Le cascadeur

Both seasons of this show offer good, undemanding entertainment with a nice blend of action and humour. Perfect viewing for a Sunday afternoon, or whenever you want to relax & be entertained by a TV show, I'd say.

Good idea to have a trio (sometimes quartet) of main characters – this brings a nice interaction between a group of regular characters which fills out the show and gives it an extra lift, adding personality to the show (a regular writer's technique, but always good to see it in action and working as well as it does here).

Some episodes also feature circa 1980s Country music on their soundtracks – though some of this was changed for the DVD releases because of copyright - so the show can be pretty easy on the ear too!

80s shows that you can still enjoy today. This cannot be said about many of the other shows out there at that time (Knight Rider, A-Team, all the ones I can't even recall anymore). Got to love that title tune sung by Lee himself as well :)

Simply put, this is one of the best series a boy could grow up watching. Good ol, rowdy fighting, truck driving, red-neck woman watching entertainment. Though it lacked any true story line, the show made up for it in every other aspect. Unlike all of these reality shows that I can't seem to get off my TV. We need a new show that focuses on a regular blue collared no B.S. kind of MAN with morals, big truck, and beautiful blonde assistant.

I would love to see the show available on DVDs. I do however have mixed feelings about a remake of the show. Some things shouldn't be altered. However, if there is one made, I need to get on the ball and buy a truck like the one Colt had,(love to have one anyway) but now the price value more than triples after a movie is made w/ a great vehicle.

Ahh, the '80s - what a decade: big hair, faded denim, ankle-high boots...and that was just Heather Thomas alone!

"The Fall Guy" was a guy's show, plain and simple. Produced by action-meister Glen Larson (along with TV shows "Battlestar: Galactica", "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century", "BJ and the Bear" and "The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo"), it followed the same tried-and-true formula of lots of action, explosions, fights, tough guys doing tough things...and, of course, beautiful women.

They had the tough guys covered with "The Six Million Dollar Man" himself Lee Majors as Colt Seevers (See? Even a tough name!), a stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter.

His partner is nephew Howie Munson (Doug Barr), a guy who is a semi-genius (having been in countless colleges) and fancies himself a stunt man also, in spite of the fact that he ends up getting the worst of the situation usually.

And then there's Jody Banks (the blossom of womanhood herself - Heather Thomas), who was as rough and tough as they come, but looked a HECK of a lot better in swim-wear than her fellow stunt men!

Every week they were bringing felons back to justice, saving towns from outlaw bikers, fighting against evil UFOs, finding themselves surrounded by beautiful women and, every once in a while, big name guest stars (Buddy Hackett, William Conrad, Barry Newman, Richard Burton (!!!), Shecky Greene) - even Roy Rogers came by for two shows! What talent!

No wonder it stayed on the air as long as it did; it had everything a male chauvinist pig could want in a TV show. Even, for a few seasons, Markie Post (and if you've never seen Markie in a bikini, you HAVE to watch this show!!).

It lives on in syndication and, naturally, finds new generations of fans every time it's on. So, join the legion of fans who forever cheer, "Viva la "Fall Guy!" - you won't be alone.

Ten stars and a set of gold-plated elbow pads for "The Fall Guy" - and let's hear it for that Fall GIRL!

LOTS of us were Lee Majors fans coming out of the 60s and 70s. From his first big splash as Heath Barkley through the Six-Million-Dollar Man, Majors entertained us with his good looks and leading-man charisma. I can say that even as a guy. LOL

The Fall Guy was a great idea. Combining stunts with the first popular bail-bond agent concept. This was years before that long-haired guy in Hawaii. ;-)

"Howie" was more irritating that entertaining, but the show survived that, and ran a surprising five seasons. I'd have given it two, and that's probably how long we watched it before it ran it's course with us. Now we've picked it back up where we can binge it, and we'll likely watch all five seasons now. The episodes were entertaining but forgettable, so we'll be surprised at the stories all over again.
