April 23rd, 1989 - NBC aired the pilot episode of "Baywatch."


It was cancelled after only one season due to low ratings and also because the studio, GTG, went out of business.

It then went into syndication and the rest as they say is television history...

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Baywatch is the most watched TV show in the world of all time, with over 1.1 billion viewers a week
