15 worse TV Spin Offs

Ah I love a good Baywatch discussion! I do remember watching Baywatch Nights a lot, some strange stuff that was. Oddly enough it's where Eddie Cibrian really got his career start in addition to being Matt Clark on Y&R. I enjoyed Baywatch as a fun show but was really sorely disappointed when Neely was recast and then destroyed(going psycho to stop a homewrecker?) after all that time spent to redeem her from being the vixen to the show's leading heroine. Thank god the later reunion movie made things right.

Yeah, there were characters/episodes I liked about the later seasons, so I don't think the show really tanked until Hawaii. It's been a long time since I saw the post-Steph/pre-Hawaii episodes...back when Spike TV would air it all day long. I liked Traci Bingham's character a lot, but for the life of me I can't remember her name.

I remember when Nights originally aired, but I don't think we watched it because...well it aired at night. We just stuck to the O.G.

Did you all watch that reality show about the washed up teen idols? The kid from Baywatch was on there, he'd done a lot of work to his face, I don't remember his name.

That's Jeremy Jackson..he played Hobie....I saw that show....

[JackPeyton]

Yeah, i would say it was almost 20 years ago, because i remember it and i was pretty young. It wasnt good, but it was Betty!

i LOVED Ellen.

Baywatch is AMAZING!

I truly love that show. Mindless fun.

Ha, no lie that i my alarm for college on my phone... lol.

Hahah well I didn't have access to "the good stuff" (except the ocasional late night movie) and I still found it completely asexual, erect nipples and all Although definitely the attractive people were 95% of the show's appeal.

However Jeremy Jackson WAS a bit of a hearthrob with my twin sister's friends--it's sad to see what he's done to himself.

Saved By the Bell the College Years was, if anything a bit better than the riginal show probably--but that doesn't mean much for a primetime show. Still, it aired while The New Class was airing on Saturdays--now THAT was awful (didn't Diamond go back to that show when College ended)/

[JackPeyton]

I think it depends on how you want to look at it.

Yes, it was a better written, acted, produced show.

No, it was not more entertaining than the original.

So, was it a better show? What makes a show good? The production & details or the overall entertainment factor?

[Sylph]

There you go. Absolutely zero sexual tension between these people. I think their sculpted bodies were actually a minus, it all felt very unnatural and forced. That all was unhelped by preachy, always-do-good, everyone-here-has-magnificent-angel-like-ethics-and-morals stories. And then were those bad pool, underwater scenes. Just atrocious all-around.

[Gray Bunny]

Haha... Yeah, it was fun watching those ocrean scenes where one minute above water they're in a dark dirty ocean, and then suddenly down below it's blue and clear.

[All My Shadows]

I always loved the random music videos just dropped into the middle of the show.
