Baywatch dubbed 'worst TV import'

[ConservativeStatement]

Surf show Baywatch has won the title of worst TV import of all time in a poll of UK television executives.

[ConservativeStatement]

Apparently some shows from the UPN Network and the WB haven't hit the Brits yet. Lucky them.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Apparently they were watching for the plot and dramatic content.

We are soooooooooooooooo sorry.

Worst but most watched?

[bad company]

Gee, I almost feel as if I backed into their car.

Here's a foreigner's criticism of the US that I can agree with.

[CAWats]

Everyone knows what snobs the British are .

[AirForceMom]

Baywatch dubbed best US export.

[luvie]

Just goes to show you that the Brits aren't completely devoid of good taste--I think they should have burned all copies!

[Bryan]

I see that The X-Files, Twin Peaks and Star Trek were rated among the best TV imports. That's to be expected from a nation of Dr. Who fans.

[streetpreacher]

They were probably upset that there wasn't the obligatory homosexual relationship in every episode.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

and yet its the most watched???

[muawiyah]

The executives are probably all gay. The entertainment industry in UK is rife with them anyway.

Bay Watch was simply not designed to attract such people.
