Instead of joining the hallelujah chorus and spraying religion all over itself, the left could conceivably find common ground with Red Staters by taking a strong stance against sheer tackiness. Maybe if Red Staters and leftists stormed the citadels of the entertainment industry shouting Tacky! Tacky! Tacky! -- a lot of the mindless mayhem, fart jokes and kicks-in-the-crotch gags would vanish from the screen.

DreamWorks to Make 'Baywatch' Movie

The Associated Press Saturday, November 13, 2004; 12:20 AM

LOS ANGELES - "Baywatch" may soon be joining the ranks of "Dragnet," "Starsky & Hutch," "Scooby-Doo" and "Bewitched" on the list of old TV shows made into movies.

Movie rights to the skin, surf and sand series - which starred Pamela Anderson as a sexy lifeguard and David Hasselhoff as her heroic boss - have been sold to DreamWorks SKG.

FreemantleMedia, which owned the rights to the series, announced the deal Friday.

The studio is aiming for a 2006 release, but it's still too early to say whether any original cast members would appear in the film, or whether the story would be played seriously or more for laughs.

"Baywatch" was telecast from 1989 to 2001, during which time its lineup changed several times.
