    I was suprised Heather Thomas didn't go anywhere carrer wise. Heather Locklear was a guest star on the fall guy. Yes as far as entertainment value the show was one of the best. not one of the best all time. don't get me wrong I have the season 1 dvd set and am one of the biggest Lee Majors fans SMDM, etc.

      I loved watching this show back in the Eighties, but The Fall Guy is synonymous with using stock footage from motion pictures in my memory now. I clearly remember one episode where they cut Lee Majors into the skateboard chase from Back to the Future (substituting him for all of Michael J. Fox's close-ups). But I can't find proof of that on the internet anywhere. Did I dream it?

        In another episode they re-used the entire bi-plane vs helicopters chase scene from Capricorn One.You have to admire the producer's cost-cutting.

          Don't forget Markie Post, either!
          Yeah, for most of the series, she's covered up in business or casual attire, but watch Season 3 Episode 8 (Inside, Outside) and you'll never ever forget Markie Post was on the Fall Guy!!
          (She gets kidnapped from the beach, and for almost the entire episode, she's wearing only a tight bikini!! It really opened my eyes!!)

                  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.

                    Probably one of the best theme songs of all time.

                      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.

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

                          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.

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

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

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

                                      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.

                                        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!!

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