- Best Known for the Fanservice:
- As a Spiritual Successor to Baywatch, this is to be expected. The show will use any excuse it can to put Val (as well as the other female characters) in a bikini, lingerie, or some other form of sexy outfit.
- The episode "Hard Val's Night" is famous for premiering the music video for "Miserable", which featured a 90 ft Val in a bikini and stripper heels letting the episode's guest stars (Lit) climb all over her butt, legs, and other body parts like a stage. Then she eats them.
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show was very popular in Germany (possibly aided by being a German co-production) with Germany being one of the only places where one can find home releases of the the seasons outside of season 1. And probably why most episodes available on YouTube are of the German dub.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: In the pilot episode, Bryan Cranston plays a sleazy former actor and Dean Norris plays a violent domestic terrorist, a decade before their more famous roles as the Villain Protagonist Walter White and Hero Antagonist Hank Schrader respectively in Breaking Bad.
- Les Yay: Valerie seems just a bit too touchy-feelie with her female co-workers and her best friend.
- The Problem with Licensed Games: The PS1 tie-in game is a boring action game that just consists of a string of slow-paced quick time events. The cutscenes also suffer badly from creepy, dated CGI work.
- Retroactive Recognition:
- Turns out Walter White once ran a VIP protection agency, but decided to take the money and run due to troubles with the IRS.
- Meanwhile Hank Schrader has a hidden past as a leader of a right-wing militia, who decided to kill an actor for mocking him in one of his movies.
- Spiritual Successor: To Baywatch, due to the large amount of Camp and Fanservice, plus Pamela Anderson being a major star in both series.
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Bryan Cranston plays Colt Arrow in the pilot episode, a former TV star who now runs a VIP protection agency, and his sleazy but snarky personality greatly contrasts his far more professional employees. Too bad he disappeared from the rest of the series, and he never got payback for ripping off his employees and fleeing the country due to unpaid taxes.
