Welcome to the full first season of The Fall Guy. This is an 80's TV show that is a bit cheesy but lots of fun.
Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) is a professional stunt man. But like most people in the entertainment business, he finds that doesn't cover all of his bills. So he also works as a bounty hunter for bail bondswoman Samantha Jack (Jo Ann Pflug). Helping him out are his cousin Howie (Douglas Barr) and his protege Jody (Heather Thomas). And it's a good thing he can do stunts, too, because that ability comes in mighty handy when the crooks run.
This is an action show. And when you consider this was a TV show, it's pretty amazing the stunts they do. Each episode usually features one movie stunt and then several more "real life" stunts as Colt works to catch his man. While we get plenty of car chases and jumps, there are some truly spectacular stunts, especially in the first half.
The cast does a great job and they are obviously having fun together. Unfortunately, Heather Thomas is underused as Jody, sometimes being reduced to just a cameo. And speaking of cameos, they've got an impressive list of cameos from Tom Selleck to Farrah Fawcette and Herve Villechaize.
This season of the show got three releases, this set and two sets that broke the season up into two halves. I recommend this set. It contains everything from those two sets at the same price. Why get two when you can get one?
This is a guy's action show with impressive stunts. It's 80's television, but still lots of fun today.

Lee Majors star's in this early 80's series as Hollywood Stuntman and sometimes Bounty Hunter Colt Seavers. Fresh from the Success with five years as the 'Six Million Dollar Man' Lee moved to this series which also lasted five years. Colt is helped by Sexy Jodie and Dippy Howie who is Colt's cousin in performing the stunts and bounty hunting. Colt drives a large Chevy Blazer truck which is his pride and joy painted in brown and gold. Lee fights his way through the 23 episodes against villians and crooked producers and other stunt men. It's a good series but I am forever expecting Lee to use his Bionic powers !. And he also wears a rather unconvincing Wig which seems to change it's shade by the episode. I hope all five series get issued as it's one of those forgotten series that needs to get put on Dvd.

..but the Fall Guy stands the test of time.
Back in the days before DVD extras opened up behind the scenes of movie making, before producers even realised people would be interested, the Fall Guy gave us a glimpse. There was also a surge in interest in stunt-men at the time and add in the fact that Colt Seavers is a bounty hunter when between stunt gigs and it was a formulation guaranteed to yield instant success.
The acting is a little wooden at times, but then this was the 80s and the show itself had that over-the-top feel where even the most serious of situations and stories were just a little comical.
The picture transfer is one of the best I've seen for a 25 year old print and the sound is impeccable. The only minor annoyance is the fractionally longer than needed black screen gaps where the advert breaks obviously used to reside.
Whilst the DVD set isn't exactly over-loaded with special features what is there is entertaining and it's nice to hear the whole theme tune for a change.
Another thing that gives the show's age away is the it's attitude towards guns. Much like most of the shows of the time, guns feature prominently; so I can see parents of today being a little reluctant to introduce their kids to the series, however I think they would be missing out. The box set is excellent and I recommend it to everyone.
Right now I'm off to the shops to get some cardboard boxes so I can leap off my garage roof on to them, much like I did when I was 8 and having just watched the show.

Although the action seems to be quaint for the present times it is still full of humor and the stunt sequences fun to watch. And who didn't want to own THAT car. Start snapping your fingers now....

well i have just finished watching the first season boxset of The Fall Guy and you know what i love every single episode of it. the pilot episode had the right ingredients of a fall guy episode . it was funny and made me laugh and i enjoyed it so much i might just watch it again, hell i might watch the first season boxset again it is such an enjoyable series and you do think to yourself they don't make 'em like this anymore. Lee Majors is so well cast in the role of Colt Seavers that you could not see any other actor playing that role. love all the episodes though but my favourite episodes are the pilot episode, the meek shall inherit Rhonda The rich get richer, goin for it (like that for the scene when the guy Colt has to pick up kicks his truck). love that everytime someone else drives Colt's Truck and he shouts That's my truck and i like the 2 part episode License to Kill. but yep overall i like all the episodes from season 1 even the featurettes are good especially when Lee Majors can't remember the name of his ex wife which you do hear in the lyrics of the theme song. i even like the closing credits theme so much so i go onto the scene selection of the episode i've just watched and listen to it again. roll on Series 2 of this TV classic and deservedly so.
