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

    • @soapfan770 1995/96 to 1999/2000 were not very good in primetime. CBS and ABC both had primetime mess eras, and that's how NBC got away with their Thursday garbage shows finishing in the Top 10. Remember too that ABC was sold to Disney in 1996.  As for ABC primetime mess era, it started with the Top 10 fallout of Roseanne and ended with the breakout success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Monday Night Football and Home Improvement pretty much kept ABC alive in that era.
    • This show is miles better under the new writers. It's really a condemnation of Carlivati, because he had the characters and history to write good soap. Instead, he turned it into a joke and a farce. I've heard some people says DAYS is now "too talky." Miss me with that stupid analysis.
    • I always wondered if Jackie wasn't going to be recast after being persumed dead... if Marland was going to pair Evie and Justin as a couple reunited in grief over Jackie's death. The one consistent thing I noticed about Evie during those months she was still on the show was that she was kind of a second mother to Phillip after Jackie's 'death' and Elizabeth no longer on the canvas.   But then one of the three interim writer teams decided to pair up Helena with Justin.. which left Evie even less to do than she had at the start of 1983. You're right that Evie was a unique character on the soap.  She was sweet and trusting, yet she had a quiet strength that made it difficult to push her around (at least when the Dobson's were writing her).  The Ben/Amanda/Eve triangle was an interesting triangle because neither of the women were evil... and Ben did have chemistry and a connection with both women.   It had a pretty decent run from 1978/9 to 1982 before Amanda was spun off into her mother's new marriage to Mark as the other woman.
    • Lots of fast-forwarding in today's episode. The best parts were the Lulu and Tracy scenes and Chase in the tank top. And once again, a horrible cliffhanger with Sonny.
    • A very very brief excerpt from a CBS special is up. That's it. @jam6242 Thank you for the lovely Susan article. I adore that photo of her with Denise - such strong yet different personalities on display.  I remember seeing that photo of Denise, Bill and Susan on soap magazines like Afternoon TV. I wonder if they took it or if DAYS did.
    • I think Joss does know the material and maybe just plagiarized some of Emma's data?   Despite all her actions I do think the show pretends Joss is smart and this class is sort of in her new wheelhouse as a degree. Gio playing Carmen was super high pitched to me.  He's a talented musician but that was screechy lol. TBH, we all know I love Sonny to a fault, but I would rather stare at Rebecca Herbst's opening picture for an hour than listen to Sonny and Jason blather on about giving up the mob.  You can't even try to fake me out at this point.
