Why does everyones head look three times too big for their body? What did the photoshop monkeys do? That skinny white guy next to Louie Anderson looks freakish with that huge alien head. This is the most fake looking cast photo I’ve ever seen.

btw, this is what Nicole Eggert really looks like. :stuck_out_tongue: Not much like the cast photo huh?

I totally expected this to be a spin-off/remake of the Tom Hanks/Daryl Hannah movie.

Good Lord that looks like a bucket of suck. I give it 3 episodes before it’s yanked.
Takers?

I don’t think the individuals are 'shopped head/body. I think the photo was assembled from individual shots that do not have matching lighting and scale, so there is an overall weirdness to the eye - you can see that the elements don’t “belong together.”

There might be one or two head transplants in there, though. It’s common enough.

ETA: Bucket of suck? Yep, looks like. The gal on the far right is a decent sack of something rhyming, though.

Fox’s show bombed in January. Can’t imagine why ABC thinks theirs is any better.

Maybe it’s a scripted show that’s a brilliant parody of celebrity reality shows, and nobody’s been smart enough to figure it out yet. That seems more plausible to me than somebody green-lighting a tv show that’s actually about C-list celebs diving.

All I have to say is that Keshia Knight Pulliam is gorgeous.

Thank you ABC. If there was one thing missing in my life, it was definitely Louie Anderson in a bathing suit. I just didn’t know it until now.

Celebrity High Diving? That sounds like a SNL parody.

Kinda like Showgirls?

Ndamukong Suh did save Louie Anderson’s life during the taping of one of these eps. Anderson was fatigued from participating and couldn’t climb out of the pool, Suh saw him going under and hauled him out. I suppose there will be some morbid curiosity for that ep when it airs.

I don’t think they thought anyone would be looking at the heads.

Also, this show need some Big Red Balls!

I for one did not expect her to grow up looking as good as that. She was kind of a stocky child- but damn did everythig come together nicely.
She got a “wow” from me, for sure.

wait…

wait…

wait.
Louie Anderson is alive?

This. The ensemble image is an extremely poor job of pasting a bunch of people past together against a background that isn’t even close to lit the same way as the people in it, so your fake-o-meter pings immediately, even if you’re not quite sure why.

Basically ABC is really cheap when hiring “photoshop” people.

How strong is she, anyway?

She used to be the hot one in Charles In Charge. Meanwhile this is the nerdy one.

There was water left in the pool after Louis Anderson jumped into it? Go figure!

Barely, according to his wikipedia page,

he almost drowned in an episode.

Who knew that Splash would deserve a spoiler box?
