Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 2 episodes of Baywatch, great DVD
Review: Weard they didn't produce more DVDs of Baywatch. I'd like that. Specially a DVD with episodes that include Yasmine Bleeth. If you liked the series, then the DVD is for you. They took two episodes of Baywatch and made a DVD with them. I personnally loved this DVD since I am a Baywatch Fan. Erika Eleniak is in both episodes, Pamela and Nicole Eggert are in only one of them.
For Baywatchs fans, this DVD is a MUST.

Summary: It's not how it was used to be
Review: When you think this two episodes (from the 2nd and 3rd Baywatch
season) are the same as when they were broadcasted on television, then you are wrong. This DVD version is different comparing it with the tv-broadcast versions.

Let's begin with the featured SONGS. On this DVD
they replaced the original songs "Get up" (Mike and the Mechanics) for another artist. And "Keep me running" (Noiseworks) has been replaced for also another song.
Why? I don't know, perhaps the music-rights for DVD-customers
use was too high, so they used other artists.
Another point is EDITING. On this DVD the edit crew cut off
all the fadeins/fadeouts from each scene. So, the sound
doesn't fade away slowly, but very rough.

Also, many original CASTMEMBERS from the first season (1989/1990) are being replaced by other actors. So, it's not how it used to be. Brandon Call (Hobie - season 1) is not the same as Jeremy Jackson (Hobie - season 2). You'll also miss strong actors like Parker Stevenson, Michael McManus, Holly Gagnier. It seems like they tried to reborn the show, but the classic Baywatch fans (from the first season - 1989), know better, "Nightmare Bay" and "River of no return" are not how
Baywatch was used to be.
