    Judging from the lone episode sent out for review, Son of the Beach does a reasonably good job of achieving that goal - at the same time that it meets all expectations of sniggering humor. The show clearly never met an innuendo, double-entendre or sex-oriented pun it didn't like. [14 March 2000]

    Welcome to Son of the Beach, a Howard Stern production, where the jokes are as broad and obvious as a beached whale, and where bikini'd female flesh is as plentiful as lip piercings at Lollapalooza. [14 March 2000, p.D04]

    This is too far over the top, and even fans of FX's "The X Show" will find it wearisome after a few weeks. How often can you laugh at a dog humping a woman's leg?
