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.

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.

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. |
