Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the beach comes Son of the Beach, an uproarious Baywatch parody that revels in juvenile idiocy, bawdy puns, gleefully tasteless social and ethnic stereotypes, and the skimpiest wardrobe on prime time. Co-creator Timothy Stack is the world's greatest lifeguard Notch Johnson, a paunchy, pasty, middle-aged boy scout who patrols the surf with his team of bikini-clad hardbodies. Former Playmate Jaime Bergman is B.J., a daffy trailer-park bimbo, and Leila Arcieri is Jamaica, a hip-hop honey from the hood. Roland Kickinger provides the hunk factor as the body-building 'breath of fresh Aryan' from the Fatherland, Chip Rommel, and Kim Oja does straight-man duty as the obligatory 'sensible, flat-chested one.'
These well-endowed lifeguards battle the everyday dangers of beach life--toxic waste, insidious cult leaders, mobsters, assassins, and randy sea monsters--and still find time for a racy video fashion show in every episode ('A lingerie party? What would that be like?'). Produced by Howard Stern's company, this anything-goes spoof has all the restraint of a bachelor party with a no-host bar and the energized delivery of a screwball cartoon.
The 3-DVD set features 21 episodes of political incorrectness, including the never broadcast episode 'Chip's a Goy,' in which the studly German sacrifices his foreskin for an Israeli beach babe, and the inspired 'Queefer Madness,' a gonzo remake of The Wild One with David Arquette, Lucas Haas, and Neil Patrick Harris as beatnik rebels on BMX bikes. Ride the big one, daddy-o! --Sean Axmaker

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - APPARENTLY THE LAST GREAT THING HOWARD STERN WILL EVER DO
Buy this box set..Son of the Beach one of the best sitcoms of the last decade, and apparently the last hurrah for the Howard Stern production company, which seems to have ceased operations. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for volume 2, but hopefully it will be released in November. By the way, whatever happened to 'Howard Stern the Teenage Years'? or the "Brother Sam' movie? The Stern saga at Sirius radio hasn't been pretty. We are now in the age of little Jimmy Norton.
Rating: - Volume 2 coming in Nov. 2008
They just announced on the Howard Stern show that volume 2 is finally coming out in November!
Rating: - Give reality a break
Ok, this is pretty low brow humor but the jokes run thick and fast and many could be easily missed by the less astute. Remember that this is a series that poked fun at itself and did so well at it that some times you need to look below the surface and take the humor for what it is; having a good time. It takes all the cornball elements of "serious" tv shows, bundles them up into this clever little show and hurls them back with gusto. If you're a fan of "Aiplane" or "Top secret" this is for you.
Rating: - Son of the Beach Vol. 1
This parody of "Baywatch" is still as funny as it was when it aired on FX. Plenty of double entendre to push the envelope of racy, and those flashback sequences make it a worthy addition to my DVD collection.
Rating: - son of the beach volume 1
I remember seeing this show on television and really enjoyed it.
When I saw this at amazon I bought it as a gift. When I asked the
person how they enjoyed it, they said it was one of the best they
had ever seen. This show is not politically correct, and that
is what makes it sooo good.
