Baywatching Nights: Symbol of Death 

My theory is that David Hasselhoff tried to make a run for it and injured his leg when the producer's bounty hunters captured him before he could cross the border.

4 more Nights, 96 total Baywatching left. Applause for Allison for making it through 189 episodes so far.

Mitch changed the future, stopping the 1999 apocalypse, and that means the entire world is now his save. In your face, dog Stephanie.

This used to be a detective noir show. Man, that is wild.

I like to think the symbol of death for Nights was when Garner and Lou Rawls left the spinoff. Nights truly were never the same after that

Mitch hurt his leg???? Someone get him a pepsi can stat!!

Mitch asking the random doctor "Do you know what 'it' is?" absolutely floored me.

Hasselhoff broke his leg to escape this damn show and they still made him go back to work.

I'm definitely going to Halloween as "Teague in a drunken stupor" next year. I love the energy, the vibe, the lifestyle. If anyone manages to guess what I am I'll reward them with the German box-set of Baywatch Nights and a tall glass of room temperature milk that's been left out all day!

In the proud tradition of Baywatch I can't wait for the next episode of Nights where i assume Mitch will fully recover from his injury and have a kickboxing match with a ghoul or something

Mitch is literally phoning it in. Ryan did a great job taking the reigns of this alien zombie episode.

Hasslehoff's apathy is legendary, but it seems like all the actors have checked out. Harmon looks like she's mentally flipping through wallpaper swatches for the spare room a couple of times.

This camera is going so Dutch it's sprouting tulips and wearing wooden shoes!

The hospital were concerned because Teague was muttering incoherent nonsense? That’s just Teague on a good day!

It's honestly impressive just how David Hasselhoff could not care less about this show at this point. I can practically feel the apathy in every one of his scenes here despite his more minimal screentime.

How could you not know what 'it' was when Teague so clearly stated in his password that 'It' is 'me'

Hasselhoff pulling a Wesley Snipes in Blade Trinity. "I don't wanna work. Pay me and give my parts to a different character"

“Caroline is sued for being a bad life guard.” How is this the first time that this has happened?😂😂😂😂😂

Teeg's password is actually itsAme, as he is a massive Super Mario fan.

Every time I rewatch this series in the future I'll hear the Kate Middleton / Wonka references and have a huge hit of 2024 nostalgia 😁 I can't believe I've been watching this series since it first started, so many years ago. You're an internet treasure Allison

Hold on, we've been going how long with Teague maintaining some level of dignity? This must be rectified!

I like to imagine that Hasslehoff wanted to do his own stunt for the flower explosion and when he injured himself during that they literally had to write it into the story. Because that makes about as much sense as what they did with this episode.

Oh! This is the "Tegue Goes On A Bender" episode! From the Evenings with Mitch Buchanon podcast!

Mitch Von OUCH MY LEG HURTS Malibu "I hate when flowers explode...especially when I am at the hospital investigating alien rock candy conspiracies with what's her name..."

Baywatch Nights is the gift that keeps on confusing

The aliens over-estimated Earth's most powerful weapon. Mitch's ability to not give a crap.

So genuine question… do you think the X-Files guys knew about this show? Like really, ya think they found out that BAYWATCH, the most popular show on earth, had a spin-off that was now ripping them off? Imagine just watching this episode as you script an episode and go ‘wow… thank god we didn’t write that. Now… we have this episode called first person shooter…’

Every video, I can't believe this was a real show that took up actual air time.

1:00 that's actually Darryl on the run from the Charmed ones

"Mitch and Ryan DUTCH every angle" I had to stop the video and let the laughter stop before I could continue. That was *chef's kiss^ Edit: Mitch Von Malibu: Do you know what "it" is? [he says to a Doctor who could have and SHOULD have put him on a psychological hold] Hey, What is a Living Bernie doing here?

I think the exploding flowers pretty much sums up the episode

I never watched a single episode of the show, but I love your recaps. It’s clear this is where all the interns went to write.

....... the "ow" from Hasselhoff falling over I'm crying

Three consecutive Baywatching videos? Allison, you’re spoiling us.😊

We only have 4 episodes of Nights left: the one where Mitch gets possessed by a demon and Stephanie’s ghost hits him with a semi truck, a wind that turns everyone crazy, the one where they travel to the far future of 2017 and the series finale involving Garner and a psychic (which I assume is not Destiny for some reason). It’s gonna hard to say goodbye to nights and the insanity of it all

OK, this was ridiculous, but I love this shit.

I don't know why, but this is the point where it hit me how bizarre it is that this spun off from the show about people in tight swimsuits bouncing around. It's like if The Practice spun off from Friends.

