"Malibu, CA" is in the same mode as all other Peter Engel Productions; attractive but bland cast - has anyone else noticed that other than "Saved By The Bell" spawning Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Mark-Paul Gosselar (we'll forget Elizabeth Berkley, if it's all right with you), no one's emerged from his shows to go on to anything reasonably higher up the evolutionary scale? - thin scripts, non-lavish production values ("Baywatch" was at least filmed on a real beach) and nothing much for anyone older than the audience this is aimed at. The girls ARE cute, though, but that really isn't enough here.
