Baywatch, at least my favorite seasons, was sexy in a more innocent way. I mean, you got David Charvet and Jaason Simmons, Yasmine and Pam in their prime (and later on, Chokachi and Gena Lee in their prime), so it's all hotness personified, but they were less trashy hook-up material and more girlfriend/boyfriend material. They did a good job, believe it or not, defining the characters. When I watch an ep on YT every now and then, Matt Brody still makes me go :wub:

But it's fun, laid-back TV. Saturday afternoons after a day in the sun, turn on the AC, fix yourself a chilled drink, and watch Baywatch. It's funtimes.

I actually totally agree. It was so white washed that it wasn't even sexy in an elphant in the room way--no wonder it was such a hit in every single country in the world no matter what their moral standards were (or whatever). Trust me, at that age I prob would have happily watched a bunch of pretty people (OK, well men) in swimsuits on tv--but I just couldn't see any appeal in the show. I am a bit sorry I never saw BayWatch Nights especially when it went all supernatural just cuz it sounds like SUCh a trainwreck.

The Lisa clone was only there in the pilot, but she qas quickly written out. I couldnt stand the Jesse clone, Alex. Leslie was alright as a female cast member but thankfully Kelly was added as the third female

IDA, Baywatch was good up through season 8. I LOVED season 8 when Carmen Elektra was added as Lani. After that though, it went downhill and I didnt even bother with Hawaii

As far as Nights goes, I didnt think it was so bad as a kid but seeing it now as an adult, man was that dreadful

Baywatch was all about hot shirtless guys in speedos and sexy females in swimsuits with cheesy plot stories.

Saved by the bell ..the college years...was ok....I lost interest in the show pretty quickly. But I agree with whoever said Zach was hotter in the college years.

I always remember the College Years for the one episode plot about Slater finding his racial heritage (apparently he lost it again), and that cheesy shot of Dustin Diamond in the opening credits, showing his bicep.

I'm standing at the edge of tomorrow...today!!!today!!!today!!!

At that age I had access to "the good stuff" so I agree in that the sexual draw of the show was a waste of time for *me*, but I can see how the sex factor drew the fans it did. But a girl just standing there speaking sweetly and earnestly about a drowning victim while sporting erect nipples, that's what I'm talking about. The kind of elephant in the room sexiness that doesn't need mood lighting and Red Shoe Diaries sax cues. :P

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
    • In fiction there has become an expectation by some that every Black character should represent excellence and perfection. It's not like we are talking about a Tyler Perry show where none of the characters are happy and everyone hates each other with a passion.
    • And on rewatch, I could've done without the unsubtle praising Matt like he was the only one who ever accepted Van as she was...but TPTB and their agendas.  It was totally in character for Vanessa to shut down emotionally until she was alone. While she could be volatile, both she and Henry believed in keeping emotions private.  Thank God it's still Bryan Buffinton in the role for both Henry's and HB's funerals. It just wouldn't have been the same with Ryan Brown, who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Roll My Eyes.
