Great Moments in Television-The Fall Guy

Did you forget about this one?

Man, The Fall Guy had everything I was looking for in entertainment.


Really, it probably still does.




Per Wiki-

Lee Majors plays Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter. He uses his physical skills and knowledge of stunt effects (especially stunts involving cars or his large GMC pickup truck) to capture fugitives and criminals. He is accompanied by his cousin and stuntman-in-training Howie Munson, and occasionally by fellow stunt performer Jody Banks (played by Heather Thomas).

Typically, an episode starts with Seavers' crew performing a stunt for a film or TV series. They are then assigned to finding, for example, a man who has skipped bail. His case turns out to be more complicated than it first seemed. In the course of dealing with the villains, Seavers performs a stunt similar to the one shown at the beginning of the show.

The series is known for its frequent cameos by Hollywood celebrities and the occasional in-joke referring to Majors' previous series, The Six Million Dollar Man.

Honestly, I don't remember any story line from this fantastic show and that really doesn't matter.

There were car chases, dudes jumping out of helicopters, fist fights, jokes, bikinis and GMC pick-ups flying through the air in every episode.

And they were hour long episodes...

So there was plenty of time for more beachwear, bad guys and stunts.



What in today's broadcasting line up even comes close?

An aging stunt man/bounty hunter goes on adventures with his comic relief and hot chics...

That is a recipe for entertainment right there and you know it.


Now, you get shows about suited college grads.
Doctors and DA's standing in offices, looking pensive, as they make the hardest choices of their careers.
Big fuckin' deal...


I want cars jumping over moving trains.
