode since, but soon after the termination/resignation of Amanda Congdon and her replacement by MTV VJ Joanne Colan I decided to check out it out again. Joanne was funny, smart and good looking. I most likely won’t watch again until Andrew Baron hires another replacement, but I suspect Rocket Boom will continue and I am sure Amanda will find that her career is just a little better for working on Rocket Boom…
