Action. Baywatch is a fantasy.

Timeless.

Iconic.

Just going to let it all hang on now.

Everyone tuned in to watch the show because you knew you were going to see someone sexy.

They had to wear next to nothing.

It was hot.

It was a wild time, and I was a wild chic.

I'm really proud of everything I've done. Almost. Baywatch.

It was a show that took the 1990s by storm.

1.2 billion people weekly. That was the highest volume of viewers of any show ever in the history of television. Baywatch.

Every week, viewers tuned in to see Daring Rescues, carried out by Buff Lifeguards. Take my hand. And blonde bombshells.

We took a lot of crap for those bathing suits, running in slow motion. But everybody Baywatch.

Everybody on the show had to be beautiful. I mean, everybody was pretty.

The show, becoming a cultural juggernault.

There was a reference to Baywatch in almost everything that was a hit. Simpsons.

Why heard it on Baywatch?

American Dad.

Why were you keeping the exciting world of lifeguards from me?

Friends.

Hey, they're running. See, this is the brilliance of the show. I say, always keep them running.

Chandler on Friends, I think, had a crush on Yasmin.

Run Yasmin, run like the wind.

That's the thing that helped Baywatch become even more iconic.

Now, one of television's hottest shows is the subject of the ABC News Studio's docuseries. Series, After Baywatch, Moment in the Sun. That looks beyond the beach, what the cast says was really going on behind the scenes.

You're going up for a leaning roll. There are certain expectations about the way you have to look, and that is it. And that goes today.

Baywatch star Nicole Eggert, who played Summer Quinn, co-produced the four-part series.

These are not just pretty faces with great bodies and red bathing suits. These are human beings with a lot of depth and a lot of personality that didn't really get its time.

The show tracked down more than 35 cast members to reflect on their Baywatch days, like David Hasselhoff.

We're going to see a beautiful boat, a beautiful day, beautiful women, some are good-looking guys.

And Carmen Electra.

I was doing things I never imagined I would do, like tandem surfing. I remember going up in the air and it said, Make yourself look like a ballerina. And then, with perfect form, I looked to the camera and waved. And that is one of my proudest moments out there in the water.

Electra perfecting the Baywatch slow motion run.

I still run in slow motion for people. It's become this worldwide thing.

Carmen Electra would actually show people how to do the slow motion run on shows like Bravo's Watch What Happens.

You run and you breathe and you make it serious. I'm game. I love it. I teach people how to do it. There's a technique to it. It's fun.

But it was Pamela Anderson who rode the Baywatch wave to superstardum.

Pamela Anderson had the light. We saw the light shining from her eyes, shining from the smile.

She moved to Los Angeles and started appearing on the cover of Playboy magazine before auditioning for Baywatch.

I was supposed to go to Baywatch auditions many, many times, but I thought Maria Del Rey was really far away. I'm not a very good driver, and so I never went. I was famous before I got there because I never showed up.

She finally comes in, and she was just wonderful. She was bubbly, and she was beautiful, and charismatic, and sexy.

Anderson landed the part of C. J. Parker.

He watched was fantastic. Bringing my dog to work every day. I couldn't believe that people paid me to go to We caught more attention because of Pam.

Our ratings went from 2.33 rating all the way up to a 10 rating. So we tripled our ratings, and we realized that we had something going here. People watched her.

We all watched her.

I was never really an ambitious person, and I didn't strive to be an actress or to be famous. It all just seemed so surreal. It just seemed like one thing after another, no matter where I went, it just seemed like that's what I was meant to do.

Anderson's Fame only burns brighter when she met Motley Crue drummer, Tommy Lee.

This was a time where people were obsessed with Pam and Tommy.

First, she was Pamela Anderson. Then, after a four-day romance and a white bikini wedding, she was Pamela Lee.

Pamela. These two were meant to be together, Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. And that was just the beginning of a tumultuous and headline-filled relationship filled with ups and downs.

My marriage was hard on everybody on Baywatch. That was difficult on the set with the testarossa spinning out in the driveways and punching out cabinets in the makeup trailer. I think it was hard on everybody.

We always had issues with Tommy Lee being jealous of Pam's relationship with other actors on the show.

The Tinder box only became more explosive when the couple's private sex tape was stolen and released publicly.

It was a total invasion of our privacy. This is sacred. This This is not meant to be on the shelves of Tower Video right now. How is this happening?

Pamela and Tommy were not the only source of controversy for the show. Nicole Eggert says the pressure to stay thin and beautiful was immense.

I was 19, 20 years old. I was much younger than the rest of the cast.

When you're 19, 20 years old, I didn't have to try.

I didn't work out. It just It was like natural. I show up on set and they've got this red bathing suit, and I've never worked out a day in my life. I panicked. I couldn't believe that that's what I was going to be doing. Made me so insecure and just so uncomfortable. I was considered curvy back then, and there wasn't anything I could do about it. I just had a behind on me, and everybody else was these teeny, tiny, skinny things. There was a clause of couldn't gain, couldn't lose 5 pounds. You had to stay within your weight.

We had to stay fit. We couldn't really get cellulite because it's going to show on camera.

So it was a lot of pressure.

It was a lot of pressure.

The men on the show under the same spotlight.

I figured out early on in the show, like, wow, the more fit you are, the more episodes they're going to write for you, the more fans you have, the more money you're going to make. It was like a self-fulfilling thing. So I just embraced it. I wanted to be super, super fit. I made sure I was.

Men can be sexualized just as much as women, and Chocchi is a perfect example of that in the opening credits. He's coming out of the water. His muscles are popping out. I think he puts his head back like this.

It was hot.

Action. When we were filming on the beach, we had a thing called the rolling six-pack. We said, rolling, everybody hold it in. I know you've seen. And then we do the scene, and they get cut, then let it out.

That was no biceps.

Okay, next. Baywatch created a situation which maybe was good or wasn't good, that everybody's body was so ideal that it actually pushed the fitness craze because you wanted to be like these people or you didn't fit anymore.

Eger, who is currently battling breast cancer, says the show was more than just those red bathing suits.

I wanted it to be just more in-depth than that and for everybody to give their side of what their life is like instead of it being written about them.

But they will always have their Moment in the Sun.

Cut print. Let's go.

I'm a Baywatch bitch, and I love it.

After Baywatch, Moment in the Sun is streaming now on Hulu.
