gone too soon

I remember when this show was on. I think they only ever made 6 or 7 episodes to give it a test run. I absolutely loved this show when it was on and i was so disappointed when they took it off. I would love to be able to buy what few episodes there were on DVD. I agree it can be compared to Baywatch. It was Baywatch on a mountain pretty much. I still very much enjoyed it (as i did Baywatch. James Brolin did a great job in this show as did Cameron Bancroft. Score one for a good Ole Canadian boy! Maybe they should try bringing it back for a second run! With all the reality shows out there these days, this show would definitely be a breath of fresh air.

Cut Too Short

I've seen this show twice now, although I did think there were more episodes produced. This is a great show that seems to be just getting into its stride when boom it finishes. We are left on a cliffhanger - which is quite annoying. At it's time it was a fun series that should've been given a chance.

The characters are interesting and fun to watch and the chemistry between the romances was good. The setting was very well realised and it was fun to have a house that was not built as part of the settings, it made for interesting viewing. There was a mystery that provided the overall arc of the series, if it had gone the distance. And it is quite annoying that there was no resolution to that story before the series ended.

I recently saw the pilot for WB's The Mountain and was instantly reminded of Extreme. Here's to repeats, long may it appear on our screens...

Full 13 episodes, but not more than 6/7 in US.

It'd be great to know if anyone recorded the rest, but who knows.

Baywatch hits the snowy slopes

I remember this show being on as a fill-in during the "ratings sweeps." I thought it was kind of cool and was surprised that ABC didn't give it a full-season shot. To me, though, put matching swimsuits on the younger ones and give James Brolin a shave and a tan and move the locale to Malibu and, basically, you have a poor man's "Baywatch."
