At its peak of popularity, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY magazine proclaimed BAYWATCH to be "The Most Popular TV Series in the History of the Planet" and TV GUIDE on its cover stated that it had a billion viewers. After only one season on NBC, it went on to run for nine seasons in first-run syndication. It
also produced a spin-off, BAYWATCH NIGHTS, which only ran for two seasons.

Granted, the show did provide "eye candy" for both men and women. But, as Tim Brooks & Earle Marsh's book THE COMPLETE DIRECTORY TO PRIME-TIME NETWORK & CABLE TV SHOWS stated, "BAYWATCH was not all lightweight fun-in-the-sun. Mitch was locked in an ugly custody battle with his ex-wife Gayle over his son Hobie (he won) ... murderers, robbers, and rapists seemed to stalk the beach with uncommon frequency."

Characters died. In March 1990 Jill (Shawn Weatherly) died from an embolism she suffered while recovering from a shark attack. In February 1996 Stephanie (Alexandra Paul) died from injuries suffered when she was hit by the mast of a sailboat that fell on her during a storm.

In fact, it was the "soap opera elements" that gave the characters some depth and convinced star David Hasselhoff to invest his own money in reviving the series for first-run syndication. Several episodes, in fact, focused on the relationship between Mitch Buchannon (Hasselhoff) and his son Hobie. Hasselhoff once admitted to being "from the Michael Landon school of television." One
member of the regular cast, Michael Newman, was in fact a lifeguard in real life. Over the next decade, several new characters came and went. Eventually, the show moved its locale from California to Hawaii (and was retitled BAYWATCH HAWAII). Relying on a combination of veteran actors like Hasselhoff, Parker Stevenson,Monte Markham and Billy Warlock; and newcomers
who would soon become stars (Erika Eleniak, Nicole Eggert, Pamela Anderson, Yasmine Bleeth, Gena Lee Nolin, Donna D'Errico, Carmen Electra, Brooke Burns, etc.)--plus beautiful scenery and some pretty darn good plots, BAYWATCH just may be one of the most underrated (while, at the same time, one of the most enormously popular) series in the history of television.

What buffoon would include Hogan's Heroes among the 50 worst shows ever? :mad:

[dawsongirl]

What buffoon would include Hogan's Heroes among the 50 worst shows ever? :mad:
That came from TV Guide a few years ago. One of their worst lists.

[catlover79]

That list came out in 2002, I believe. That's why the train wreck known as My Big Fat Greek Life (2003) isn't listed. Pink Lady & Jeff was indeed a travesty. :rofl:

[BensonFan]

I haven't seen much of it myself, but there is no way Hogan's Heroes should be on this list at all, let alone at #5. I would guess the person who comprised this list just has a personal dislike for the show because based on its popularity and appeal, there is just no way.

[comedyfreak]

Hogan's Heroes is a true classic, they're nuts!

[JT]

"Baywatch" was great from about 1989 until...1996. For me, its greatest time was when it was Mitch, Stephanie, Matt, Summer, Garner, and Hobie. That's classic "Baywatch" to me.

[comedyfreak]

I didn't mind Bawatch Hawaii.

[waichingliu81]

That list came out in 2002, I believe. That's why the train wreck known as My Big Fat Greek Life (2003) isn't listed. Pink Lady & Jeff was indeed a travesty. :rofl:

yeah, my big fat greek life sucked big time. :lol:

[friendsfan77]

Hogan's Heroes is a true classic, they're nuts!
I agree and I don't even like that show.

[catlover79]

Hogan's Heroes is a true classic, they're nuts!
Ditto - and I don't even watch the show that much!!

[bencasey]

The Munsters Today isn't on there and that's the worst show I've ever seen.

[Dean Winchester]

I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but it seems like a lot of people are horribly offended by Hogan's Heroes being a show set during WW2 but was comedy (but if that's the case, why aren't people so horribly offended over MASH?). I think the hatred from the show is solely based on PC reasons and not if the show was funny or not.

[PlayOn]

I never saw a second of 'Hogan's Heroes' but I heard alot of talk and just from hearing the talk, it shouldn't be on that list. But PC probably is a big part of it.

[Classicshowsgurl15]

I used to watch Barney and Friends all the time when I was a kid. It was very educational. Life With Lucy was pretty good from what I saw of it.

You're right. People seemed to ignore or overlook the fact that it was a satire and always made fun of the Nazis. I figure if the 4 cast members who were Jewish and affected negatively by the war in real life had no problem with the show, then why should anyone else?

Life with Lucy wasn't the worst show ever made...but I've never seen such overacting in a sitcom! Her co-stars were pretty annoying (minus Gale Gordon). And the plots were preposterous.

oh give me a break! that show was nothing but a "sexes" show just shown for what men want women to look like in skippy bathing shouts running around in them sexes,sexes,sexes,

[Corolla]

I hate Home Improvement, thats a show thats depressing and crap at the same time.
I agree. I never liked Home Improvement.

The TV shows I hate the most would have to be Jerry Springer Show and Maury.

[wkomorow]

The Flying Nun is a classic as is Hogan's Heroes. She's the Sheriff wasn't great - but among the 50 worse tv shows of all time - I hardly think so.

[JT]

Watch the first five or six seasons, before the show got the reputation that it has today. It was actually a very different, very sincere show about lifeguards in the early years. It wasn't until the pervs who had nothing to do but play with themselves on Saturday afternoons started to obsess over the bathing suits and stuff that TPTB at the show decided to play on that factor more than actual plots and storylines.

When it was good, it was almost like "Melrose Place" on the beach.

wasn't one of the Nazi guards on the show actually a Holocaust survivor? I remember in grade school watching a documentary about the Holocaust, and he was there and revealed his branding scar.

IMO, if someone who survived the Holocaust could do a sitcom about the Nazis, people who are so horribly offended by the series need to chill out because unlike all the people worried about it being insensitive, one of the stars was actually there.

I believe that was Robert Clary. He also had long-term roles on Days of Our Lives and Young & Restless back in the 1970s-80s.

[gotsmart]

Why isn't 'After MASH' on this list?

Yeah, it was Robert Clary (like Monkia said). Most if not all of his family was killed.

[Zoneboy]

John Banner who played Sgt Schultz was Jewish and a holocaust survivor as well. Werner Klemperer who played Col. Klink was also Jewish.

[livsforluv]

Wow.. I never heard of a lot of these... but the flying nun sounds interesting. ha ha :lol:

[bingbangbaby]

I never got into Hogan's Heroes but obviously others did and it does seem to be a "classic."
Besides the obvious trash like Springer and Maury, I think Cop Rock tops my list. I'm still trying to understand what that was all about and why TPTB thought singing would mix well with crime. :confused:

[LuLu Rogers]

Why isn't 'After MASH' on this list?

Yeah, M*A*S*H is my ALL TIME FAVORITE show, but it's spinoff sucked.

I don't think Hogan's Heros, Hello Larry or The Ropers belong on the list, but that's JMO. The Ropers wasn't that great, but the actors really did try to make it work, it wasn't their decision to do a spinoff anyway, Audra Lindley and Norman Fell wanted to stay with Three's Company.
