Two of the most avid Baywatch fans were TV
characters themselves, namely, Chandler Bing
(Mathew Perry) and Joey Tribbiani (Matt Le
Blanc) from the NBC sitcom FRIENDS
(1994-2004).
These two guys loved the show and
often sat home in their comfortable lounge
chairs staring at the TV screen and watching
the Baywatch women as they ran, bounced and
frolicked in slow motion along the sunny
beaches of Malibu, California (and later, the
beaches of Hawaii).
On one episode, Chandler
sat watching the TV with his pet chick which
he named Yasmine. After a moment, he turns to
his chick and says, "That's Yasmine Bleeth,
she's a completely different kind of chick. I
love you both, but in very different ways."

(An
excerpt from
episode "The One Where Eddie Moves In") |
|
Joey: |
Well OK then.
Was that the oven timer? |
|
Chandler: |
That's right
my friend. It's time for... |
|
Both: |
Baywatch!!
|
|
Joey: |
Oh, can you
believe they gave Stephanie skin cancer?
|
|
Chandler: |
I still can't
believe they promoted her to lieutenant.
|
|
Joey: |
Naa, you're
just sayin' that 'cause you're in love
with Yasmine Bleeth. |
|
Chandler:: |
Well, how
could anyone not be in love with Yasmine
Bleeth? |
|
Joey: |
Hey, hey,
they're runnin' |
|
Chandler: |
See, this is
the brilliance of the show. I say always
keep them running. All the time, running.
Run. Run Yasmine, run like the wind.

TRIVIA NOTE: Pamela Anderson left her role as
Lisa, the Tool Time Girl (1991-93) on ABC's HOME
IMPROVEMENT series to play the role of C.J.
Parker on the BAYWATCH series. Her decision to
leave the show paid off big and she soon became
an internationally known actress and model.
Ironically, although popular all over the world
with one billion viewers in 140 countries, the
series BAYWATCH was ranked as one of the top ten
"worst" US imports into Britain, according to a
2004 poll of UK broadcasting executives in
Broadcast magazine.
The other loser series on
the list were The Anna Nicole Show, The Dukes of Hazzards,
Wild Palms, Manimal,
The Jerry Springer Show, Knots Landing,
Falcon
Crest, The Bold and the Beautiful and
Extreme
Makeover.
The best foreign shows topping the list were The
Simpsons (the "undisputed champion of US
imports") followed by M*A*S*H, 24,
The Larry
Sanders Show and Hill Street Blues.
