Baywatch Trivia
Baywatch Trivia by Roxanne McDonald

Trivial to begin with, “Baywatch” still has and had its moments. |
I watched maybe a minute or two of a couple of different episodes of “Baywatch.” Had no desire to waste time or eyesight or brain cells any further than that. But the token bathing beauty pageant that was the Baywatch beach held attractions for everyone from my ex to Joey Tribiani and Chandler Bing. I was one person of few, evidently, who found the vapid characterization, redundant plotlines, and marginal acting undeserving of the attention the boobs and babes culled.
*Once syndicated in 148 countries, “Baywatch” was determined to be one of the most popular shows in the world—with a viewership of some 2.4 billion!
*”Baywatch” was at some point between 1989 and 2000 (when interest finally waned enough that the show was cancelled) showing on every continent except Antarctica (according to IMDB).
*Once the beach and boobs intrigue wore thin and it was finally cancelled, “Baywatch was planned for
re-make/ continuation in Australia, as “Baywatch Down Under.” But ironically, while the premise of the series was to have Hasselhoff and Anderson and crew working with a life-saving organization (according to Wiki), the locals in Avalon, Australia protested the show’s invasion of a “fragile ecosystem”…and the plans were doused.
*With the “Baywatch Down Under” idea done, the production team took the show to Hawaii, where it carried out its last year.
*And regardless of how non-watchers might feel or have felt, “Baywatch” was, as of 2005, the longest-running Emmy Award winner.
