'Baywatch' Voted Worst U.S. TV Import Thu Nov 25, 3:58 PM ET AP LONDON - "Baywatch," the sun-bleached saga of Californian life guards, was voted the worst-ever U.S. television import in a British survey released Thursday. Photo E! Online Photo "Baywatch," which starred Pamela Anderson (news - web sites) and David Hasselhoff (news), ran from 1989 to 2001 and was once ranked the world's most popular program, with viewers in 140 countries. Broadcast magazine's poll of about 20 program buyers from British terrestrial, cable and satellite channels acknowledged the appeal of a "series about a muscular lifeguard and his crew of pneumatic young helpers with raging hormones," but condemned "Baywatch" for scripts "of mind-numbing predictability: beachgoer is saved from drowning." Second place in the poll went to "The Anna Nicole Show," the reality program featuring Playboy Playmate turned model Anna Nicole Smith (news - web sites). Southern-fried 1970s hit "The Dukes of Hazzard" ranked third, followed by futuristic James Belushi (news) vehicle "Wild Palms" and anthropomorphic action series "Manimal." The same survey ranked the 25 best U.S. imports, with "The Simpsons," "Dallas," "MASH," "24" and "The Larry Sanders Show" leading the pack. "Broadcast'"s 10 Worst U.S. Imports: 1. "Baywatch" 2. "The Anna Nicole Show" 3. "The Dukes of Hazzard" 4. "Wild Palms" 5. "Manimal" 6. "The Jerry (news - web sites) Springer Show" 7. "Knots Landing" 8. "Falcon Crest" 9. "The Bold and the Beautiful" 10.

Must not be their style. Afterall, the BBC shows on PBS all seem to be about a bunch of snobs in various london department stores. "The worst football halftime show is still better than a soccer game." - Ron "Tater Salad" White. |

Ben there actually is some good British TV shows, you just need to understand their humor. By the way the show I think you are referring to, Are You Being Served, is a very old show. Fender "A woman drove me to drink and I hadn't even the courtesy to thank her". W.C. Fields |

"As Time Goes By". They met just before he left for Korea; written letters got lost; lives went on; they reunited by chance 35 years later; rekindled old flame; lost letter staightening out the whole thing found in Imperial War Museum. There. Now go watch something good, like "Monty Python". <img src=newicons/bounce.gif border=0 align=middle> So, you have trouble. We all have trouble. Build a bridge and get over it. |

If you every get a chance to see a UK sitcom called Bottom, it's a must watch. Two downabout losers sharing a squalid apartment and some of the most eye-watering slapstick humour you will ever see. We're talking mole grips on the nuts, frying pans to the head WWF for hobos... "A .44 magnum beats 4 Aces everytime..." |
