Title: Son of the Beach.... Post by: JPickettIII on June 04, 2007, 09:27:36 PM I have Volume One, does anybody know if they came out with others???
I loved watching that show. John Since no one is replying, I figured I would add this poll. To see if anyone had watched but were too ashamed to admit it. I love the show, but dislike Howard Stern very much. (He helped produce the show.) Title: Re: Son of the Beach.... Post by: Mr_Vindictive on June 10, 2007, 10:40:49 AM I remember catching episodes of the show back around 2000 or so when I first started watching FX. It was decently funny, and a bit crude if I'm not mistaken. Didn't realize it was on DVD. Gonna have to put it in my netflix soon.
Title: Re: Son of the Beach.... Post by: Snivelly on June 10, 2007, 11:51:16 AM My husband watched this religiously, and while it was crude it was a good mockery of shows like Baywatch. The stories were ridiculous, and the main character was so pathetic he was funny. I'd watch it again, but only one episode at a time because it would get old quickly if you overdid it.

Title: Re: Son of the Beach.... Post by: Jack on June 14, 2007, 07:46:27 AM I used to enjoy that show. I usually don't like that crude over-the-top comedy, but that one really worked well for me. Maybe it was that blond babe? That German guy was hilarious, yelling at beachgoers "Achtung! Mach schnell!"
Title: Re: Son of the Beach.... Post by: ratatosk on June 18, 2007, 01:00:20 AM Fine show. Definitely aimed at boys; a little too much snot for me. But Mark Hamill as a cult leader, the Divine Rod, with magic mind control muffins? An episode with Gilbert Godfrey and a character called “Osama Bin Laiden six months before 9-11? The show had some wonderful moments.
I think there were three seasons. I’ve got a boxed set somewhere. Title: Re: Son of the Beach.... Post by: Torgo on June 19, 2007, 09:46:05 PM I saw an episode of this show one time that had a very funny moment on it.
The dumb big breasted blond chick was sitting on a park bench of some sort and was wondering to herself via inner monologue "I wonder what time it is. I KNOW! I'LL LOOK AT MY WATCH!" She then proceeds to look at her wrist watch. I can't remember the rest of the episode but that had me rolling in the floor I was laughing so hard. Title: Re: Son of the Beach....

I did like TIm Stack's show spoofing daytime talk shows, Nightstand. I could see buying that show on disk. |
