This volume is good for one thing: the rest of season 2. Apparently they knew they were being cancelled and didn't care about season 3 and just tried really hard to blow as much of the budget as possible ( plus the b.j. cummings character is pregnant and that throws off the original dynamic that makes the show hilarious). So, if you are a true fan, buy it, it contains the rest of season 2 which you need and is great. Season 3 can hit the dumpster though.

YES! Finally it is being released! All I have to say is that it's about time. Closure...at last.

WHOO HOO!!! It's about time they released this! The masses have been listened to. Rest assured I have preordered my copy!! This show ended far before its time.

My husband and I both LOVED the first volume. The first disc on Volume 2 carries on the same humor as Volume 1, but after that, it's pretty much downhill. Anita Massengil is gone, and the Porcelain Bidet character that is added to the team is an absolute flop. We are also suddenly and without explanation introduced to a pregnant BJ Cummings, which REALLY throws the humor and flow of the show off. Alas, the true Son of the Beach fan will still find the wisecracks and puns amusing even through the worse episodes. If anything, it's worth getting to complete the show and it's definitely worth it for the rest of Season 2.

This show was one that you either liked or loathed. I liked its combination of dazzling dames, corny humor, ridiculously unlikely plots, and "over the top" acting. I specifically got this season because Amy Webber was in it. An incredible brunette, she didn't have to act too much...the bikini did most of the work. Together with the dour blonde who was in all seasons of the show, the muscleman, and of course Tim Stack and the black actress, this little troupe carried off the show. Yes, the show, on its face, was a spoof of Baywatch, pure and simple. However, Baywatch never had any of the convoluted plots that this comedy series had...they were more like spoofs of Bond films than anything else.

The show was silliness personified...and I loved it.

Go back to the beach for another heavy dose of mindless entertainment and skimpy eye-candy in "Son of the Beach: Volume Two". World famous lifeguard Notch Johnson (Tim Stack) and his well-endowed unit SPF-30 (Jaime Bergman, Leila Arcieri, Kim Oja & Roland Kickinger) protect the sunny beaches of Malibu Adjacent from every day dangers. From executive producer Howard Stern and star Tim Stack, "Son of the Beach" is the side-splitting and raunchy parody of "Baywatch". The half-hour comedy series premiered on the FX Network in the spring of 2000 and ran for three seasons. Due to its crude humor and politically incorrect jokes, "Son of the Beach" isn't for everyone. Its ridiculous storylines and silly acting won't win any awards, but the comedy series does offer an abundance of bawdy sex jokes, obvious genre stereotypes, movie parodies and great low-brow humor. As bumbling life guard Notch Johnson, Tim Stack is very funny and manages to keep the series afloat. These final episodes of "Son of the Beach" feature guest appearances by Jason Alexander, Mark Hamill, Alan Thicke, Vincent Pastore, David Arquette, Adam Corolla, Bill Maher and Gilbert Gottfried.

After 5 years, the final episodes of the FX Network comedy series have finally arrived on DVD in a fine 3-disc set. The presentation of "Son of the Beach: Volume 2" is very similar to the first volume set. All 21 episodes of the second half of Season Two and all of Season Three are presented in their original full screen format. Despite some noticeable grain, the picture quality is good. Its 2.0 Dolby Digital audio is rather satisfactory. The special features in this 3-disc set include DVD menu introductions with series star Tim Stack, audio commentaries by the series creators on eight episodes, 17 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, cast audition tapes, promos, three sexy montage highlights and a table read of the show's pilot. Overall, "Son of the Beach: Volume 2" gets a "B".

I love stupid humor and one liners. If you like stupid humor you have got to get this series. Very funny and the girls are not bad either.

The package came really early. it is a really funny dvd collection. I wish they made more of this series

We've waited 5 years to get some Johnson. The wait was worth it. The second greatest comedy series in the lowbrow category has arrived and is as funny as ever. Notch and his unit bring glory to Malibu Adjacent.
Notch Johnson goes down as a classic in the tradition of Al Bundy.
