Really, honestly, actually, it isn't all that bad...It's sort of like "Flipper" without the dolphin. Read full review

Judging by its initial effort, it's a harmless, pretty romp. [22 Sept 1989, p.1]

Steve Sonsky

There's no depth in Bodwatch -- er, Baywatch. It is what it is -- a day at the beach. Hunks 'n' Babes with Bodacious Bods, Sullying Sand 'n' Surf with Silly Stories. [22 Sept 1989, p.1]

Matt Roush

Jul 9, 2015

Nothing fishy here, although it is a bit of a wet blanket. [22 Sept 1989, p.5D]

Ed Siegel

Tinker isn't Spelling, which means that Baywatch will do as little for the libido as it does for the brain. [22 Sept 1989, p.29]

Howard Rosenberg

Although the sights are beautiful, the premiere is less a story than a seascape, lacking the dramatic intensity and credible characters necessary to sustain an hour...You suspect that the creators of Baywatch are lifeguards moonlighting as writers. Read full review

This is a great show that aired on channel 17. The show is great because it has David Hasselhoff (The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie) in it. Have yourself a safe time at the beach. And stay near a lifeguard.
