Ratings Hamdi (Reyting Hamdi) (translated)

TV Series · 2002–2003 · 9 people

Hamdi Alkan stars in Reyting Hamdi, a Turkish television comedy that was on the air from the mid-1990s until 2003. It debuted on Kanal 6 on October 19, 1995 as "Özofsayt", and over the years it moved between channels under different names, yet viewers remember it best under this title.

The comedy revolves around the characters Alkan plays, the best known being Gazman, Mazlum and Yarmagül. Gazman is a Superman-style hero who takes off by passing gas, and citizens in trouble phone him to come to the scene. Each week familiar faces from Turkish public life, including singers, models and sports writers, appeared as guest performers. The cast featured Cengiz Küçükayvaz, Özgür Ozan, Necmi Yapıcı, Nurgül Yeşilçay and Melda Gür.

The ninth season began on atv on September 6, 2003. The first three episodes aired in prime time; when ratings slipped, the show was pulled back to the pre-news weekend slot for five more, ending its atv stay on October 25, 2003. On November 1, 2003 it resumed on Show TV, first on Saturdays and then on Saturdays and Sundays, and closed with its final episode on December 20, 2003. Reruns later appeared on Flash TV (2006), Kanal 1 (2007), Malatya Er TV and TV100.

Through different eyes

Yeşilçam Nostalgic A viewer raised on the classics, looking for warm storytelling and strong acting.

Reyting Hamdi is a keepsake of television comedy from the nineties and early two-thousands. The types Hamdi Alkan played, such as Gazman, Mazlum and Yarmagül, stuck in many viewers' memories, and with singers, models and sports writers dropping in as guests each week, it captures the on-screen cheer of an era. But I look for finesse in comedy, and a superhero who takes off by passing gas is too crude for an eye used to the witty humor of the old masters. Alkan's energy deserves credit, but this kind of comedy is not for me.

Family Viewer Asks whether the whole household can watch it; cares about humor and heart.

A sketch comedy built on characters. Children may find over-the-top figures like Gazman funny. But part of the humor rests on crude jokes such as passing gas, and not every family will enjoy that. The show belongs to the early two-thousands, so some jokes may feel dated now. Adults should watch an episode first and then decide.

History & Society Lens Asks about the period, the social background and what the work reflects.

Reyting Hamdi is an interesting window onto the screen culture of private television from the nineties to the early two-thousands. It began on Kanal 6 in 1995 as Özofsayt and carried on over the years under different names on different channels. In 2003, being moved to another slot when ratings slipped and then switching channels almost turns the word in its title, ratings, into its own story. Singers, models and sports writers appearing as guest performers each week shows how celebrity culture intertwined with TV comedy. Its humor rests on character types and exaggeration; it is a show aimed at laughs rather than at the social issues of its day.
