Originally Posted By magnet How could anyone who saw this show forget it? Yes, I remember it. I don't miss it. As far as I can tell, a few episodes have been released on DVD, but not the entire series. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the rest, but if you want to see more -- probably should head out and buy the ones currently available.

In fact, I can't remember much about the show other than Hulk Hogan, some 'ultra high tech boat', and that it was filmed at WDW. However, like watching a 'bad' horror movie for the campiness factor, I couldn't stop watching the show for the same reason. That, and of course trying to figure out where in the World they were filming that particular scene. Consider it a 'guilty pleasure' of mine!

The interviewer kept asking him questions about his father, and if that helped in getting jobs. Chris, though, only wanted to talk about the 'new' show and how it was a kind of 'buddy series'. I never saw the show, I think it was shown exclusivly in syndication.

There was a ticker-tape parade for him at MGM, and a lot of the WCW Monday Nitro shows were filmed there. As for Thunder in Paradise, yes, it was about a ultra-high tech boat...think of it as a non-talking K.I.T.T. Several WCW wrestlers made cameos in the show as well.
