2. Baywatch
You might think it would be difficult to wring eleven seasons worth of content out of a show that's essentially all about T+A. I mean, how many times can you watch some lifeguards do their thing on a beach before the mystery of it all starts to wear off? Will they save the drowning little boy, will he die, will Pamela Anderson finally pop out of her bathing suit? It only takes a few seasons before the audiences start to get a feel for what the answer's going to be. Luckily for viewers, Baywatch was unafraid of thinking outside of the box. These buff protectors of the beach didn't just face your average drownings, shark attacks, and earthquakes. During one season, they pulled a Scooby Doo and solved a series of murders that had been plaguing their peaceful oceanfront community. In another, they team up with a Secret Service agent to prevent an assassination attempt. And in what's probably the most ridiculous excuse for a dramatic episode ever, they
defuse a nuclear bomb. I only wish I was joking.
