I was a fan of Baywatch for most of the 11 seasons it was on TV so I was glad to hear it was coming out on DVD . I bought season 2 only to be dissappointed. Not only are the seasons or episodes not in sequence but that the original music has been replaced. The opening theme song has been changed to some slow boring song that does not match up with the action of the credits. Season 2 episodes of this DVD are actually season 3 and then you get 2 episodes of the 1989 original which should be in the season 1 DVD. I won't be wasting any more of my money until this problem is corrected and the show is put back to it's orginal form.

I bought this season (which really should be season 3) of Baywatch episodes because I am a die hard fan of the show. However, this set of DVD's was very misleading and poorly made. If the show started in 1989, then this set is Season 3 not Season 2. The very first 2 episodes of this season which weren't on the DVDs should have been included. It was the episode where Mitch and Hobie got up to the river to go white water rafting gold country and Shauni gets kidnapped by some gold theives. Plus Eddie and Shauni get married at the very end of the 2nd episode. Very disappointing! The theme song, "I'm Always here" performed by Jim Jamison is not the title theme getting replaced by something very cheesy that doesn't even fit the show. None of the music video songs are the same because I remember every episode from that season like it was yesterday. I will buy the other boxed sets, but the only reason why is because Baywatch was my favorite television show. If First look entertainment is going to make more boxed sets, please bring the old theme song back and place some of the missing episodes on future discs or you will have more disappointed customers. I only gave this set 2 stars because it was my favorite show at the time.

Excellent Transfer to DVD. Video is crisp and sound is above average. Season 2 DVD is actually Season 3 ( I am guessing because all the stars David Charvet, Nicole Eggert, Pam Anderson are featured). You also get 3 episodes from Season 1.

Baywatch was the most popular TV show on the planet in the 1990's. Apparently, Hasselhoff couldnt secure rights to certain songs, so the wonderful original theme song has been replaced by a Hoff original (which is horrible). For under $20 this DVD collection is well worth the price.

What the heck is this? The music is the first disappointment, and this is not season 2. The episodes are mixed in with a later season. For reasons like this one, I really try to get DVD's from the library. I am so glad I didn't buy this. The picture quality is good to me. Maybe because I am older than when the show originally aired, the show seems slow to me. I have found this with some of the shows I actually bought, like the Dukes of Hazard and Greatest American Hero. They just aren't the same. I rate Baywatch as a 1 because of the changing of the music and because the shows seem like they are in random order.

The DVD was shipped very quickly. We received it in good condition. It looks brand new and we are very pleased with all aspects of the purchase.

The picture quality is worse than that of the reruns on TV [Analog Cable, "Low" definition]. The fact that the show is from the 90's isn't an excuse - I've bought DVDs of show from the 60's [some of them "colorized" B&W], and they look much better. I agree with all the criticisms about the theme - even if they couldn't get the rights to the original theme, they still could have found something much better.
Hopefully when they release the other seasons they'll do a much better job.

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.

the seasons are out by 1 the 1st 2 episodes are missing and the original music has been replaced. and is total off the action of the credits.
But the video and audio is good, pitty you have to wait and buy all of the 10 syndicated seasons to get the full network one, and how long until the 1st 2 episodes from pack 1 and 2 and by the looks 3,4,5 are released, or are they just going to be released as movies
