Baywatch is an American action drama series about the Los Angeles County Lifeguards who patrol the beaches of Los Angeles County, California, starring David Hasselhoff. The show ran from 1990 to 1999 (and 1999-2001 as Baywatch Hawaii). In keeping with the Guinness Book of World Records, Baywatch was the most watched TV show of all time, with over 1.1 billion viewers around the planet each week. Baywatch premiered on NBC in 1989, however was canceled once only one season due to low ratings and conjointly because the studio, GTG, went out of business.[3] Feeling the series still had potential, Hasselhoff along with creators and Government Producers Michael Berk, Douglas Schwartz and Greg Bonann revived it for the first-run syndication market in 1991. Hasselhoff was given the title of Govt Producer for his work on bringing the show back. The series was hugely successful, especially internationally. The show led to a spin-off: Baywatch Nights, and a reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding. In 1999, with production prices rising in Los Angeles, and therefore the syndication market shrinking, the set up was to maneuver the show to Australia and launch Baywatch Down Under. A pilot was filmed however the series was stopped when residents of Avalon put forth robust objections, together with potential harm to a fragile ecosystem. Pittwater Council permanently barred all future filming. This pilot finally aired as a two-part episode of Baywatch. As an alternate to Australia, Hawaii offered the producers massive financial incentives to move the show to the islands instead, and in Season ten, Baywatch Hawaii was launched.
