Educational, fun and gloriously retro, Danger Bay is perfect lazy afternoon quality

Danger Bay offers a fun, informative and dramatic look at the life and work of marine veterinarian Dr. Grant 'Doc' Roberts and his two children Jonah and Nicole. Every episode offers an educating and exciting adventure as the trio (or some variation including those characters) take on saving the life of a marine animal. It might be a little predictable, but so is CSI, and at least there isn't a precise equation to the episode (next time you watch CSI, note that approx. 10 minutes before the end of the episode you find out who *really* committed the murder). As Doc Roberts, Donnelly Rhodes offers the typical strong, caring Dad performance, while Christopher Crabb as Jonah and the fittingly named Ocean Hellmen as Nicole provide the 'good kid who always learns a meaningful lesson' characters. The awesome theme song and glorious 80s quality make the perfect addition to your lazy afternoon in front of the TV.
