I don’t have an opinion on Baywatch itself. I never watched it. I also don’t judge people who did. You like what you like, and if this was entertainment for people, well, I get a little annoyed when people judge me, you know what I mean? So a remaster and possible streaming isn’t a big deal for me.
But this is a little bit different: “They have also replaced 300 of the songs featured in the show with modern songs, with the help of composer Corey Larios.” …Yuck. If there’s a better method of making absolutely certain that modern audiences are squirming on their seats, trying to figure out what the mismatch from what they’re seeing and what they’re hearing, I don’t know what that better method would be.
Am I exaggerating? I dunno, maybe? But it’s a 90s show. It should have 90s music associated with it. And, contrary to popular belief, the 1990s and the 2010s aren’t actually interchangeable. I am absolutely not saying that this would be anything like the nihilistic cultural butchery that happened to WKRP in Cincinnati. But it’s not exactly a good thing, either.
I was thinking WKRP too. That was…unfortunate.

On the Gripping Hand, the sister of the female lead (also Playboy centerfold) to the spinoff series “Baywatch Nights” once worked for me.

I don’t want to diagram that sentence either.
Troubling use of “gripping hand” ..
