Son Of The Beach
''Son of the Beach'' is an American sitcom that aired from March 14, 2000, to October 1, 2002, on FX. The series is a spoof of ''Baywatch'', with much of the comedy based on sexual double entendres, puns, innuendo and the like. A major running gag portrayed the handsome David Hasselhoff character as a balding, middle-aged, pot-bellied and out-of-shape man who is nonetheless seen by all the other characters as highly fit and attractive. Radio talk show host Howard Stern was one of the executive producers. Synopsis The show centered on the adventures of Shore Patrol Force 30 (SPF 30, a pun on the term '' Sun Protection Factor''), led by the pasty, out-of-shape, clueless lifeguard Notch Johnson (Timothy Stack). The rest of his patrol consists of B.J. Cummings (the innocent blonde lifeguard), Jamaica St. Croix (the ghetto-raised, mix-raced lifeguard), Chip Rommel (the dumb, hunky, muscular male lifeguard who is an obvious parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Kimberlee Clark (the smar ...

The Running Man (1987 Film)
''The Running Man'' is a 1987 American dystopian action film directed by Paul Michael Glaser and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, María Conchita Alonso, Richard Dawson, Yaphet Kotto, and Jesse Ventura. The film's story about a television show where convicted criminal "runners" must escape death at the hands of professional killers is very loosely based on the 1982 novel of the same name written by Stephen King and published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. A lawsuit determined the movie was plagiarized from the French movie '' Le prix du danger'' (1983)(''The Price of Danger'') which was made after Robert Sheckley's 1958 short story "The Prize of Peril", just like the 1970 German TV movie ''Das Millionenspiel'' (''The Million Game''). The 1987 US film is set in a dystopian United States between 2017 and 2019. ''The Running Man'' was a moderate box office success in the United States, grossing $38 million on its $27 million budget, but opened to mixed reviews from critics. A ...
