The Fall Guy is an American action/adventure television program produced for ABC and originally 
broadcast from November 4, 1981 to May 2, 1986. It starred Lee Majors, Douglas Barr, and Heather Thomas. 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.

” I didnt spend much time in school, but i taught ladies plenty…”.
Best line ever. Dont get lines like that sung (or spoke) by the star of a tv show these days do you? Bet there was alot of tv stars back then that were jealous of Lee Majors, both as an action star and gifted theme song lyricist too. Dennis Waterman for example could never get away with a line like that.
The Fall Guy never jumped. Cool leading man, hot chicks, awesome stunts and an iconic car. Works for me.

Is Lee Majors the only man alive that could take Chuck Norris in a fight?
If Lee Majors and Steve McQueen met, would the resulting explosion of coolness result in a new Ice Age?

Lee Majors simply spoke the theme tune. He was too cool to sing anything.

Ironic that Lee Majors played a hard stunt man while all his action scenes in the show had to be done by a real hard stunt man.

The introduction of nephew Howie. Think he spent one term at a University and now had a never ending knowledge on various subjects. A running gag which failed to deliver everytime.
