So apperently another murderer was saved by Mitch. Did he date her as well?
That girl is obviously in love with Hobie 1, and wants VENGANCE.
CJ, the GREATEST love doctor ever. She can guarantee assholes at your door in a second.
So, you’re dying, and your wish is to be a… Lifeguard? Wow, what’s next, a scoop of icecream? Come on, do something epic, like become Batman, or build a killer robot.
I remember this episode very well. I think it was one of the first episodes I saw in first run. And it’s absolutely ridiculous. Everything other than Hobie’s love plot seems like a contrivance to get running plot threads going for this season. Matt and Summer’s romance just comes literally out of nowhere as does the Mitch and Jackie thing. And is Hobie actually old enough to be working at Jackie’s restaurant?
I actually had a crush on Hobie on this show for the longest time (I’m the same age as him so quit thinking I’m a perv :P) and was actually a bit jealous of this girl in first run. Now I look back and see how much of a dork he actually was and wonder what thirteen year-old me was ever thinking.
And I totally believe Stephanie was in England training their vast numbers of lifeguards…
Why the heck did this show constantly desperately attempt genuine, serious plot lines all the damn time? (Usually the same, like… three or four ones over and over). Nobody watched this show thinking it had any kind of substance!
At least this isn’t the most ridiculous instance of it though, that one with Mitch having the debilitating injury making him paraplegic, and then following it up with what they did was just ridiculous.
That jellyfish was absolutely hilarious. Like 1970s Dr. Who-level bad. But I can forgive Dr. Who because at least it had good writing and acting. Baywatch, OTOH…
Considering the audience of this show was one half kids who though Mitch and co. were legitimately cool and one half horny teenagers ogling the girls in bikinis, I’m surprised there weren’t more prominent younger characters on Baywatch.
Any excuse to include Was Not Was: “Walk the Dinosaur”.
Was that in the episode or added in later? At the time that song was just another 80s party jam, but in retrospect I love it’s big, jazzy, funky energy more now then I did as a kid.
I find it hard to swallow that Hobie was drooling over a stick figure his own age when Life Sized Barbie’s inflatable rafts were only inches from his face.

Yet the Forrest Gump restaurant is still going.

Also, have you hear there’s a Saved by the Bell restaurant running in Chicago right now?
Why is everything in this show regarding romance so awful and creepy?? DX like… EVERYTHING to do with romance in this show! aaaaagh!
I love this series please keep it up, Alison.

Ahh well, this review series is always hilarious.
There was a writer on this show who desperately wanted Hobie to get laid before the character finished elementary school.
It seriously disturbs me how this show kept pushing for child romance. It’s just fucking wrong.

Yeah, but he is Mitch’s son. Any lady will do.
OMG. I lost it the Titanic clip. OMG. ^.^ Also, I was expecting a “Help me Hobie Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.” at some point.
Does anyone have an icepick I can borrow? I need to gouge out my mind’s eye so I never have to think of Hobie’s boner again.
