Product Description
Baywatch was the global TV phenomenon of the Nineties. At its peak this glossy beach soap was watched by over one billion people in one hundred and forty countries worldwide, with people soaking up the drama of Malibu beach life and taking to the show like lifeguards to water! This is the first time every episode from Season Three - Pamela Anderson's first - has been available in the UK. David Hasselhoff (Knight Rider) is Mitch Buchannon, a single-parent lifeguard who is the mentor for a crowd of hip, young, attractive lifeguards keeping the beach safe for the masses. The series' simple premise caught the imagination of audiences worldwide and the show launched the careers of a number of young actors who would go on to cause heatwaves and set temperatures soaring with their on-screen chemistry, including Billy Warlock, Erika Eleniak, Pamela Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth, Carmen Electra and Tracey Bingham. A landmark TV show that was a ratings smash for over a decade and that still remains a topic of conversation today, this set contains all twenty-two episodes of bikini-clad and sexy six-pack action.

A brilliant series! This is when baywatch really got popular. All the original theme tunes are present and correct. However iv been watching the series and couldnt help noticing that evry episode is on for the same amount of time almost to the very second (42 mins 3 secs). This makes me wonder if the episodes have been cut down to fit a certain time span for whatever reason. I cant think why they would be cut just seems like a strange coincidence. It would be a shame tho if they are cut. If anyone knows for sure pls let me know. I should mention theres nothing on the back cover that says episodes have been cut out but I need to know for sure for peace of mind. Network (the dvd makers) I think are usually pretty good as they have released alot of classic tv drama and comedy dvds. This series also has pamela andersons debut as c.j. Parker (and she looks stunning!) And several other characters that werent in the previous series that make this show so good. It would be such a shame if they have messed with this classic series just for the sake of a few mins.

"Excellent!!". Yet another fantastic series - great action and also covers more sensitive issues. I am so happy that it is now available on DVD. Great Amazon service as always

I LOVED IT
10 Feb 2007
Format:DVD
i bought season 1,2 and 3 and loved them all.. all you people bitching about the music being all bad.. well what do you expect its from the late 80's and early 90's? season 3 is my favorite out of the 3 seasons out so far, but if your buying them it would help if you buy and watch them in order. I cant wait until all 11 seasons are on dvd. This was definaly worth the money!

Badly done- replacement music spoils the show!

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Amazon page makes it clear that this is actually season 4 instead of the 3 it's labeled as, which is annoying, but whatever. The major issue is the music.
As is common for DVDs of shows from this era, getting the rights to the music they included involves a renegotiation and some new payments. Clearly, the powers-that-be decided it wasn't worth it, because they replaced most of the music, INCLUDING THE THEME SONG, with poorly chosen and not particularly good replacements that don't work with the (admittedly already weak) dramatic moments. It's extremely distracting, and makes a weak show even harder to watch- I got this for my boyfriend because he has fond memories of the show and a bunch of VHS tapes that I'd like to get rid of, and he couldn't make it through an episode.
If you actually want to watch this, buy the German print, they love Hasslehoff enough that they've paid for the original music- they even have the American dialog as an option.

Dont buy this!!
25 Aug 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered season 3 because I bought seasons 1, 2 & 4 at amoeba but they didnt have season 3. I got my order & it says season 3 on the box set (which is different packaging & picture covers than the dvd sets i purchased at a legit movie store, so I knew something was up) It turned out it isnt season 3 it's season 4 ): Dont buy this!!! I wasted my money. I order from here all the time & i was surprised.
