message: The link mentions "a source," not that she was officially cast as the article suggests.  Also, it seems odd that she would be "officially cast" six years prior to the script being written - the article (correctly, as far as I know) notes that the current rumors are that Garelick is rewritting the script.  I've heard that as well, but can't find the source any more. ZLMarshall (talk) 06:49, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Baywatch's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "BOM":
From The Hangover: 
From The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie: 
From Baywatch (film): 
From San Andreas (film): 
From Paramount Pictures: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:31, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

message: "Dark Side of the 90's" takes a look at the significance Baywatch" had on '90's culture.  The episode talks about the following:
#Sex sells - Pamela Anderson was a sexual figure during the '90s.  Breast augmentations increased due to Anderson to getting implants.  Anderson has said she regretted getting them.  She had them removed in the early 2000s.  Nicole Eggert was self-conscious about the size of her breasts and got implants.
#Body image - It showcased how they had to have the ideal body.  Body image has been prevalent throughout history especially in western culture.  Jeremy Jackson (played Hobie Buchannon from season 2 through 10) said that once his started getting older and was no longer the cute kid, he felt pressure to get in shape.  He wanted six pack abs.  Zac Efron said that his "Baywatch body" for the film was unrealistic. (A correlation.)
#Worldwide - It aired in 141 countries and was the first American series to air in China (that's a big deal).  It was the most watched series with an estimated 1.1 billion viewers weekly and translated into 44 languages.
Not in the episode, but still should be noted based on impact.
#Streaming - It was remastered and have been distributed in 120 countries on streaming services and on cable.  The most widely distributed show.
#Swimwear - The original Baywatch swimsuit inspired various versions since by swimsuit designers.
If you actually watched the episode, you'd know all of the first three points.  Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 04:12, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is one episode of one (relatively obscure) TV series covering Baywatch significant enough to include in the article? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:14, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Rhetorical question.  I clearly stated why.  I'm sure you are able to understand the impact the show had on '90's culture and that Dark Side of the 90's went into detail about it.  Not sure why repeating myself is necessary.  Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 10:19, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  How does including this enhance a reader's understanding of Baywatch? Is mentioning one episode of one TV series' coverage of the show going to do that, or are there better, more authoritative sources that would do something similar?... I really do not see how this addition helps improve the article or a reader's understanding of the subject in this article. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:13, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

message: The lifeguard and actor Michael Newman (credited as playing himself) is linked to the wrong Wikipedia entry. Michael J. Newman is a judge from the MidWest. Unfortunately a verifiable profile to the real person doesn’t exist on Wikipedia, so I’m going to simply remove the live link. Denstat (talk) 05:04, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
