#Baywatch 052 (1992) - 8/10
Cheesy fun.
1️⃣ Baywatch does its version of #TheLittleMermaid, in a story where a princess comes ashore (from a yacht!) to see what life is like among ordinary people.
2️⃣ #LauraHarring (#MulhollandDrive) is the princess and #MauriceRoëves (#DangerUXB, #DoctorWho) is the man chasing her.
3️⃣ First of 2 episodes where #PeterKiwitt has a writing credit. First of 9 episodes directed by #ParkerStevenson.
4️⃣ The a-story is Mitch-centric. And Hobie is heavily involved, too, as the princess charms both of them. The b-story gives some nice material to #RichardJaeckel as Ben.
5️⃣ No sign of Summer, Matt, Stephanie, or Garner in this one. And Slade is pretty much gone from the show, at this point.
6️⃣ CJ appears in a couple of filler scenes. An excuse to get #PamelaAnderson into a really small bikini. She almost doesn’t appear in uniform in this episode.
7️⃣ While the story is cheesy, it is earnestly done. Good performances and music. And the action sequence (chase) at the end looks great.
