Son of the Beach
Created by Timothy Stack, James R. Stein
On FX
A high-energy spoof sitcom that mines absurdist comedy from the tropes of 1990s action television, built on irreverent humor and a reset-button format.
A parody of "Baywatch" featuring Malibu Adjacent's Notch Johnson, the world's greatest lifeguard (hardly), and his unit SPF-30.
