If it ain't broke don't fix it, but maybe even if it is broke, still don't fix it? That would be what Baywatch star Pamela Anderson would tell you, anyway.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Thursday night, Anderson explained that she didn't like the 2017 Baywatch remake with Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson because "let's just keep the bad TV as bad TV." As Anderson explained, "trying to make these movies that are television are just messing with it" and the original show, which ran from 1989 to 1999, was made for a fraction of what a "great movie" costs.
"We had the same explosions, the same scenes in the water. That was the fun part, being creative," she argued. Couldn't agree more! Watch the interview below. Jeva Lange
