Son of the Beach is an American sitcom that aired from March 14, 2000, to October 1, 2002, on FX. The series is a spoof of Baywatch, with much of the comedy based on sexual double entendres, puns, innuendo and the like. The lead character, Notchibald "Notch" Johnson, is a parody of Baywatch's Mitch Buchannon: where Mitch Buchannon is handsome, Notch Johnson is portrayed as balding, middle-aged, and pot-bellied, but is nevertheless seen by all the other characters as highly fit and attractive. Radio talk show host Howard Stern was one of the executive producers.
