At its peak of popularity, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY magazine proclaimed BAYWATCH to be "The Most Popular TV Series in the History of the Planet" and TV GUIDE on its cover stated that it had a billion viewers. After only one season on NBC, it went on to run for nine seasons in first-run syndication. It
also produced a spin-off, BAYWATCH NIGHTS, which only ran for two seasons.

Granted, the show did provide "eye candy" for both men and women. But, as Tim Brooks & Earle Marsh's book THE COMPLETE DIRECTORY TO PRIME-TIME NETWORK & CABLE TV SHOWS stated, "BAYWATCH was not all lightweight fun-in-the-sun. Mitch was locked in an ugly custody battle with his ex-wife Gayle over his son Hobie (he won) ... murderers, robbers, and rapists seemed to stalk the beach with uncommon frequency."

Characters died. In March 1990 Jill (Shawn Weatherly) died from an embolism she suffered while recovering from a shark attack. In February 1996 Stephanie (Alexandra Paul) died from injuries suffered when she was hit by the mast of a sailboat that fell on her during a storm.

In fact, it was the "soap opera elements" that gave the characters some depth and convinced star David Hasselhoff to invest his own money in reviving the series for first-run syndication. Several episodes, in fact, focused on the relationship between Mitch Buchannon (Hasselhoff) and his son Hobie. Hasselhoff once admitted to being "from the Michael Landon school of television." One
member of the regular cast, Michael Newman, was in fact a lifeguard in real life. Over the next decade, several new characters came and went. Eventually, the show moved its locale from California to Hawaii (and was retitled BAYWATCH HAWAII). Relying on a combination of veteran actors like Hasselhoff, Parker Stevenson,Monte Markham and Billy Warlock; and newcomers
who would soon become stars (Erika Eleniak, Nicole Eggert, Pamela Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth, Gena Lee Nolin, Donna D'Errico, Carmen Electra, Brooke Burns, etc.)--plus beautiful scenery and some pretty darn good plots, BAYWATCH just may be one of the most underrated (while, at the same time, one of the most enormously popular) series in the history of television.

What buffoon would include Hogan's Heroes among the 50 worst shows ever?

That came from TV Guide a few years ago. One of their worst lists.

catlover79 · 12-20-2007, 12:04 AM

That list came out in 2002, I believe. That's why the train wreck known as My Big Fat Greek Life (2003) isn't listed. Pink Lady & Jeff was indeed a travesty.

BensonFan · 12-20-2007, 12:24 AM

I haven't seen much of it myself, but there is no way Hogan's Heroes should be on this list at all, let alone at #5. I would guess the person who comprised this list just has a personal dislike for the show because based on its popularity and appeal, there is just no way.

comedyfreak · 12-20-2007, 02:28 AM

Hogan's Heroes is a true classic, they're nuts!

JT · 12-20-2007, 03:01 AM

"Baywatch" was great from about 1989 until...1996. For me, its greatest time was when it was Mitch, Stephanie, Matt, Summer, Garner, and Hobie. That's classic "Baywatch" to me.

comedyfreak · 12-20-2007, 09:16 AM

I didn't mind Bawatch Hawaii.

Ditto - and I don't even watch the show that much!!

bencasey · 12-23-2007, 04:07 PM

The Munsters Today isn't on there and that's the worst show I've ever seen.

Dean Winchester · 12-23-2007, 04:28 PM

I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but it seems like a lot of people are horribly offended by Hogan's Heroes being a show set during WW2 but was comedy (but if that's the case, why aren't people so horribly offended over MASH?). I think the hatred from the show is solely based on PC reasons and not if the show was funny or not.
