Who could forget the episode when the fat lady sat on top of the hole in the ground that the small kid fell into and started farting, poor kid. The best one was when criminals forced Notch to perform in gay **** movies. Best show ever.
Season 3 without Mayor Massengill was a bit weaker than the first two--she was a much better antagonist for Notch Johnson than Porcelain Bidet. But this series never jumped the shark. The plots were rather clever and the bit players(Ellen, Captain Entenille) and the constant sexual undercurrents were always good for a few laughs. Without a laugh track you had to listen carefully, too.
The guest stars--often once-hot actors/actresses--always seemed to be enjoying themselves in the end, too. For a program with so many double entenders, it was just a lot of fun, too.

Undoubtedly jumped on day 1. There was never any quality to this show, just sex and more sex, with an occasional one-liner thrown in. To the adolescent male viewers who tuned in every week, this show must have truly JTS when its two-year run ended, because that meant that they had to go back to getting their **** on the web.
I loved the scene where Notch Johnson's rival, Adolph Manson, told a group of kids," Let's get out of here and go make fun of handicapped people." With lines like that this show should have gotten an Emmey.
Very sad to see this show go. The humor was sophomoric at times, the characters often lame and tired, but the countering of the politically correct 1990's was carried out brilliantly by Howard Stern and his writers.
I loved the anti-PC thrust of this show...especially Notch's favorite charity... "The Notch Johnson Home for Orphans and Retards".
This show was completely unfunny and utterly vile. I had the misfortune of seeing an episode that was about a woman being kidnapped and forced to perform in pornographic films. In short, she was being raped, and the makers of this show think that is a comedic subject.
I loved this show, until they brought in Porcelain Bidet. The character totally didn't fit the show. I missed the character of the Mayor and her gay son Cody. I wish FX hadn't cancelled it. A lot of the humor was one liners that if you didn't listen or didn't have a strange mind, (for example they were in Hawaii and talking about the Volcano "myheinesgonna blow") it just didn't work, it just wasn't funny. Being a little strange I thought it was hysterical. I agree, either you loved it or hated it.
Just because Howard Stern is successful on the radio is not a reason to have him create lame shows like SON OF A BEACH. What was the point of this Baywatch spoof? As an SNL spoof or a movie in the tradition of AIRPLANE or NAKED GUN, I can see it working. As a regular show, it's a one-joke program that ran out of gas pretty quickly. It just didn't work the way NIGHT STAND did. Let's hope Hollywood comes to its senses and prevent Howie from creating more crappy shows.
The broads on this show were awesome (Jamie Bergman, in particular) but this was the shitty slapstick that Howard always claim to abhor.Tim Stack is a wet blanket and the "jokes" were telegraphed. Stern's vanity project had to be a humbling experience considering this show was confined to FX and with all the **** that makes the networks, that had to be humiliating.
I may have found it curiously amusing through some residual pubescent channel. The double entendre gets so thick and annoying at times, though it seems folks want to think it is clever. The disabled professor is downright mean. But I suspect Steven Hawking would be amused by it.
a good concept. the writers must be retards! silly, inane. not funny at all. the only reason this ludicrous show ever got made was because of howard stern and the next time you see him, ask him a question for me: who the hell did he blow to get this piece of crap on television? my 9 year old daughter could write a funnier show. that fact that this show lasted longer than one episode is a testimonial to the stupidity of american television viewers. and oh, yea, to the power of howard stern.
First day. We have seen all this crap in Airplane and the Naked Gun. EVERY joke is predictable and for a 12 year old. Howard's radio show is amazing. He should stay away from TV and film.
It is a sad day, when a creative show like this gets canceled. It just shows that the people in charge are way out of touch. The writers have real balls to put in all the double meaning jokes...at least give them credit for that! The only character that did suck was Amy Weber's. It sucks that it had to go. It was the only show on TV i actually planned to be home for!
