Isn't Mitch (Hasselhoff's character) supposed to be dead?

Beautiful people but awful acting!!

The reunion movie wasn't bad, although there were some holes in the plot. They never gave a satisfactory explanation for how Mitch (David Hasselhoff) survived the explosion. Alexandra Paul's dead character having an exact double (thanks to plastic surgery) seemed rather implausible. All in all, I thought the first Baywatch movie, "BAYWATCH: FORBIDDEN PARADISE" (set in Hawaii) was better.

But it was good to see all the cast together again. I always thought BAYWATCH was a better show than the critics claimed. I especially liked the scenes with Mitch and his son Hobie. I have tapes of several episodes (and the first movie). It was more than lightweight fun-in-the-sun. The soap opera
elements gave it more depth than one might think. Who would have thought
that a show that NBC axed after only one season would go on to last nearly
a decade in syndication and become the most watched TV show in the world?
But I think, after David Hasselhoff left the show, it went downhill or "jumped
the shark" (no pun intended).
