The end result is a hilarious spoof of the popular lifeguard series, following in the footsteps of the short-lived "Police Squad," which so brilliantly mocked cop dramas.

The exact TV equivalent of a good MAD magazine spoof...

Son of the Beach is a loose, louche parody of Baywatch, and it's actually very funny sometimes. Stern didn't create it but he clearly has a lot of input into the scripts.

Son of the Beach is sophomoric, off-color, tasteless, obvious, sexist and offensive to several races. It's also fairly funny, a cheeky, sunny, goofy, low-budget "Police Squad!" version of "Baywatch" produced by that nasty-talking proponent and arbiter of everything tacky in American mass media, Howard Stern. [14 March 2000, p.E8]

For fans of amply endowed eye candy and anatomy-centered gags of the PG-13 variety, it's Nirvana. [14 March 2000]

Simple. It's not very funny. [14 March 2000, p.1E]

This is too far over the top, and even fans of FX's "The X Show" will find it wearisome after a few weeks. How often can you laugh at a dog humping a woman's leg?
