Baywatch - Series 1 [DVD]

Would like to have the original score and songs as first licensed. Also, would like to see the full end credits of each episode but other than that it is good to re watch old episodes from the first season.Look forward to other seasons becoming available here.

Baywatch starring the 'Hoff' fresh from Knightrider burst onto ITV way back in 1989. There must be few people in the world who have not seen this series if only to see the stunning girls !. It concerns the lives of the Malibu lifeguards who patrol the sun soaked beaches in there tight red swim suits. Over the 22 episodes of this first series they not only battle waves but crime in the area which is a bit far fetched. Having watched some episodes again it stikes me all these years on how flimsy the plot's are. In the first real series episode Hobi who's Mitch's son gets involved with some renegade Jet ski riders who kill a Girl on a surf board. And that really sums up the rest of the series with little to recommend it other than the stunning Erika Elinyak !. I also feel disapointed that the great Theme tune 'Save Me' has been replaced on the set. I presume it's a right's issue again ? but it spoils the whole feel of the series. There are no special features at all so all in all it's a good buy for the real fan but avoid if your not.

Nice to get the original and best season of Baywatch on DVD. However after taking the plunge and buying the set my suspicions were confirmed in that sadly the original opening theme of this series 'Save Me' by Peter Cetera has been replaced on all the episodes by the rights friendly track by Kim Carnes. Which can be heard currently on the UKTVGOLD repeats of season 1. It's not a bad song, but it doesn't fit the visuals as well and it's not better than 'Save Me'. A shame, but what can you do? There is no R1 set of this season as they are starting with season 2 and including episodes of S1 as extras. From what I've read they have also replaced the theme music, even the familiar later theme has been replaced by some Hoff penned monstrosity. There are german releases of Baywatch on DVD, but I don't know if they have the original music or not.If you want series one this set is still worth buying.Update: I understand the german releases which can be bought from German Amazon have the correct theme music. They contain an english soundtrack as well obviously.

I would recommend baywatch

Brought back memories, we used to watch itcwhen it was in the TV, really enjoyed it

Came on time. Good condition. Can’t complain about anything

The dvds were in excellent condition thankyou

Picture quality is not the best, but this one is by far, my favorite season of Baywatch! Billy Warlock and John Allen Nelson are totally worth the price! Love them!
