How it feels

Two former Navy SEALs use a high-tech boat to fight crime and go on adventures. One of the heroes is played by Hulk Hogan, and the show has the same vibe as Baywatch.

What happens

Thunder in Paradise is an American action-adventure TV series from the creators of Baywatch, which stars Hulk Hogan, Chris Lemmon, and Carol Alt. This first-run syndicated TV series originally premiered as a DTV feature film in September 1993, then, through a collaboration between Hogan and the Walt Disney Company, ran for one season, which consisted of 22 episodes, from March 25 until November 27, 1994, before being cancelled. In May 1994, during a taping of WCW Saturday Night, Hogan publicly expressed a desire to return to professional wrestling and hinted that he would no longer be a part of the show. The series was later rebroadcast on the TNT cable network. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
