Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
gusfaute Fall Guy was a really fun show. Lee Majors is great. Also I think he must have had a seriously big horse shoe in his pocket because he just went from hit show to hit show from the 1950's through down to the 1980's, The Big Valley to The Six Million Dollar Man to The Fall Guy... even now he is on Ash vs. The Evil Dead and looks about the same as he did in the eighties! The show has a lot of great action in it. If you like 1980's era cop shows and car chase scenes especially where the cars flip and smash and blow up, this is a great show for you.But there is also a surprising amount of comedy in this show and it still holds up as funny and entertaining although the stories and action scenes are pretty dated and not as slick as you would see in shows today. Lots of hot ladies and guest stars galore too.
Parker Lewis The Fall Guy represented an era when actors and actresses really had to earn their pay by getting ratings across 24 episodes in a season, unlike now where a season can run for 8 episodes and rate 1.5 on a good night, and be considered a "critical breakout success" because they cover "politically correct" agenda items. Of course due respect to those who do that kind of 8 episode work.The Fall Guy was one of the best of the 80s and it's an era that in some ways reflected the glory days of Reagan-Bush (the Bush Sr), with no action spared, an incredibly attractive Heather Thomas (she should have got her own show), and Lee Majors being The Man. No time for being distracted by social issues if you know what I mean.
jamesbarnshaw This is just plain fun for me. it is funny,serious & sometimes violent. the perfect afternoon show to lose yourself for an hour. i never got to see lee majors in the 6million dollar man. so this is my first real experience with him (apart from a few film roles). you can never take this series to seriously, its just so entertaining. E.G - just watched an episode where colt,Jodie & Howie, along with some stunt men buddies, break into devils island Mexico to rescue an old flame of colts. colt and his stunt men friends jump out the back of a helicopter on motorbikes!!LOL Jodie throws fake bombs and smoke grenades out of a moving helicopter LMAO!!! and Howie punches his way through the Mexican soldiers. Man its so implausible but thats what makes it soo entertaining. get some friends, some joints (or beers) & settle in for some laughs thrills and spills!!!!!!!!! hell yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Mister-6 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!
