Baywatch initially faced cancellation after its first season on NBC, but found new life through distribution, eventually becoming the most-watched television series in the world with an impressive weekly audience of over 1.1 billion viewers. Despite constant negative reviews from critics, the series gained enormous popularity and became a significant pop cultural phenomenon, often mentioned and parodied in various media.
