'BAYWATCH' -- THE NUMBER ONE SHOW ON EARTH
TOP-RATED ACTION DRAMA SERIES FROM ALL AMERICAN TELEVISION
SIZZLES WITH SUCCESS IN FOURTH SYNDICATED SEASON

On the sparkling shoreline of Southern California, a small group of lifeguards patrols its surfside beat -- a patch of soft sand, less than a mile long and only several hundred feet wide. Their workdays are packed with action while their off-duty hours are filled with matters of love, relationships and compelling human drama. Through it all, the whole world is watching.

On every continent of the globe - with the exception of Antarctica - a combined total of one billion viewers in more than 110 countries and 195 U.S. cities keep a weekly appointment with the men and women of "Baywatch." Entering its fourth season in syndication from All American Television, "Baywatch" captures the lives, loves and adventures of an elite corps of Los Angeles County Lifeguards. The series has steadily increased its audience and currently ranks among the top three of all syndicated prime time dramas.

"Baywatch" had its origins as a prime time series on NBC before being produced for syndication by All American Television in September of 1990. The program's executive producers - who include the series' star David Hasselhoff - set about to prove that the production of network quality action drama at a fraction of the cost was not only possible but profitable.

Through a combination of careful planning, writing to time, meaningful relationships with the trade unions and plain old hard work, All American Television and The Baywatch Production Company re-wrote the rules in defining a fresh standard of production quality for syndicated programming.

The "Baywatch" audience has come to expect and enjoy not only the spectacular scenery and adventure that surround each episode, but also the stories of the human drama touching the lives of the cast.

David Hasselhoff stars as Lt. Mitch Buchannon, a life-long lifeguard and single father. Lt. Stephanie Holden, Buchannon's superior officer and former lover, is played by Alexandra Paul. Pamela Anderson stars as lifeguard C.J. Parker. David Charvet portrays Matt Brody. New this season are Yasmine Bleeth ("Caroline Holden") and Jaason Simmons ("Logan Fowler"). Returning are Greg Alan-Williams as the tough but lovable police sergeant Garner Ellerbee and Jeremy Jackson as Mitch Buchannon's son Hobie.

"Baywatch" is filmed near Malibu, California at a location that has rapidly become a major tourist attraction, particularly for visitors from Europe and Asia. Interiors are filmed at The Baywatch Production Company's soundstages near Marina del Rey.

Executive producers are Douglas Schwartz, Michael Berk, Gregory Bonann and David Hasselhoff.
