Trivia:
In his "E! True Hollywood Story" bio, Lee Majors says that his career in show business began by hanging out with stuntmen and occasionally working as one himself. In tribute, Lee took the role of Colt Seavers and made sure that real stuntmen got plenty of work on the show. more
Quotes:
Colt Seavers: This is the story of one of America's great unsung heroes. I mean you've seen him but you never knew who he was. You've cheered for him and cried for him and women have wanted to die for him. But did he ever get any credit or the girl? No!

One Of The Many Classic 1980's Shows, 27 May 2002
Author: Big Movie Fan from England

The Fall Guy was just one in a whole list of classic 80's fare such as The A-Team, Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider. It featured Lee Majors as bounty hunter Colt Seavers and he was joined by his sidekick Howie Munson who was a bit naive at times. They were also joined by the beautiful Heather Thomas who played Jody Banks.

Like many 1980's action shows The Fall Guy was not to be taken seriously. The plots were crazy, the characters were crazier, the stories were rather mad at times and what can I say about the stunts-they were out of this world. Week after week Lee Majors topped his stunts and did things such as jumping from a plane without a parachute and jumping from tall bridges into water below.

Highly enjoyable series-but when will anyone release it onto video?
