Howard can be funny, but they made a huge mistake giving him so much creative input on this show. Most of the schtick on this show was painfully unfunny, the kind of stuff a 12-year-old would roll his eyes over. It's Howard at his most annoyingly infantile, and it's embarrassing to watch. Stern can pull it off himself, and has in fact parlayed that into a hugely-prominent career, but having him put it in the mouths of other people, universally terrible actors, is a disaster on wheels.
The problem with parodying "Baywatch" is that it's already a parody of itself. It's too obvious a target, and already something that shouldn't be taken seriously. Parody is meant to make something serious into something silly, and of course "Baywatch" is already silly.
This show is strictly for Stern fanatics, the kind of people who undiscriminatingly like everything he does whether it's any good or not. You know the type.
