Feeling The Beach On TV

Probably one of the most memorable series ever aired on TV is Baywatch. Viewers got a yearlong taste of summer right in the homes, plus a good watch. And the series was such a hit not only in the US but around the world (even those places without beaches) around the world as well.

Obviously, from the title itself, the series is set in a beach. The TV episodes primarily focuses on the character of Mitch Buchannon, played by David Hasselhoff (also of Knight Rider fame) as he serves as a lifeguard in beach in California. He is join by fellow officers in ensuring the safety, not only of the beach going public, but also of all the people living in their community. Each episode have them resolve incidents ranging from near drownings to hostage takings. The show also explored the various interpersonal relationships between the officers, as well as between Mitch and his son. Hobie (Brandon Call as a child and later Jeremy Jackson as a teenager).

Running for more than ten years, Baywatch was especially popular with the male audiences. After all, you get to see all the girls in swimsuits all throughout the episode the show helped a lot in launching the careers of now famous actresses and models like Pamela Anderson Lee and Brooke Burns. After their appearances in the series, the two became quite in demand for both TV and film. However, it was not only the men who took to the show. The ladies also got to watch Baywatch, mainly be cause of Hasselhoff, but also for the other hunky male life guards.

But the series is not only all about sexy bodies. In fact, it has a very good story to complement the very good bodies. The conflicts are very solid and true to life. And the show had a very good characterization for the cast, which gave them much depth. One of the of the best plot lines in the series is the relationship between Mitch and Hobie. The series saw Hobie's growth from a kid to a young adult, while Mitch tries to raise him alone in the best way he can. This is seen by many audiences as a mirror of their own problems in raising their kids.

The series is very popular that it ran for eleven seasons. After its initial run, the series still enjoys a massive amount of reruns, not only in the US, but also in other countries as well. The show was also popular enough to spawn a spin off entitled Baywatch Nights and a movie. The series also holds the Guiness Book of Record of being the most watched TV series during its time, with a total of 1.1 billion viewers around the globe.

Also, many homages and parodies have been made of its now iconic opening sequence, adding to its legacy.

So if you want to have some nostalgia and feel the beach without going out, the Baywatch DVD is definitely the one you should have with you.

Solving Crimes And Enjoying It

For those that are hooked into those crime and suspense shows and novels, CSI is definitely the best modern day Sherlock Holmes-esque show that you can watch. The show definitely packs all the action that any fan will definitely love, plus all the crime solving puzzles that made the series very popular.

The series, titled in full as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, follows the exploits of members of the Las Vegas Police Department's Crime Scene Investigation team (hence the title). Each episode has the main protagonists as they encounter different cases that come by. The cases range from the simple murder to several bizarre serial killings. The episodes have the team tracking down clues which would lead to the perpetrators. All while trying to resolve their own personal problems.

The series is produced by noted television and film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who is also known for his many action films and reality TV series, such as the ever popular Amazing Race. The series itself has become very popular that it has in fact spawned two sequels which are still running today. The two spin-offs, entitled CSI Miami and CSI New York, each follow the featured cities' own investigation teams in solving cases. Occasionally, there are also crossovers where teams from the other shows guested in a series to help the series protagonists.

The most engaging aspect of the show is the case solving part itself, which most of the show is devoted to. Since the show's department is based on a real life police investigation division, the producers have taken good care to present the investigations in much the same way as real ones do it. Thus you can expect that there will be very intricate details showing the process going on. Those with a faint heart should be warned that some scenes in the crime lab are rather graphic and may not be to your liking.

Luckily you won't be left behind in all the technobabble and the jargon as the show also explains the nature of the procedures that are used. Thus you can easily follow how the case is solved. And what makes this bit even more interesting is that the procedures are actually the real ones that are being used by police forces. You yourself will also be engaged in determining who the most possible suspect is through the clues.

The puzzle solving action is also enhanced by great cinematography. The close up shots really gives you an idea of the grit of the crime at hand. On the other hand, the unusual camera angles that the series uses also greatly adds up to the tone of the show. The show also makes good used of different points of view in telling the story. One particular example, for instance, told the episode's story through the eyes of the corpse being examined.

These makes CSI deserve a place in every fan's DVD cabinet and both fan and non-fan will definitely love its mystery feel.
