Synopsis of Baywatch

Baywatch follows a team of lifeguards who patrol the beaches of California. Their job is to watch over swimmers and rescue people who get into trouble in the ocean, but the series goes beyond the workday. Between shifts, the characters face professional challenges and personal relationships that affect how they work as a team. Starring David Hasselhoff, the series was created by Michael Berk, Douglas Schwartz and Gregory J. Bonann, and aired on NBC. The dangers of the coastline serve as the starting point for each story, and rescuing drowning people is one of the most common situations. Each episode explores how the guardians respond to those risks while trying to solve their own problems.

Trivia about Baywatch

The idea came about when Gregory J. Bonann, the show's creator, was on duty as a lifeguard and saved two children of a studio employee at MTM named Stu Erwin.
Bonann initially named it Aquatic Corps for Emergency Service (ACES), before changing the name to Baywatch, the name of the rescue boats that patrolled the bay of Santa Monica.
NBC cancelled it after one season, when it ranked 73 out of 103 programs in the season's ratings.
In the United Kingdom, the series reached 12.85 million viewers in the week ending February 28, 1990.
After surviving through syndication, it reached a weekly audience of more than 1.1 billion viewers, despite negative reviews.
The audience was made up of 65% women, and the largest group was women aged 18 to 34.
An Australian version was planned in 1999, but the Avalon Council, a local town, cancelled any filming, and the pilot episode did not air until a year later.
Will Rogers State Beach was the main filming location, although some scenes were shot in Long Beach and Malibu, California.
