Editorial Review:
After 11 successful seasons as one of the most watched programs in television history, Baywatch is now on DVD. Experience the syndicated series that launched the careers of Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra and Tracy Bingham. David Hasselhoff stars as Lt. Mitch Buchannon, supervisor of the world’s most beautiful lifeguard unit. Episodes in this set are from season 4: Race Against Time part 1, Race Against Time part 2, Lover’s Cove, Blindside, Skyrider, Tentacles part 1, Tentacles part 2, Submersion, Ironman Buchannon, Tower of Power, The Child Inside, Second Time Around, Red Knights, Coronado del Soul part 1, Coronado del Soul part 2, Mirror Mirror, The Falcon Manifesto, Rescue Bay, Western Exposure, The Life You Save, Trading Places, Guys and Dolls. Two bonus episodes from the 1989-1990 season: Second Wave, Message in a Bottle.
Description of Baywatch - Season 3:
The fourth season of Baywatch marks the first appearance of another of the series' iconic, er, figures: Yasmine Bleeth, whose Caroline Holden character (the sister of Alexandra Paul's Stephanie Holden character) became one of Baywatch's most famous babes. The cast also included Pamela Anderson (C.J. Parker), Nicole Eggert (Summer Quinn), Susan Anton (Summer's mother, Jackie), and Wendie Malick (Gayle Buchannon, the ex-wife of team leader Mitch, played by star David Hasselhoff). Combining the usual water rescues and crime-fighting, plus a fair amount of personal melodrama, the fourth season included a romantic triangle among Summer, Matt (David Charvet), and surfer Jimmy Slade (Kelly Slater), a haunted hotel, the Special Olympics (guest-starring Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton), and a proposal to turn the team's adventures into a network series called Rescue Bay.
Yep, we said "fourth season." The set is entitled "season 3," but its count begins with the series' first season in syndication--season 2--so this "season 3" is actually the fourth season, broadcast in 1993-94. Included as a bonus, however, are two more episodes from the first season on NBC, "Second Wave" and "Message in a Bottle." The idea is that by the time seasons 2-11 of Baywatch are on DVD, the bonus episodes will form a completed season 1. In a 13-minute featurette, "Picking Up the Pieces," co-creators and executive producers Greg Bonann, Doug Schwartz, and Michael Berk discuss the challenges of shooting the show on a syndicated show's budget and early auditionees such as Leonardo DiCaprio. --David Horiuchi
Baywatch - Season 3 Reviews:
BAYWATCH BITES! 
2009-08-10 - I used to like this 1993-94 Season of BAYWATCH partly because this was the season when it still had Summer(Nicole Eggert), Matt(David Charvet), and CJ(Pamela Anderson)in it, but now I cant even stand this show anymore since I now realize it was overrated and redundant and constantly changing co-stars on this show every year too, plus the saves and the stories seemed to have become less and less impressive and a lot phonier and phonier every year along with the fact that I now realize that the only thing that kept this show so popular for so long and kept the ratings up for so long was because guys used to watch this show every week just watch the cute female co-stars on this show and all the beautiful girls in bikinis run around in their underwear on the beach, which kind of made BAYWATCH like a tit show along with the fact that BAYWATCH started becoming a show about taking lives instead of saving lives after while since co-stars kept dying off one by one in the last few seasons of this show which disuaded numerous people from wanting to go to Malibu, which also prompted David Hasselhoff(Mitch)to leave the show and have his Mitch Bucanon character die off since this show was running out of steam and was not going in the right direction since BAYWATCH had lasted way too long and had overstayed its welcome along with the fact that the whole cast & crew of BAYWATCH were all obviously getting tired and running out of gas.
No wonder most of the BAYWATCH DVD season box sets are being discontinued by the manufacturer.
Love Baywatch 
2009-01-29 - I love the Baywatch series. Now I need you to put out more seasons of it. I would like to watch them all.
Baywatch series
2008-06-18 - I have seasons 1 and 2 and am waiting(and waiting...) for more in the series. Actually I`m waiting for seasons 5 and on, cause that`s when Yasmine Bleeth enters the show(Yasmine!). A "real" woman not a "fake" one, hint hint. On top of that, the picture quality/resolution should be better too.
where season 4
2008-01-06 - what is taking you so long where is season 4 what are you waiting for 2015
Not what I paid for 
2007-08-29 - Don't get me wrong. I love BAywatch, but I simply can't watch the series on dvd. I feel like I just threw money away, like being cheated on. The theme song has been altered, as have the end credits. And as if that wasn't enough, many of the music clips during the episodes, have other songs. It simply doesn't work, as I've come to love the music montages. I want the true show on dvd, with the original music and montages. If shipping to the US weren't so expensive, I'd ship the three season I have straight back to Fremantle. This is not what I paid for. I guess I'll have to buy the German version.
