5.0 out of 5 stars this book doesn't exist, November 22, 1999

By A Customer

Why does this book still appear to be available? I've had it on order through several bookstores since May 1999, but it doesn't seem to exist. It looked to be an interesting, informative, and maybe humorous book on Baywatch-a popular TV program which may be in its final season. I looked forward to reading this phantom book and am disappointed that it hasn't been published.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprised!, October 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Baywatch : Rescued From Prime Time (Hardcover)

A friend of mine gave me this book. (He knows I'm a big fan of Alexandra Paul - she was a Baywatch star - in my opinion she's much sexier than Pamela Anderson.) Anyway, I figured this would just be a fluff piece - a few paragraphs to fill in the space between all the pictures (which are excellent, by the way). To my surprise, I found the book to be quite interesting. Basically it's one guy's story - how he thought up the idea for Baywatch - how he spent years trying to get someone interested - how he fought to get the show back on the air after it was canceled by NBC. I found the story to be downright exciting. Overall, I think you don't need to be a Baywatch fan to enjoy the book - it's a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baywatch: Rescued from Prime Time, October 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Baywatch : Rescued From Prime Time (Hardcover)

Baywatch isn't Shakespear but then again neither is 99.99% of the stuff on TV. Nonetheless, my kids and I enjoy watching the show, and I really enjoyed reading the book. The author - the same guy who created the show - takes the reader through the process of getting Baywatch on the air - first at NBC and then on syndicated TV. I was truly impressed by the sheer amount of work this guy did to make it a success. Clearly he has a work ethic that most of us mere mortals can only envy. And if anyone is interested in a how-to for creating their own TV series, you could get a lot of good ideas from this book.
