I watched Sea Hunt, and the other shows mentione above (along with Malibu Run), as a kid. I remember that Sea Hunt played on our local TV just after swim team practice, and we would got out of the practice, run upstairs in the YMCA in Salem, Oregon, and watch Sea Hunt until it was time to go home. (Actually, I cannot remember whether it was before practice or after, and thinking about it, it may have been before practice...its been a while since I thought about that.) But it was fun, and at only a half hour, it did not take much time away from things.