Three Baywatchings in two weeks?! It's not my birthday!

I laughed out loud when I heard "How am I supposed to reach the canned goods now?!'" and me and you at the same time said "SHUT UP NIGHTS!" 😂 We all know Mitch messed his leg up because he seen the Christmas lights strung up and was like "I'm out of this episode" and the Show's slave-drivers was like "Nope! We have you for more seasons!"

Ryan, on the phone to Agent Mitch: "Come ohwn, Mitch! Ya gotta tell me what to do in an extraordinarily condescending and passive-aggressive manner! I've never had full agency as a character before and I'm lost without male guidance!" Mitch: "Ryan, you know I can't care about anything without my 3rd steak of the day. Lay off." "But Mitch--" "DAMMIT, WILL YOU GET OUTTA HERE?!" *Ryan drops the phone and runs away, whining slightly*

The most interesting thing about Baywatch Nights isn't the shift to supernatural plots. It's the fact that you can see the whole production gradually fall apart starting from the season one revamp. The budget's been stretched to the point of ripping. The writers and producers are flailing, trying to shallowly inject as many sci-fi tropes as they can into limp scripts. And their lead actor's been checked out since his Peter Gunn passion project got absorbed into the Baywatch bonanza. The latter years of Baywatch Nights season two are what it looks like when everything on a show runs out, and the only thing keeping it going is contractual obligations. This show is absolutely depleted. And in a sad way, it makes Baywatch way more interesting than I ever thought it could be.

My theory is that every time Mitch is injured, his power grows like a Saiyan. That's how he went from paralyzed to kickboxing champ. So on the next Nights I expect nothing less than for him to Judo takedown a Sasquatch.

Man, Allisons normal sharp contempt for the show turns into pure hilarious hate in this episode. I love it

Mitch: "Do you know what "it" is?" Me: I used to be with "it" until they changed what "it" was, now what i'm with isn't "it" and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me! It'll happen to you!

You have "My Save'ed" me three times this month. Thank you for your services Lifeguard.

CJ wants to make Baby? Does she miss Eddie that much?

"How about a coffee?" How about SOME INVESTMENT!!!

Mitch changed the time line by swimming against the earth rotation and rotated it backwards as you do

I get that the budget for Baywatch Nights probably wasn't very high. But you know there's a problem when I have to seriously think whether the effects were originally there or it was an edit by Allison to make it look sillier. Maybe the alternative was to cut the catering budget and Hasselhoff got into a fight over it. The leg injuries are the result of a long and gratuitous battle to keep burgers on the menu

I know it's been a chore, but thank you for continuing this series. It honestly keeps getting better.

again, i think hasselhoffs closing line “how about a cup of coffee” wasn’t scripted, he just said it, walked off set and they decided to use it.

I would have absolutely loved it if they brought back the knights templar and some of the other dumb plot points into this episode. Imagine, after little to no contunity whatsoever they try to shoehorn in and resolve all of it in one episode. That would definitely be a Baywatch nights move

Allison, I'm so glad you didn't get hurt by the exploding flowers. Maybe they were sent by the relatives of his frog-hybrid girlfriend

It is a true shame there's not at least 8 more seasons of this show to rip into

I missed the EXTREME NIGHT action! while you weren't watching Baywatch NIGHTS!

I'll say this about Baywatch Nights Season 2, it sure made me LOVE how good Season 1 was by comparison.

I got my girlfriend to start watching Baywatch Nights because of this show! Thank you

This episode should be called Baywatch Nights Curse of the Dutch Angle with Exploding Pop Rocks and Maybe Aliens are Involved.

I can't wait for someone to watch this episode several years from now and have no idea that the "Kate Middleton doppelganger" and "Wonka experience" conspiracy theories were actually things that people understood in 2024. :-D

wow, well, David Hasselhoff wasn't wrong when he said he wanted this to be more like Hockey. I feel my brain getting slapped around. Good episode.

It's typical that even when caught in the explosive blast of an alien crystal, Mitch still sees the need to drag a man in a wheelchair FROM his wheelchair. "My save!"

9:00 Allison spent more time trying to rationalize the timeline than the writer of the episode.

Poor Teeg, drunkenly wandering between different sets. Perhaps the next time he trips will be the stumble home.

2:15 Wait was the Windows Movie Maker sparkle effect actually in the episode or did Allison add that? The fact that I don't know speaks volumes about this show.

06:26 Could a-sworn Ryan drinking the NASA juice Teague is still stumbling around when the opening credits are rolling? The Nights opening credits?!?

12:41 Season 3 huh? I think Clint Howard might have something to say about that. CANCELLED

Thank you for bringing these back, Allison!

