It's odd seeing Lee Majors in such a different role from Steve Austin but it works really well. It's a fun show. It does kinda feel like Magnum PI but without ever being serious. It's available on Amazon Prime but only the first two seasons. I would like to see the whole series.

Totally agree. You'd think when they came out with the dvd four seasons one and two, they would've used the original music they played on the episodes. I understand there are royalty issues and all that but not to play it as it was when originally aired is a real let down.
William Forsythe

Underrated series.

Who had the computer game back then,I had it for the Spectrum 48k,great stuff

You'd think TV Land would play it or at least a local tv station. Miss that show.

I love this show. Its probably in my top 10 favorite shows of all time.
I'm glad to see that it still has so many fans.

Or his acting was so good that it exceeded his talent and it looked as if he was playing Lee Majors.
Yeah, that's right

I'm a big Lee Majors fan also and started out loving the show but as the season's progressed I thought it lost its magic. What I did get a kick out of was that Lee Major played a stunt man and it was so painfully obvious that a stunt man was used every time Majors was required to do anything remotely difficult. Oh well
I also didn't think Lee Majors was playing Colt Seavers in this show it was more like Lee Majors was playing himself but just gave himself a name change. I agree he probably had a blast doing the show.
Majors best acting came in the Big Valley. He was too subdued in the Six Million Dollar Man and he wasn't acting in the Fall Guy.

I watched the season 1 dvd set and man did it go fast. The show has very good entertainment value. Heather Thomas coming through the saloon style doors in the blue bikini (small and revealing) is a highlight they show. But if you watch the show it didn't get popular from Heather Thomas wearing skimpy outfits:she was a regular stunt man throughout the show. Yes, Lee Majors had a ball doing the show. It was a top show of the 80s just like the Six million dollar man was a top show of the 70s. funny thing about the pitch the theme song was made before the show ever was thought of. Glen Larson (battlestar galactica producer and writer) had a friend in a band and he wrote the song 'The Unknown Stuntman' - not commissioned by Larson but Larson got the idea for the show 'The Fall Guy' from the song. Larson had his friend 'Pitch' the show by playing the theme song and with Larson being a big TV show success they bought into the idea, also Larson wanted to add the "bounty Hunter' aspect into the show. Man they hit the nail on the head and it was a huge success.

It was a pretty awesome show.
It feels better when you've won

I was about 13 at the time, and Lee Majors was the first TV star I had a crush on Oh how I waited every week for a new crazy adventure to begin!!
Let's be realists, let's demand the impossible.

I am a big Lee Majors fan and really liked the show in the 80's. made a point to see it every week and of course heather thomas was very good looking. heather locklear was better looking in my opinion and i remember she was in a Fall Guy episode. That truck must of had the best suspension of any made : with all the jump and abuse it took. great show, great actor - Lee Majors.

Who do you think should have been singing it? Tom Selleck?

Are you saying the 6 Million Dollar man was not talented enough to sing that song?

Most Americans are unfamiliar with New Tricks, a British cop show, which plays on some PBS stations.

No
Who needs saints when you know me

Dennis Waterman ring any bells?

I Think the fall guy was the only show that made it and had the lead actor singing the opening credits theme song. As far as a tv series that made it (not cancelled early) it has to be the only one. I like Gideonj34 saying they liked the theme song but 'I'm not sure if it was such a good idea to have Majors sing it.' Majors did do singing in the six million dollar man - bionic woman episode, it was rather bad - and that's coming from a big fan.

I am happy that Majors did it. It gives it charm.

My late husband once told me that house was somewhere in the Hollywood Hills with the tub out in the yard. He grew up in Hollywood and knew a lot of trivia.

Probably one of the best theme songs of all time.

The Fall Guy definitely had one of the catchiest theme songs of all time. I can still sing it now. And I have a friend at work who I call "Howie Munson" because no matter what subject we talk about, he knows all about it and always quotes a different university:
"Back when I was at Penn St., I majored in auto-mechanics." Howie must have attended every school in the US.

I've been checking out eBay for years to find one in mint condition but haven't had any luck.

Yep great show, I loved Colt's truck.
