I don’t disagree!ZelenskyTheValiant (Ivan) wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 10:38 pmExcept nobody watched either show for the Hoff. They watched Babewatch for the babes and Knight Rider for KITT. Without KITT there would be no show! So comparing a crime-fighting action-adventure show with a futuristic car to lifeguards/babes on the beach is like comparing a Spring Break Cruise to an Apollo Mission to space! But... but... but... they both involve travel of some kind!!Pahonu wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 10:11 pmThe similarity is that they both shared some pretty bad acting… from Hasselhoff.ZelenskyTheValiant (Ivan) wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 4:56 pmYeah but what does that have to do with any similarity between Knight Rider and Baywatch? I don't see any. The Hoff was an actor in both shows and that's it.Pahonu wrote: ↑Fri Jun 09, 2023 3:06 amThe Hoff connection is the point. I worked for two years on the show as a PA, among other things, and he’s a very nice guy in my opinion, but not the best of actors. He was often very melodramatic and overacted often. He also seemed a bit out of touch with the reality that was Baywatch. I believe I have told this story here before. I recall one early morning on location at Will Rogers Beach where the lifeguard headquarters was located, and his apparently genuine disbelief that Ireland had not picked up the syndication rights because the show had too much T&A. He felt it was a very family friendly program! A bit of a disconnect, I would argue.ZelenskyTheValiant (Ivan) wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 7:21 pm
Wow!! How does one clump Airwolf and Baywatch together??? I see no similarities whatsoever!!!
Even Knight Rider and Baywatch have nothing in common except the Hoff!
