Below the bottom of the barrelReviewed by Roger Long, 2010-02-16
The adjective "bad" is not nearly strong enough to describe this TV
series. Horrible, insulting, stupid, inept... Nope, I just can't
come up with the perfect description. I didn't watch the series
when it was on TV and thought I'd give it a shot on DVD. Big
mistake.
First of all, I've been on a good many resort beaches, and they are
not inhabited by such bevvies of giggly gaggles of young women in
mini-bikinis as we see here. Rather, there are a great many
middle-aged and old people wearing bathing suits that make one want
to look elsewhere. I know because I am one of the latter.
The plots of "Baywatch," what there is of them in the individual
episodes, are silly. They consist of showing nubile, would-be
starlets romping around on sunny California beaches for no
particular reason and body building lifeguards rushing into the
surf with red floats to save some poor fool who only addition to
the story is drowning. Most of the females have no speaking lines
or mercifully few lines, which is just as well. When the girls were
hired, at the urging of Playboy Magazine, I suspect, learning lines
wasn't part of the talents on their resume. Giggling, yes,
speaking, no.
The acting of those with speaking roles is laughable. Of course,
given the dialogue written for them, it is somewhat understandable.
The cast does not include one person who could act. Not one. I
managed to sit through four episodes, and in the immortal words of
Popeye, "I can't stands no more."
I realize that some viewers liked this show, and that it was a
world-wide phenomonon. I also realize that I'll probably get some
nasty comments for this, but so be it.
A MAJOR DISSAPOINTMENTReviewed by Taheen Lopez, 2009-08-07
This 1989-90 Season of BAYWATCH was not what I had expected or
hoped for since the introduction credits didn't have the original
BAYWATCH theme song of "Save Me" by Peter Cetera that was
originally played at the beginning of each of these episodes when
they were on NBC, plus they deleted the previews of most of these
episodes and they even deleted and replaced the original songs of
each episodes with other songs in every episode, plus this DVD
didn't even provide Closed Captioned on top of that either.
Therefore this BAYWATCH DVD was totally not worth it and almost
nothing like it was shown on NBC.
I use to love this show!!!!Reviewed by Holly L. Riffle, 2009-05-24
I was a fan of Baywatch from the begininng. The only thing different is the music, which is not a big deal. The show is good, and the quality of this set is good. If you were a fan of Baywatch, I would recommend buying this set, its how I remember watching it!
The Real First SeasonReviewed by CJ Jade, 2008-08-19
Like almost everyone I was slighly upset when I found out the other first season was really season 2. This season has some of the episodes that made it a classic. Plus it had some of my all time favorite characters; Craig, Gina, Jill, Trevor and Cort. It doesn't have any extras and the episode title is not listed on the DVDs. This does make it kind of hard if you are looking for a specific episode. But that all aside this is a must have for any Baywatch fan.

I'm a brazilian fan (sorry my english), and i buy this Baywatch
first season and i recommend for everyone!
If had legend would be better, but is very easy to understand even
when you aren't from US, UK or Australia.
