I won't subject the main board to this, but this was so stunning, I just had to share it with everyone. I mean, he's actually popular as a singer in Europe? Wow. No wonder the USA is so hated - we export this stuff.
Hopefully you didn't spit your soda or coffee all over your keyboard or monitor.

At least the 2008 remake of "Knight Rider" (complete with new talking car) didn't make it past the pilot episode.

The man does know his audience, check this out from his Wikpedia entry:
"Hasselhoff returned to television on Baywatch which premiered in 1989. Although it was canceled after only one season, he believed the series had potential, so Hasselhoff revived it for the first-run syndication market in 1991, investing his own money and additionally functioning as executive producer. His contract stipulated royalties to be paid to him from the rerun profits, which gave him the financial liberty to buy back the rights to Baywatch from NBC.
In its second incarnation, Baywatch was much more successful. It ran in syndication for another ten seasons. It was also well received internationally and has been shown in over 140 countries around the world.[citation needed] According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Baywatch is the most watched TV show in the world, with over 1.1 billion viewers. Hasselhoff on the appeal of Baywatch: "I believe the camera photographs your aura, and it also photographs your heart. And I cast Baywatch that way. If you look at Baywatch, just about everybody on that show — even Pamela Anderson — has got a great heart." This success combined with his royalties and his other ventures have placed Hasselhoff's fortune at more than $100,000,000"
