Members SFK Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 Baywatch too prudish? Now there's one for the ages. I never watched that show so I can't say. But I do think elephant in the room sexuality can be very sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sylph Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 But there was no elephant here. No sizzle, no nothing. It was just artificial, stagnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 Elephants 1 & 2 : I see what you're saying, but sex doesn't always have to sell itself. It just has to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 I remember reading at the time that Fox liked that PO5 had a relatively stable, and demo desirable audience. Oddly I think I have moments of Time of Your Life muddled with the Fox show (also from Amy Lippman and with Garner) Significant Others, which I think I liked a bit more.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 18, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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.

Members DRW50 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
