** Sinbad himself also got a change in look to make him sexier. In season 1, he was a clean-shaven, short-haired pretty boy. In season 2, he looks more like a [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boy]]: his hair is shoulder-length, he has a five o'clock shadow and his sleeves are a lot shorter, exposing his biceps, along with changing from loose pants to leather ones.

It makes sense, considering said second-in-command is played by a professional wrestler, Wrestling/BretHart, who's no stranger to grabs like that.
