Watching the Bay

With the Baywatch movie coming out soon, you may be wondering "How can I possibly follow the complex plot-line established over the 11 seasons of the original show, plus the reunion movie and Baywatch Nights?"

Or you may just be wondering how much David Hasselhoff's ego has grown since he's sharing a role with The Rock.

Never fear, the internet is here! Specifically Allison Pregler's series, Baywatching. 

 The first taste is free.

This comedian...dare I say Hero?...is watching and reviewing every episode, providing hilarious commentary and behind the scenes context along the way. For example, did you know that Baywatch was basically kept on the air at one point by A&W Cream Soda and Waverunner TM product placement? Or that one of the characters was played by real lifegaurd/Firefighter Michael Newman, whose real rescues were re-created for the show? Or that The Guinness Book of World Records list the show as the MOST WATCHED SHOW OF ALL TIME?!

If you're like me (or the reviewer), you never gave a thought to Baywatch, aside from swimsuit jokes, and never watched the show. This will make you sad you missed the hilarity the first time around. Did you know there's an episode with an Orangutan? Or Gilligan?  Or aliens? Or SEVERAL with Ghosts?

Or Hasselhoff alligator wrestling?

Baywatching is on season 5 of Baywatch at the time of this writing, and has promised to go all the way through Baywatch Nights, so there's a lot of fun left to be had. I can't speak highly enough of Allison Pregler, and this series is hysterical. Check it out!
