Baywatch

Pluto has a Baywatch channel now. I still haven't sat through a full episode. It wasn't very good.

Long ago, I saw an  episode of a show, maybe Entertainment Tonight, which had a story on one of the producers of Baywatch. The reporter was weirdly impressed that the guy had written the script to an episode. The producer was dismissive. A script is made up of three minute scenes, he said. "I can write a three minute scene."

Now that I've seen it, writing an episode doesn't seem impressive at all. If you can't think of what to do next, just cut to a montage or rescue a swimmer in distress.

It's an even bigger mystery to me why this thing was so popular in Europe.
