Plastic forks stuck to hair. Rowdy reporter reeks. The resurrection of Al. Old white boat limps around.
Very odd ep. 5 stars for sheer oddness.

Monster in the Bay
paultapner5 June 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Eighteen months after the end of season one Baywatch returned. In Syndication.
The budget was lower. But this does hide that quite well. Although the number of sponsor companies in the credits is startling.
Craig is conspicious by his absence initially. But you get used to it. Gina is also no longer around. Hobie is now a different actor as the original had a growth spurt. Shauni and Eddie have had those too. But they still whine at each other. There's no mention of that cliffhanger either.
Captain Thorpe introduces veteran lifeguard Ben. Who is the long lost twin brother of Al from the pilot. Possibly. He doesn't want to work switchboard. Then does it anyway.
We also get Devon. Who gets more backstory than Jill managed. And an irksome reporter. Played by Mrs. Hasselhoff.
Then there's Harvey. Who is like Cort crossed with Jeff Altman. One scene only so far. But terrible.
Thank goodness for a Newmie sighting.
This is a two parter so ends on a cliffhanger. It sets up a story of there being a monster in the bay. The cliffhanger is decent.
Once again this isn't bad but the little things annoy. In addition to Shauni and Eddie. Choppy editing. Reporter lady is a bit of a cliche. Things just again don't hang together as well as they could.
Montage sequence tune is quite good though. There's a nice feel of summer at the sea.
Watchable enough. But still not quite all it could be.
