The Fall Guy, to me will always be fondly remembered.When that show aired it was in a time when T.V. was good and not profane. And the show had good story plot; action,adventure,and stunts. I watched this show often as a kid growing up in the 80's. And still do years later now. If only T.V. was the way it used to be. Thank You!, Glen Larson for the great T.V. shows you created and produced. And to Lee Majors, they couldn't found a better man for the job!

The Unknown Stuntman was a fantastic song..."But the hardest thing I ever do is watch my leading ladies
Kiss some other guy while I’m bandaging my knee."
Wow, I like it so much. One of the best ever.

You know what? to the guy who stated that the theme song was the worst ever, you shouldn't watch tv then, because all of the theme songs are cheesy. They are what made the show watch-able in addition to the hookey acting. Look at all the others, Chips, Dukes of Hazard, Miami Vice. Etc... The theme songs were catchy and cheesy, but Ill bet you watched them all. They are a great part of American culture.

Interesting... In Holland this show was aired when Knightrider was very very populair. For us it seemed just like a Knighrider bandwagon series (fast cars, stunts, solving crimes).

And now I just found out this series actually is older

Where is Heather Thomas in 2007?
Heather in hot pink bikini & a hot tub. Nuff Said.

I always dug that crossover epsiode, that feautred Lou Ferrigno (sp?) and several members of "Trauma Center", another short-lived 80s show..

The Fall Guy is currently in syndication on UK satellite Tv channel FiveUS. Whilst not being any great shakes entertainment-wise, any show that features the delectable Markie Post in her prime, cannot be all bad. Like most Aaron Spelling products, it is all done somewhat tongue-in-cheek, & the plots are usually wafer-thin & scarcely hang together, if at all. One episode guested my all-time favourite gorgeous babe Judy Landers wearing a bikini. That, for me, was reason enough to watch, & if you double her up with the aforementioned Markie, well theres another reason!.

Never jumped. pure cheese start to finish, gott admire it for that

Most memorable theme ever! As for the rest of the show, well....

Got to give a female opinion here. It's bunkum to say Lee Majors could not act; he could and he did. And as to the bikini scenes, well the only one I and his fans wanted to see topless was Mr. Majors himself, owner of the best body in the business - those bathtub scenes were just as ordered - often. As to singing? Well, I never heard Mr. Majors claim he could sing, but I tell you what he held a tune better than most I've heard today.

Pretty Boy Lee just can't act. OK in an ensemble cast (The Big Valley), but can't carry a show. He mumbles and can't change his facial expression. I've seen comatose stroke victims communicate better.

This show was reasonably entertaining for a few seasons, but was never really great. The stories were weak enough that they didn't totally carry the show, so it really made the show a lot more watchable when scenes with the bikini-clad Markie/Heather duo were a regular feature. Though I preferred Markie Post in a bikini rather than a business suit, I've gotta disagree with the comment that she totally ruined things when she wore the suit all the time on Night Court. Markie's Night Court attire gave her that appeal of seething sexiness not quite hidden by a conservative exterior. But that's another show. Back to the Fall Guy. Unlike the above commenter, I wouldn't say that seeing Heather Thomas in a teeny-weeny bikini sashay through those saloon doors in the show's opening was the only reason I watched, but it surely didn't hurt! I agree with those who thought she was even hotter than Heather Locklear (which is saying something, since Heather L. was quite a babe herself). I don't know enough about Heather T.'s personal life to have any idea about the accuracy of the statement that she got wrecked by "nose candy and dumb jocks." Who knows? There has to have been some reason she disappeared into B movies. I would have thought she would have made it big. This was one smokin' hot bitch. Even though she still looked great in her tight jeans, fewer scenes of Heather wearing almost nothing definitely didn't do the Fall Guy any good. I wouldn't say the show was hurt by the opening theme, though. Okay, so Lee Majors' voice sounded sort of like a pregnant eel's (well, maybe not that bad), but it was kind of amusing how nonchalant he was when singing about getting, beaten up, blown up and set on fire. All in a day's work, you know. Still, the show was never more than sort-of-okay basic entertainment. It benefited too much by the presence of too babes showing lots of skin for it to stay worth paying attention to as much when one babe was gone and the other's flesh went into hiding.

Did you ever notice during the first season of this show that during Lee Majors' narration, he would state that picture work isn't wall to wall employment, yet it seemed as though his character was doing stunt work for a movie each week. Hello writers, this is continuity, LET ME IN!!!

My son liked this show until he turned about six years old. He liked Colt's truck. I liked the way Heather Thomas looked. Other than those reasons, this show was a waste of time. That theme song, THE UNKNOWN STUNTMAN, was probably the worst theme song in the history of TV.

THE FALL GUY was a relatively entertaining ABC adventure with Lee Majors as an over the hill bounty hunter. Even though Majors was probably a little too old for a lot of the stuff that Colt Seavers was required to do, I still watched it without falling asleep. The shark jump occurred with the casting of Nedra Volz as the bondswoman. What were they thinking?
