16. Episode 14: Baywatch, Beauty, Blindness and Other Disabilities: The First Wave

In this week's episode, I talked about the TV show Baywatch. The majority of the shows episodes are available on Amazon Prime. It first began on NBC after the pilot movie, Panic at Malibu Pier in 1989. The series started as a police drama on the beach. I also talked about some of my personal missteps on the beach in the 1980s. The show came back in syndication in 1991. With music video montages, and a focus more on personal traumas at the beach, the show became an international hit. I talk about a few of my favorite episodes including ones about the percwption of beauty, blindness, a paraplegic character and deaf inclusion. I then tease about the next episode of the podcast where I will talk about some personal involvement with the show.
