I'ts a guilty pleasure to watch Baywatch.
But gorgeous babes and good music aside, a lot in this show sucked.
Each episode last 40 minutes but they only have a plot for 25 sometimes 30 minutes. To fill out the void they showed music videos for a total time of ten minutes per episode. And the scenes with Mitch and Hobie were often sugarcoated sweet to the point of vomiting.
The special effects were always extremely lousy done. From obvious set-pieces during hurricanes and earthquakes to rubber-sharks and papermache rocks.
The over-dramatic music in yet another countless rescue were annoying and of course David Hasselhoff were repulsive, a lousy actor and an even worse singer.
The show got a little better during the second season but some likable characters left, others were replaced. Brandon Call did a good job as Hobie but were replaced by the disgustingly cute much younger looking pain in the ass brat: Jeremy Jackson.
John D Cort, my favorite character in the whole series only returned for a few episodes during season 2. He should have replaced Billy Warlock who never really convinced me.
And all the babes did'nt show up until later seasons. Before that it was only Erika Eleniak. She was hot, but not the hottest babe on the show.
I hear of rumors of a remake. I hope they will make it better this time. With more plot, better acting, better effects, more and better action and no music videos. And of course no chick-.flick moments.
score 5/10
