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.

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.

THE BIONIC MAN BECOMES A DAREDEVIL STUNTMAN
Review date: 2007-06-26 Rating: 8 out of 10

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.
