Hot Springs Hotel

I catch reruns of this on Show2 and couldn't resist a comment or two. This is one of the corniest shows I've ever seen, and I'd even say it might be numero uno. The plots, characters, and story lines are worse than most porno films. One example is the cheesy theme song that sounds like it was written by a 8 year old, (brother Randy is always horny as hell... at the Hot Springs Hotel... Hot Springs Hotel) Here's a typical story, the three main characters are brother and sister who own a hotel and their busty side kick at the front desk. Well, brother sees a sexy babe follows her to her room and you can guess what happens next, then switch to sister in bed with latest boy friend and she wonders if he sees other women, then switch to scene not related to the story of sidekick in bed with a man she's just met at the gym, then finally a long encounter between sister and boyfriend after he tells her he's not cheating on her. Another story has inspectors threatening to close the hotel, well brother Randy bangs the woman inspector and then the woman inspector shows up with the man inspector in just her bra and thong panties and yeah, you guessed it. It's all so stupid and innate it's hilarious. The women's nude scenes are very nice, and despite other reviews not always silicone based, although the two women who are the main characters are silicone city. Frontal nudity is non-existent, guess this is to get it by the Showtime censors, yeap they have censors too, otherwise uncut Vivid Video movies would have been shown a long time ago. Some of the sex scenes are laughable, in one scene the woman's womanly parts would have had to of been in the middle of her back to make the action possible, in another they would have had to be above her naval. I guess they did this so they could say they were just "nude cuddling" and not in a sex act, once again to slide it by any censors. Anyway it reminds me of that old country music show Hee Haw, which not only tried to be corny, but relished in it. Esp. after this one show with a cheesy "Southern" Girl, with this really bad southern accent, who brother Randy.. well you know. Check this out if you want a good laugh and are not offended by sluts and TnA.

The women of "Hot Springs Hotel" are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen!! Showtime has really outdone itself this time! Kat (Samantha Phillips) and Lacey (Glori Gold) are two of the most perfect looking women that have ever existed, their mere presence on screen will make you wish you had VR to interact with them!! This is basically the best adult comedy on tv today and I hope that more people watch it and that Showtime keeps it running for years to come!

IMDb describes it thus: "Brother and sister, Randy and Kat, own the Hot Springs Hotel and along with Kat's friend Lacey get into all kinds of shenanigans with their staff and customers". This accurately sums it up, through I'd coin a new word, shaganigans.

The star of the show is Randy (Robert Vitelli), a clear case of nominative determinism, plus numerous sexy female staff and guests he seduces with minimum effort. It makes no claim to intellectual rigour, or even competent storytelling, plot hole pedants could have a field day. Randy and occasionally other men make love to girls whose names are not revealed, their role in the story (such as it is) is not explained, and whom we never see again.

I've watched most episodes twice, purely in the interests of research you understand. My infallible babe-ometer registered two which, as it were, give the most bang for your buck:

7 Rock Star. Handsome rock star Trent (Phillip Rhys Chaudhary) checks in to have a rest from female attention, only for several fan club girls to catch up with him. He beds a gorgeous brunette and five minutes later an equally lovely blonde, but not before Randy has opened the batting with a lengthy bath scene.

13 Layout. Randy hits on the idea of an illustrated brochure, possibly motivated by the opportunity to get girls to strip off, naturally he's the photographer. Most notable for an erotic scene with the best looking babe in the series (curly hair, brunette/redhead) didn't catch the name. As is usually the case this happens after barely a minute, so there is time aplenty for another two sex scenes to make up the typical quota.

Hot Springs Hotel is typical of some of the stuff you would find on late night U.S. cable T.V. in the mid-90's. I would only watch this if I happened to be suffering from insomnia or sleeplessness as TMN Canada would show this late at night. This $1.98 series about two siblings and their busty friend who run a hotel where inhibitions run wild is extremely tame compared to the middlecore they show these days. The women are the typical ones you would find in these films with bodies enhanced by David Schwimmer and Chris Cooper. Glori Gold, who plays the busty co-owner, also went to see the Breast Men but sadly has a very unattractive face. The men in this show come off as one-dimensional and the plots are similar to the ones from Faulty Towers but without anything spectacular done with them.

However, there is one huge redeeming factor to see the show. Samantha Phillips! Despite being 31 at the time, Phillips owns as Katherine Matthus. The Kat is one of those women who don't need to shed her clothing to turn you on. She looks delicious wearing the concierge outfit; which consists of the shirt and jacket and a revealing mini-skirt that shows off those awesome legs while her hair is tied up and she wears glasses. She also spends a lot of time dancing in this outfit (the best part of all, by far). It would not surprise me if somebody at WCW may have seen the show as her character was a virtual template for Stacy Keibler's Miss Hancock character when she made her debut in 1999.

I doubt anybody is still showing this as many premium networks have moved to more explicit fare. This could be airing in Canada, though (it was airing in 2004), so if you have TMN you must check one episode and see The Kat dance!

Okay, lots of topless women. But they are all pure silicon. And considering Showtime's other series, its surprising how timid they are about showing lower frontal nudity. Hands and sheets are strategically placed to always cover this up in a way that would never happen during real sex.

The acting is poor and the dialogue putrid. If you see one episode, there is no point in seeing any others. There are much better series out there for soft-core.
