    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Most of the cast weren't even strong swimmers. Pamela Anderson hates water.
    • Goofs
      Episodes were frequently aired out of order this caused no end of problems such as characters getting introductory episodes long after they've first started appearing, characters leave the show and keep appearing in future episodes and romance subplots are almost impossible to keep track of due to the fact that characters could break up in one episode and be together in the next among other things.
    • Alternate versions
      US DVD release replaces some music used in the show, including the theme song. Other releases (ie. the German release by Kinowelt) feature the unaltered episodes.

    It Doesn't Take A Genius To Work Out Why People Watch This Show
    The reason people watch Baywatch is because of the amount of human flesh on show. Red-blooded males such as myself tuned in back in 1989 to see women in bikini's and I am sure there were probably many females who adored David Hasselhoff.

    However, to be fair, Baywatch did have some great stories once you got past the flesh on show. David Hasselhoff did a good job as Mitch Buchanan who was an interesting character. There were some very competent actors and actresses throughout the show.

    There's not really much scope for stories about lifeguards. How many stories can you have around lifeguards saving a person from drowning? Not many. Baywatch also focused on the characters private lives and at times, Mitch Buchanan found himself in battle with the usual bad guys.

    Baywatch was a decent show. There's no denying what the appeal to the show is but in the interests of fairness, it really did have good stories at times.
