Members soapfan770 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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)/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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?

Members Sylph Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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.

Members Gray Bunny Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 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.

Members All My Shadows Posted February 18, 2011 Members Share Posted February 18, 2011 I always loved the random music videos just dropped into the middle of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
