Hasselhoff can't even make it on reality TV.

Back in the 80's David Hasselhoff played his only significant part as an actor. He was the star of the show "Knight Rider," right next to a talking car named K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Two Thousand) The show was centered on the idea that "one man can make a difference," and lots of viewers tuned in each week to see what troubles Micheal Knight and K.I.T.T. would face next. 

 After "Knight Rider" ended, Hasselhoff took the main role on "Baywatch" a show that got viewer primarily because of the female lifeguards. (including Pamela Anderson) As a lifeguard and instructor of lifeguards, I find the show to be a disgraceful presentation on the job. I always tell my guards that their job is to stay dry and keep the swimmers from getting into dangerous situations. As far as I can tell from my limited exposure to the show, the Baywatch guards were too busy running on the beach and saving people who were in trouble to keep people from getting into dangerous situations.


After that it was downhill for Hasselhoff's career. He's been relegated to bit parts and making fun of himself on TV and in the movies. He has had some success as a singer, but mostly in Germany. There isn't much more that can be said about him until his recent attempt at a reality TV show.

"The Hasselhoffs" was an attempt by Hasselhoff and A&E to cash in on the name of David Hassellhoff and his attractive young daughters as they all tried to find show-business careers. It was a fair bet on the part of all the parties involved. After all, reality TV has a way of taking even the most worthless concepts and finding an audience for them. Look at how much success Hulk Hogan had with his show. The show should have managed for a little while, but just got canceled after two episodes. Now he is playing Captain Hook. Check out the picture above to see his new look. It's a little scary in my opinion.
