Hasselhoff and Baywatch...

I still think of Hasselhoff as a TV genius. He came up with the concept of Baywatch, then when the networks turned down his idea, he financed it himself and made a big pot of money.
Kind of like Mel Gibson and his "Passion of Christ" - Hollywood had no idea that there were so many people interested in Jesus Christ (imagine that!). So I think he's made about half a billion dollars from it.
And that's the American way (especially in entertainment). If you're right, the public will follow you. And, of course, if you're wrong, we never hear from you. Ya pays yur money and ya takes yer chances.
