BETWEEN THIS AND JENNIFER LAWRENCE'S OSCAR DRESS, A COMEBACK IS CLEARLY COMING: As part of our continuing quest to note when the
NYT makes strange cultural references, we note that today's edition features,
in the lead of a 1A article, a reference to
Baywatch Nights, the
X-Files inspired spinoff of
Baywatch.
Damn you NYT's paywall!
ReplyDeleteActually, in 1995, Baywatch Nights was a generic private eye show. When that didn't work, they reconfigured it to have Mitch and Angie Harmon and company investigating paranormal cases.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I know this? Because the press conference for the revamped show was one of the very first I ever attended as a critic. Sigh...
