Product: Baywatch: River of No Return [VHS] (1992)
Rating: 4.0
Nice little DVD
This is a great DVD if you are a fan of the old early-to-mid 90s era of Baywatch. Of course it became utterly useless when they released Season 2,3, and 4 (marked as Season 1,2 & 3 on the DVD packaging) on Region 1 DVD a couple years ago, and the 2 two-part episodes on this set are apart of those seasons. But I still highly recommend it(if you can afford the absurd prices). Why? Nightmare Bay Pt 1 & 2(Season 2 premiere) and River of No Return Pt 1 & 2(Season 3 premiere) are strangely omitted from those releases. Still not sure why. Something about copyrights to these episodes.What makes this so baffling is that River of No Return in particular is a very important episode in this era of Baywatch. It introduces C.J. Parker first and foremost, and it may even introduce Matt and Summer. I don't really recall. More importantly it's the last episode to feature Eddie & Shauni which bridges the gap between Season 2 and 3 and even of more importance, it gives us closure to Eddie and Shauni as to why they aren't in Season 3. Without this episode, the show goes from featuring Eddie & Shauni, then in the blink of an eye, they are gone with no explanation and C.J., Matt, and Summer are now at Baywatch which is how one would see it on the Region 1 DVDs.Having said that, the value of this DVD is worth the asking prices (if you are a fan, of course).