11:50 "Ah, yes. Plan 9 deals with the resurrection of the dead. Long distance electrodes shot into the pineal and pituitary glands of recent dead."

I need this today. Thank you Allison.

And let me guess, they DEFINITELY carried over the continuity of the full leg cast to regular Baywatch 😏

Weird that the haunting from Mime Mitch is actually a reminder of a better show.

Mitch broke his leg? Oh no, how ever will he continue his illustrious kickboxing career now?

Lupa’s been on a tear! Eddie “Edgar?/Edward?” Dean would be proud.

"The X-Files is too cerebral; Baywatch Nights is like hockey".

"it" was a hot date with an alien. Teague didn't want to be specific because he was two-timing them.

Mitch what do you know about the big rock candy? The birds and bees and cigarette trees?

Wow, before I watched this video I had your Teague impression saying Romlus and Remus stuck in my head the past hour, so to have that joke come back early in the video made me smile a lot.

Baywatching is my favorite RU-vid series. ❤

This show is more dutch than Battlefield Earth directed by Paul Verhoeven while enjoying legal weed.

As fate would have it I watched Night of the Ripper earlier today. The moment in there when Det. Don gives his first wild theory about what's going on felt so incongrous, given that it was David Hasselhoff doing it. Looking far more committed than he does here. I wonder if Angie Harmon studied it in acting school. Also incongrous was his line 'there was a hassle'. Whatever you say Hoff. In my weekly viewing of main episodes I watched Armored Car on wednesday. In that and the one before I rather started to like Trevor. I think he suddenly clicked as a character. He's Australian and incompetent. But suddenly he's unashamedly Australian. It works. I will miss him. I'm sure Logan will be charmless by comparison but will be a while till I get to season five

I would like to watch this show while I'm incredibly sick sometime, and then rewatch when I'm back to normal, just to see if my fever dream version is wilder than the actual episode

From a helpless kidnap victim to a certified badass, Ryan must be training for the UFC in her down time. Also this episode basically confirmed what we already knew all along...Teague is most certainly an Alien. Also I love how he's stumbling around in the street and knocking over shopping carts and no bystander seems to care enough to be concerned.

Hip-hop hooray!!! It’s a Phellison Porgler day!

What a spymaster he is...itsme.. Garak would shake in his boots!😂

Mitch is incredulous

9:34 Actually, given a certain scene from the 2017 Baywatch movie, “multiverse” might be the canon answer.

Wait... ANOTHER Baywatching Nights ep so soon??? Hell yeah!

I like how they can never decide whether Teague (Teeg?) is a mysterious and eery member of the Illuminati, or you know, JUST SOME DUDE working at the office and hanging around while mentioning stuff he's read at the library.

6:10 that's actually audio captured when dorian gregory was first given the script

Usually I can make sense of what the original frame looked like, even when tilted to avoid copyright. However with all the nonsense Dutch angles used in Nights, you tilting them back to look "normal-ish" only confuses me. Which isn't your fault. In fact if anything, it adds to the utter air of confusion that rests upon this show as a whole.

I'm glad that I have finally experienced what it's like to enjoy an episode of Baywatching Nights while absolutely shitfaced, so thank you for that Allison!

It's Bernie! And he's not dead.

Ok... a lot to process with this one. -Mitch bowls over a man in a wheelchair over an explosion that happened clear across the room in a vase of flowers. -Ryan gets to be a badass! Only to ruin it by calling Mitch every 5 minutes. -Government super spy, Teegue, has a password so insecure that most email carriers won't let you use it. No numbers, no symbols, no capital letters. -Mitch talks to the doctor about the situation as if she has any knowledge of it, or would care if she did. Surely she isn't busy dealing with, oh, I donno, THE EXPLOSION THAT JUST HAPPENED AT HER PLACE OF WORK!? -Teegue is apparently a zombie now. Why not? -Mitch beats up a room full of zombies while on crutches. Honestly, after the paralysis/kickboxing weekend, this doesn't even phase me. -So the alien zombies all die again... except for Teegue. Ah plot armor!

Missed these very much. Thank you

Thanks for making these videos! They are hilarious!

Ignite the night!

I think when Mitch hit the wires with the crutch he was trying to destroy the show, and they just filmed his rage.

So, they remember the lighting alien kid, but not the frog woman, the vampire, the wolfman, that time Donna was abruptly possessed, and the Knights Templar?

When you don't know if anyone else is in the room, Mitch will always clue you in. Always giving Barney Gumble a run for his money.

Hey, guys! Guess what? Baywatch is coming back again with a reboot on Fox, y'all! Let's go, bro! But we don't even have any info on the cast of the new show yet, and they gave it a series order! I don't know what's going over there right now, though!
